I played dps pretty much all my life. My mind set to hit stuff really hard. Last few years i've been hook into Range dps in mmo (Hunter, Bard Mch, Ranger, ect. I have dab a little in tanking but the idea of it I never stay long to learn.
Trial were runs okay and easy. The ally raid. While it was CT/World of darkness so I knew it and it was again easy, the MT dead and I had step in (the eye boss).
Bit a quick panic as I and other tank didn't notice until boss moved away from mid. lol

I would go out on a limb and say you would probably hate the level 60+ style of tanking of wall to wall, wall to wall, boss, wall to wall, wall to wall, boss, wall to wall, wall to wall, boss, end. It gets REALLY old....REALLY fast. I don't tank in duty finder anymore for that reason....tanking in duty finder is just BORING. Which is why i'm SO excited for variant and criterion+savage dungeons. I'm hoping this promotes SMART dungeon crawling instead of bloodwhetting+inner release mode.

I would say keep at it with WAR...it get WAY better when you get to shadowbringers...everything just clicks. Which is why WAR is THE best tank...and I say tank. WAR is so incredibly stout, and my healers can always tell when I don't use bloodwhetting in savage.

Give it another shot, and don't let impatient people deter you. It pays off when people starting looking up to you as a Main Tank and can jump into any content. I got invited to a trap party...that was UCOB...never done an ultimate...but I learned in about a half hour as we made it almost through Nael.
I'll keep trying. I said that in WoW too but got to max level with that war though I came back to FF14 before I did any other content. I'll see where it leads.
What deter me a little was looking at my upcoming abilities and figuring wher to comfy put them on my controller.

I only use leveling dungeon duty to level alts but at max I rare ever go there. A lot Trials and Ally raids with guildheist mix in.
I'm trying to do the wall to wall, though AAR dungeons would say otherwise. What i've been finding Sprint makes me miss my aoe to aggo. As well as learning to use my CDs on trash. I use one then panic to use another.

I went War for that basic rage monster.. No. I mostly went as people said it was easy to stay alive which I would need >.>

Thank you.
