I had two bouts of good luck today.
First, I did the worst guildhest this afternoon: the one where each of the enemies has to die roughly simultaneously. In the past, I've sat there as groups try it for 20, 30, 40 minutes. Just, on and on forever, no hope in sight. I got a PUG and they know what to do. We do it one shot, no enemies come back up.
Tonight, I ran the Svara FATE series. We don't have a big party; we manage to get the first two down, but then we all collectively realize we don't have a tank. I stare at it for a second, then I rush Svara... as a ninja. And I tank her, as ninja, dodging the breath and (after someone helpfully suggested it) drag her across the bridge, and the makeshift raid kills her while a heroic Scholar or Astrologian (honestly, not sure which) keeps me alive.
The best part: it's the first time I've ever tanked in FFXIV.
