So i started the game as arcanist then switched to samurai when i got to 50 and leveled that up through the hw content. Because it was dps i didn't feel as much pressure when I had to do the story dungeons/trials or if I was doing roulettes. Then I got to 60 and unlocked gnb and have been using that to get through the stormblood msq. I did start feeling more pressure to know the dungeons bc im tanking and running at the head of the party but for the most part, I managed okay somehow without really looking up the dungeons before going into them.
Now that I'm unlocking 70+ content though, I'm getting more and more anxious about going into instances and being a Bad Tank. For me, even if I look up the boss guides on the wiki, I still won't really get it until I see the fights for myself but at that point, it's like I get it right or we wipe and that is a lot of pressure I don't like feeling. I just did a trial roulette and didn't have a problem when I had to do it during the msq, but in the roulette we wiped and someone was talking in chat about tanks not doing our job correctly and I was just really confused and honestly it kind of upset me. On the one hand, I feel like people are mostly really friendly and understanding but at the same time, it feels like there's an expectation that everyone knows the instance and all the mechanics. This is my first time playing a game with dedicated roles so I'm honestly kind of just stumbling around the game. Even when I look up guides, some of them assume that I've played games with the class role mechanic so my knowledge of other games would be transferable but that's not the case so I'm just like really confused and constantly nervous when a new dungeon or trial is introduced into the msq and now my only job at the right level is a tank. I'm trying to level up sam again but that's going pretty slowly but also I do want to learn how to tank well I just don't know where to start. I haven't even really tried healing, that is a whole other level of anxiety inducing content i'm not ready for tbh
