Beginner's Overview to Tanking in FFXIV

[Jpec07]

__________________________________________________

If you’ve made it here, I want to thank you for reading this guide. It’s taken a long time to write and has taken a lot of consideration, but I really wanted to try and address a knowledge gap that I’ve seen between veterans and rookies in this game without requiring 1-on-1 coaching time. While I am by no means the best tank, I’ve been tanking for a while, and wanted to compile the things I wish I’d known when I started in this game, and common questions I’ve heard from other rookie tanks.

It is my sincerest hope that this guide has been helpful, and that it will open the door for more people to enter this wonderful world of tanking.

I'm hoping to maintain this with each patch as changes are made (if there are any that apply). Check the first post for the latest patch I've updated with.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to post them, and I and the other folks here in the forum will do what we can to answer them.
