If you *were* trying a new role/job and were really foggy on most of the boss mechanics, would you want to:

A. Ask an FC to help do run of content with you while you learn to get support/advice

B. Find/create a "take it easy/learning" linkshell?

C. Keep putting up "role/job learning" party finder groups as you level/learn to find people willing to explain/be patient

D. Just jump into DF a lot and do your best

(yes of course you can look up guides but that can only go so far, so this is in addition fpr actual live practice/guidance)
As a DPS main, I would just run dungeon with any new job I'm trying. I mostly level tank jobs via MSQ, trial, and raid roulettes, though I've been known to do dungeons as a tank as well. For healer jobs, I've only run a synced dungeon once on WHM with 2 other FC friends, but mostly I level via beast tribe quests and fates in the past as I don't really like to heal.
