Tanking is hard. It's even harder when you are a first time MMOer, and only chose Gladiator because you are an FF fan, and FF games usually start you off as fighters so you assume Gladiator, as the first choosable option is new-player friendly like I did. It is apparently even harder when you play on PS3.
This game is great. I love it. It does a great job with teaching you how to play the quests, and various basic tactics. It does NOT teach you deeper party mechanics very well. I did my forth dungeon, and saw for the first time what Marking actually means. I never knew how to do it, and even from reading around these forums I thought it really only referred to who the Tank attacks first.
Are there some best practices for how to set up your controls and hot bars and in the configurations? Where can I get some first time macro help?
I'm a tank. It's the class I chose, and I don't want to switch classes just to run from it. I take it seriously and want to get better. Please help!
