    Now, I've been trying to figure out what you are enjoying then and what makes you think that skipping Stormblood will make the hame more enjoyable to you again? I'm honestly curious, because I always had a slight understanding for people who arent fond of dungeons but would like to see the story of the game - but if you want to skip that, that cant be what you enjoy?

    Besides crafting and gathering - what really is there in this game in the long run if not participating in some form of instances content? And why is someone who doesnt enjoy that kind of content playing this game?
    I just cant make sense of it...

    Honetsly, if tanking isnt fun to you: Get over your missguided "pride" and pick a role that you'll enjoy playing. Skipping Stormblood wont help, there are going to be new dungeons in Shadowbringers aswell, endgame will involve instanced content in any case - all you're going to do by skipping Stormblood is losing out on the story.

    Before you enter any level 70 dungeon though: Get proper right side gear, okay? ilvl260 isnt appropriate at level 70 anymore...

    Picking a class you enjoy playing isnt giving up - its making the most out of an entertainment product that you pay good money for! In my experience as a tank the community is quite nice though, specially if you let them know that its your first time and that you're open for advice. But I understand that tanking can be stressful and a game shouldnt be that - instead of running away from that by skipping over the problem until you encounter it again at somepoint, why not solve it by switching jobs?
    Honestly, skipping will make matters worse for you in Shadowbringers since you'll lack the experience of playing the tank of your choice appropriatly and afaik people have less patience with "skippers" than with someone whos genuily new and/or inexperienced. If you use a jump-potion you better make sure you compensate that lack of tanking experience if you want to continue playing a tank.
