I've been tanking a ton lately in FFXIV and it's very fun. Got over my tankxiety by simply no longer giving a shit what people think about my skill level as a player and it somehow caused me to be a better tank. "Fuck it, we ball," and such.

Having a chronic illness is like playing tank in this MMO we call life

You might be doing okay now but you ARE going to get hurt

And while you can learn ways to mitigate the damage, at some point you're going to need a healer

Me in vc: Man i never get yellow enmity. I know Red Mage trades some damage for utility but just once i wanna be second on the enmity list under the tank 60 seconds later: //raidwide takes out main tank and two other dps Me: //has aggro

Unless you're healer tank, then it becomes a challenge. IM KEEPING YOU ALIVE IN HONOR OF THE HEALER!!!! Q^Q

(happened to me once during Expert Roulette on Stigma Dreamscape's second boss where the healer died so it was just me, the PLD, and the DPS. It was fun smacking the boss and every so often casting clemency on a DPS. That actually worked, hahaha)
