Easy tank to learn?

[Renathras]

Update I guess.
After my journey in that other game and tied tanking there, I got War to lvl 50 here (dungeon spam). While I felt better about playing a tank, I still had tankxiety. Getting to 50, I brought some tomb gear and went did some trials and ally raid.
Tanking not for me. To much going on and to stressful for my liking. While everyone I met were awesome and nice, I freak out at my own self. Among other stuff that not to my liking like to many buttons. I decide not to continue.
Back to rdps I go. I tried.

I won't push tanking on anyone, but one thing that REALLY helped me: Palace of the Dead.

PotD is designed to not require tanks. Like...at all. Any four Jobs (including 4 DPS with no healing abilities) are supposed to be able to clear it. That means even if you go in as a tank, it's pretty chill and not a lot is designed in there to kill a DPS, so a tank can easily survive it all. You can play around with abilities in there (things often die so fast it's irrelevant if you're using a "proper" rotation, even), and there's really no stress since, if someone else pulls agro...so what? It's designed to not kill them.

I dunno, just a suggestion I make to all new tanks since it REALLY helped me learn to just chill and roll with it. Guildhests are a similar thing, even if almost no one runs them.

The real trick to me as a tank was just being able to throw caution to the wind and pull stuff. As a healer, I've worried about health bars so long, it was weird not to. But tanks can practically heal themselves (and a party member in some cases along with them), and if you typically play a DPS anyway, that's generally not your concern to begin with.

Either path you choose, I wish you luck and fun times, friend. o/

I totally forgot PotD.
I'll level my war to 60 (almost there) to get pvp Garo title but I'm not touching much of my duty roulettes. I alt-f4 when feeling overwhelm as a tank. *looks at dungeons*. While everyone here and in game are nice. I just get tankxiety. To much going on and to much to keep track of. I have a hard enough time as dps, adding Tank mechanics to the mix *head explodes*. lol.
I tried tanking and as much as I hope, it not clicking for me.
That's find. Was something different to try.
