So last night I resubbed to FFXIV for a 3rd month (that's counting my months free trial as well, so this is the second time I've paid for a months play).
FFXIV is the first MMO that I've played, so I went in to it not knowing what things like Tanking, Aggro etc were. My starting class? Marauder. Great for solo play, but when it came to dungeons GEEZ I didn't know what I let myself in for. Didn't have a clue what I was doing! People shouting at me telling me that I was doing things wrong.
That's when I read up on how Tanking works. I did improve a little, but not much. I also felt there was way too much pressure on me within the party. I got MRD to 30 and GLD to 15, so I've unlocked the Warrior Job. But now I'm going to aim for Dragoon. As I've got MRD past 15 I now need to get LNC to 30 before I can carry on with the story quests, so hopefully I'll have better luck in dungeons as DPS.
What are your thoughts on Tanking vs DPS?
EDIT: Also any tips on levelling to 30 quickly? My LNC is currently level 7.
