Leveling up. Casters vs Melee

[Urthdigger]

While mages with cure DO have a lot more survivability, I wouldn't really call them stronger than melee classes. If you do your best to avoid getting swamped by multiple monsters and just do boss FATEs when others are fighting it as well, you should do well on that front.

Also, I'd implore you to give marauder in dungeons a try. Tanking can be a lot of fun, and many players are quite understanding if you tell them you are new, and are open to suggestions. There's not many tanks in the game, so a lot of players are eager to coach and encourage new ones.

I thought about what you said and think you are right about sticking with Marauder. I actually enjoyed the three early dungeons I did tank. It's alot more involved but alot of fun and feels really rewarding when you successfully complete a dungeons. I've just been kinda nervous not knowing where I'm going and having to lead the party as well as knowing boss mechanics but I think if I take your advice and let the party know I'm new it will work out okay. I will also research the dungeon on the web and learn about it before tanking.

As far as soloing, Marauder is perfect for me as it seems to be able to tackle difficult content pretty well.

Thank you

Glad you enjoyed the dungeons! As far as knowing the fights beforehand, you'll find most fights are fairly straightforward for the tank. A lot of mechanics are actually designed to never target the tank (Mostly ones that would make the tank drag the boss all over the map or incapacitate them). So, for bosses tanking is actually the easiest role.
