My tank alt played GLD up to 26, and I stopped because... well, it was boring.
And AV... -shudder- I finally tanked it for the first time with said tank alt. No wipes, although the only reason we didn't wipe on Coincounter (I missed a stun attempt at a bad moment...) was that the two DPS were, well awesome (and friends of mine, so I didn't have to pug the thing) and managed to take him down from about 13% after I and the healer got smacked.
I'll add to the vent an admission, which will probably make me a target for others' vents: I'm glad my main is ranged DPS, because that made it a lot easier to learn these instances that I am gradually having to tank.
And a moment of Captain Obvious - FFXIV is very, very cruel to tanks in terms of learning curve. In TOR, I could tank like a bawss on my Bounty Hunter and Juggernaut, never had a problem, but tanking in FFXIV... scares me, in comparison. I have nothing but respect for good tanks in this game...
...unless you're an arrogant arse about it, and if so, go get stuffed with a morbul and cactaur suppository.
