Hello folks. I've been playing FF14 for about six weeks total, give or take, though I recently made a new character on another data center for reasons that aren't really relevant right now, and I decided to go Warrior since I think big axes are pretty cool. I had played a bit of WoW before, but almost exclusively as DPS, so I had very little experience with tanking specifically.
Despite this, it's been going pretty well so far! I've been looking up guides to help me figure it out and having a friend who is a healer main is also very helpful. That said I am now quickly approaching my first 8-man dungeon and I'd like some tips on how I should approach working together with another tank.
Tanking by yourself is pretty straightforward, that's something I understand by now, but I don't know how much a second tank changes things, or what kind of expectations there will be. I've been trying to find info on it on my own but haven't had much luck. Any advice to give me a head start would be greatly appreciated!
As an aside, I just wanna say that being a new player in FF14 has been a very pleasant experience so far! Random dungeon groups in WoW were always either very indifferent or just actively hostile, but the random people I've played with in FF14 so far have been very friendly and willing to explain things for me if there's a mechanic I don't get or a dungeon I don't know how to navigate (looking at you, Hauke Manor). All in all it's been a blast so far, which was more I could say for the horrid player interactions I've accepted as the norm in other multiplayer games.
