Ya, like others have said. If you duty finder, raid finder or party finder mainly. I would suggest using vitality accessories. If you are in a static or a free company that you run with, then I would play with strength accessories if comfortable. also you can meld some direct hit aswell. But atm! while leveling I would not bother too much, get the fending accessories and the gear for your job type from dungeons during your leveling time, as a tank you get insta pops, you would do well to spend most of your time in dungeons, along with doing your side quests, job quests and msq.

NB! Spending some time in dungeons is important as a tank it will allow you to understand your job as a tank possibly increasing your skill, while doing brain dead fates only will more than likely not help you in the long run, do them in the zone you are questing in as a bonus for xp though GL have fun.

Usually if you follow your MSQ and Job Quests it leads you where and where you need to go. Check in your journal under completed, that should point you in the general direction and look where you last left off.
