Squadrons are a blessing, thanks Yoshi and devs!

I've been hesitant on leveling a tank ever since I had a horrible time back in the beta/EA days of ARR. It was so bad I left the game for months until just a few weeks shy of Heavensward.

Tank (and to an extent healer anxiety) is real. Sure, things have been adjusted since then and jobs have it easier, but man with squadrons I can go into a dungeon and pull at my pace so I can learn my job without risk of ridicule and frustration save for the content in place. No random afk healers, no DPSes rushing in and pulling because mass pulls at low levels is not a good idea. It's a good confidence booster once you get the hand of your class so you can play with others. On top of that dungeons are the utmost best xp/hr if you want to play solo (good for DPS).

I hope this isn't a one and done thing, I'd like to see them implement the HW dungeons, or dare I say, eight man content like primals and bosses. Love to see what they can do with squadrons. This recent MSQ patch shows that it can be done. I'll have to admit, originally I thought this was just some one and done content that I probably won't touch because I had like two DPS jobs already maxed level. Now that I desire to tank for awhile, squadrons have really helped me build confidence and actually enjoy tanking before I go off into the real meat of the game.

Thanks dev team, keep up the good work!

I actually agree! I love we also get to customize our Squadron mates! They feel now less like another-type-of-retainer and more like a cool... Squadron XD

Have you customized yours? If you haven't, any idea what you want to make them look like?

I intend to put my Marauder in a set of Void Ark Fending armour as soon as she's high enough for the glamour to take effect.

The one issue with this system is that the AI is not good at handling more complex mechanics. Just look at the final boss of Wanderer's Palace.

They might need to adjust the AI for battles where the adds need to be dealt with by DPS rather than Tanks.

Hopefully they'll add more mission up to 70
