I've run every required dungeon, trial, and raid from ARR through Stormblood as a tank. Played Dragoon until I unlocked Dark Knight and have stuck with Dark Knight from that point on. To anyone worried about tanking as a newbie: But really, in those dungeons, any encounter you survived means you're a good Tank. Unfortunately ARR dungeons (and most of Leveling dungeons) are the highest barrier for me because the dungeon mechanics are weird (using Return in Haukke? Leading a bomb to explode on a slime in Copperbell?) and you can feel responsible for leading the party astray for forgetting a dungeon mechanic. Veteran tanks tend to pull 2-3 packs of enemies but even I (lvl 54 Paladin) tend only to pull just 1 or 2. From my understanding the actual job of Tank isn't to lead a party but just be there to take hits, as long as you're there to be enemy target you're doing a good job. Most people will not respond anything but they will mostly understand your situation and help by showing the way in a dungeon but stopping to let you pull enemies. Prepare a Macro that says something like "It's my first time Tanking here" or "I'm training to be a Tank" and say it when you begin a dungeon. As someone else who dreads the idea of Tanking (you can see my posts above), watched countless video tips on tanking but very enticed to its fashion (lol) I feel like I can share a bit about this.
