Is there a way to purposely get lower dungeons in roulette?

[Awarewolf]

I am so bad at tanking but I want to practice while earning XP. I am comfortable with dungeons up until Stormblood, after that I don't know the fights too well and I have issues memorizing things nowadays.

If there isn't, what content would you suggest for me? My Gunbreaker is level 84. Should I stick to Fates?

You're a tank just select lower dungeons and you will get into them instantly. When ready go into the roulette.

Yes, you can unequip gear to lower your ilvl.
However, Tanking in dungeons hasn't changed much if at all since Stormblood. Every dungeon since then has had a standard format of two sets of two-pack pulls before each boss, and the bosses themselves don't pose much of a threat to a tank so long as you mitigate the tank buster.

Item level determines what you get. The game snapshots the armor you wear when you queue. It's how people get crystal tower raids when they do Alliance roulette. It's fairly frowned apon, but if your intent is to practice with real people that might be your only option outside of trusts or just outright queuing for lower content.

Just queue low-level dungeons until you're comfortable tanking instead of trying to game the system 4head.

Trusts have been put in for a lot of the lower level dungeons up to a certain point and you can use them if you're nervous about playing with others. You could use trusts in ShB and EW as well.

The combat from your party won't be exactly the same, but the bosses will be doing the same attacks and it will allow you to memorize fights since the NPCs always know where to go.

Higher level dungeons are much easier to tank than lower level ones because of the powerful skills you unlock on higher levels.

Just use Duty Support to get comfy with tanking. Once you feel like you're ready to do more, communicate with your party if you're unsure of one thing or another. People are more understanding when they know what they're dealing with from the start.

You could always do a Party Finder group - if you explicitly say lower dungeons and tanking practice there'll no doubt be some nice folks who will happily help. Otherwise, as previously mentioned - Duty Support is a good one for learning the basics with no other players there, ask your FC is they would mind helping, or just queue for a specific set of lower dungeons (granted you don't get the roulette bonus but that's the gamble of roulette - one day you could be in Sastasha, the next you're in <insert current hardest/painful dungeon>, but at least you get some sweet exp bonus!).

So the trick to tanking is to realize that every dungeon is the same.
If you've done the few outliers in ARR, you've essentially seen all the exotic things a dungeon has to offer. They are always now going to be a line with a couple of pulls of mobs to some sort of blockade or door. You kill those mobs the door opens. You then are presented with another hallway with no branching paths with another couple of pulls of mobs. You then are presented with a boss room.
The above repeats two more times and you're done the dungeon!

Tanking is exceptionally easy once you've realized how simple everything is. However it seems to still have this awe of heightened responsibility or something that scares people off from it. I assure you there is no responsibility and everything is the DPS's fault!

Jokes aside it's really kinda lame how everything is simplified imo, but it really does make it easy and predictable to how a dungeon will go.
