Hmm. I'd say try it a little bit as a tank, see if you like it! From the looks of it, it's really, really fun, and it's the only tank class I'll be seriously playing haha. Otherwise I agree with the others, FATE grinding works if you want to keep to having your IC class be your OOC class as well. Good luck! 
"Low-Effort Posting"Â is a silly rule, so it looks like time for me to depart FFXIV-roleplayers.com! I have no interest in a site turning to elitism to get their moderators to moderate.
