high in HP and trained in defense, a tank serves as the party's shield.
Skilled at keeping a foe's attention and bearing the brunt of enemy
attacks. I'm writing this guide in hopes to try to help new players
acclimate to tanking in FFXIV.
Tanking in the world of Final
Fantasy XIV is rewarding and really easy, however, many people shy away
from it because there is a stigma that it can be overwhelming. here is a
video help teach you about the different tanks, and help introduce you
to some starting tips and tricks to help make you a great tank.
Generally speaking, mitigating tankbusters takes priority over
mitigating auto-attacks and unavoidable AoE damage simply because most
tankbusters will outright kill you if you don't mitigate them. But that
isn't to say you shouldn't mitigate autos and raidwides, they can be
just as dangerous and know one knows this better than your healers.
Communicate with them to find out where areas of high pressure are and
try to have a cooldown to cover those areas.
Some general tips:
Plan out your cooldown usage.
Nothing
should be reactionary at this level of play. Nor should anything be
held onto in case of an emergency. It helps to look up the timeline of a
given fight to see where the damage happens. I personally make a
spreadsheet for each fight and share it with my team so we can
coordinate mitigation tools.
It's common for new tanks to treat their invulnerability cooldown as a panic button.
Don't
do that. Invulns are especially good for soaking heavy tankbusters
since they free up your damage reduction cooldowns to be used elsewhere.
