I've played quite a few MMOs and I play tank and healer. I love equally. While I'm a fine healer in FF14, my tanking is, too me, disappointing. Everyone is saying I'm doing fine, but FF14's community is so friendly I can't take this at face value. My main is a Scholar, and I've seen few tanks worse than me. Maybe I'm just not noticing because I shut my brain off and cleric stance the whole dungeon, turning it on only when things start going side ways at which point I can't tell whose fault it is.

Mostly, the DDs tend to peel off aggro from a mob or two. I do get it back, but they often times can get a swing in at the DD before I can fix the issue. I'm running the dungeons from low to high, wanting to master the old ones before doing a higher level dungeon. But I'm told that pre-30 losing aggro is normal (?) which is something I find hard to believe.

So am I a bad tank or my guildies giving it to me strait after all?
