I think once I get more familiar with the game I'll give one of the tank classes a try tho. The edgelord in me wants to play as a Dark Knight ngl.

as a dark knight lover, i highly recommend it, especially for someone that hasn't tanked before! and the job quests... chefs kiss

also, echoing what mage said - ffxiv is my first mmo too. i wasn't confident with the idea of tanking but dark knight called to me, so i ended up picking it up myself! my advice is to let people know you're new to tanking, stick to low level dungeons until you feel confident tanking at that level, make sure you read your tooltips, only pull what you're comfortable with, etc. tanking is actually pretty simple once you get into it, but it IS incredibly nerve wracking, so i totally understand you. even with all lv 80 tanks, i still get nervous tanking. but you've got this 😤 don't let your dreams be memes

red mage bias here as it's my main class, but the sword pirate wizard aesthetic is the coolest. it's also a really easy class to learn with a very simple rotation. here's one of the rapiers in action, totally not an excuse to show off my wol.

fellow red mage main, i tip my hat to u
here's my favourite red mage rapier so i can also show off my wol-- (excuse the weird framing i wanted to show off the crystal too) i love this rapier so much and i just can't use anything else, and if i do, i always go back to murgleis. it reminds me of genesis rhapsodos's sword from crisis core, so i'm just... biased... LMAO

my confession:
i got a new tank glamour, the edenmete fending coat, and i love it so much and it's making me want to actually tank so i can look at it more GJDFKG i'm just so happy with this coat ok 😭 i've been wanting a lightly armoured fending coat for a long time now and when i saw this i fell in love and i had to get it asap
(actually follow up confession, but the new idle cpose for hands on hips... GOD it's so good. thank u, devs... thank u)
