I'm relatively new to the game (came in a late HW), and always been playing healers as my main roles (AST, SCH now in SB) and tanks when I felt like smacking things.

Just got my healer to 70 and now, instead of coming with a tank or another healer, I've decided boost and level a DPS job.

I've chose MCH and I'm having a - lot - of issues soloing stuff around to do quests, help with fates, etc, in that I'm VERY squishy! Even using snares, choco regen, I'm always in verge of death. Playing a dps role outside of group content is always like this?

Back with SCH leveling, I couldn't dish out much dmg, but nothing would kill me.
