When DPS I flail along til the boss and ask if there's anything I need to do.

This has not been working, and I would like to tank more.

I have just been avoiding random Q's: but, sometimes I need a run for the main quest line. I am looking for suggestions about how to address these issues in a way that will work. I am not used to the arbitrary hate of new players that I have been experiencing in FFXIV, so I assume that there is something I am doing wrong when approaching the issue.
So now that it's been a few months since you were pretty green, do you get it yet? :')
