A Thread By A Tank For Future/Current Tanks.

[Blindfate]

Blame is easily pointed, mostly, into two directions. The tank, or the healer.

DPS are rarely responsible apparently.

Lol. That's true. I didn't include healers blaming tanks because I find that they don't blame the tank as much or they hold a similar responsibility. So most healers might be more understanding. Especially since they're healing, they can access the situation a lot better than people who are just doing damage and dodging.

DPS takes a lot of crap on DPS check fights when they putting out the numbers they need, its one of the few things that will make me bail from a DF group is not enough dps because you just CANNOT complete the content if dps cannot kill things within the allowed time period.

Like, seriously, this is my first MMO ever in the history of everything ever, and I already feel so attached to and protective of the tank role that I see myself helping to start support groups for it to bolster us all.

I read most of your thread.
I just wanted to say I'm a healer. If I tank dies I feel responsible because either I wasn't doing the right cure or maybe lack of paying attention to the dps healing them. In all I usually just say sorry my bad if the Tank die

Don't be too nervous or scared. Be confident. That can make all the difference. You, as the healer, also have to understand patterns for boss. Save your heals for some part, like when they do their hard hitting moves or AoE moves. Sometimes you can save your heals for the tank when they need it the most.

I'm not a experienced healer so I can't give you the best advice but this is what I have to offer for the healers due to my lack of knowledge for healers.

I just wanted to say thanks for this thread... I just completed my first instanced dungeon (not just my first in FFXIV, but my first in any MMO ever), and it went well. So thanks for helping a complete newbie do an adequate job first time out!

You have no idea how happy this made me. You're welcome and I'm glad. :3
