Okay, so after enjoying and implementing the feedback from my last post about beginner tanking, I’ve dinged 50 on WAR and PLD (I like WAR better) and gotten a lot of practice reps in on dungeons 45 and under. I still haven’t tanked anything my level yet, but the higher level the content the more I actually enjoyed it. Having more tools available makes it more fun.
So all this said, the one thing I still struggle with is getting use to big pulls (I’ll pull 2-3 groups, but wall to wall just doesn’t feel right yet) and getting turned around on certain maps. Up til this point I’ve played like 2+ years as DD (broken up over various subscriptions the past 6 or so years) and just followed the tank so I never really learned the layouts of some maps. Higher level content actually seems more straightforward but when doing roulettes and I get something like Hauke Manor I’m embarrassed to be so lost sometimes.
Beyond that, how do you transition to 8 man content? As far as I can tell, you can learn to tank dungeons just by doing it and as you grow in level the dungeons get tougher. How do you learn to tank swap and stuff like that when nothing is made for you to practice on? It’s basically queue for a trial and then tell them, surprise, I have no idea how to tank swap this with you, or... have some friends?
