I still have performance anxiety

>.>

What do you have leveled? Seriously, as healer, you pretty much will only have to heal the tank. As tank, just mark the target you want people to kill, and move it as one mob dies. Tell your DPS to focus on one at a time. As DPS, just assist the tank. If you're on Ultros, I'll be happy to run it with you. I have a tank and healing class above 15.

I think he's on a JP server. But for what it's worth, I have a Conjurer over 15. :P

That said, those early dungeons are specifically designed with the idea of teaching you basic mechanisms. You don't need to be anxious about them, because they're designed for you to not have to be doing much of anything to win.

Roll a dps, just sort of follow after your tank. Attack whatever he/she is attacking. You're good.

No need to worry about not pulling your weight or anything like that; these aren't heroic dungeons. They're actually less difficult than a lot of the Fates I've been in (largely because you actually have someone tanking/healing, but still).

[EDIT]

It's probably worth noting that I say this as someone who used to get performance anxiety back in the earlier days when I played WoW.

But to be clear - the chances of you wiping on this content are nearly nothing. And short of running WAY ahead of the pack you're fighting, you can't seriously mess up.

You're in LL, so you're either a tank or a DPS. If you're an Arcanist, take your pet off auto-cast and then just calmly DPS. You don't need to go all out or stress about it; it's not that kind of content. If you're a tank, bind a mark to a button you can hit, tell your party to focus fire on that target, and then just occasionally throw some attacks onto the other mobs to cover the healer enmity generation.

And if a DPS or the healer takes threat, no biggy. The mobs don't do much damage.

Really, just treat the other players like they're NPCs. It's that sort of content.

It's probably for the best that optional fights are harder. When I ended up in the pit to face Ifrit, all I could think was REALLY? Fight Ifrit or get stuck here?

Mostly because I was laughably undergeared, not having done a non-story quest in 5 levels or so. Had I been a tank or DPS, I still would have felt bad.

But at that difficulty level, it's not something to stress about. The Sahagin boss guy from the pirate dungeon was harder than Ifrit, for the most part. Though phase 2 of Ifrit was super stressful on my second party through it (DCed after we won on first), since people weren't avoiding AoE and they were already at half life from the unavoidable AoE.

Though it also made me feel badass as a healer.

Don't get me wrong, we've still wiped on the Stone Vigil fights. My first run, we wiped 3x on the second boss, and 2x on the last one, but their mechanics all boil down to "avoid the ****".

There were so many people in the pit when I ended up in there that it was annoying just to see where we were.

Yeah I am on Durandal. I have every job over the level of the dungeon except archer and marauder. I was thinking I would go CON because I don't want to wait forever in the DPS line and I'd rather run the dungeon before I tank it. I was just worried cause targeting for healing seems pretty dodgy. Thanks for the encouragement, I just hate sucking -.-

I appreciate that you guys would group up with me, that's sweet.

Also it doesn't really matter, but I am a she.

And on the PS3, your up and down keys automatically move through the party list, making it pretty easy.

Huh, I forgot it was 5 PM PST, not EST. Maybe I will log on, then. I just walked in from work 10 or so minutes ago.

1017, 1017, 1017, 1017, etc.

Not worth it for a max of 1.5 hours of play.

I figured that with the maintenance starting in a little over an hour that I might actually get to log in today for a bit. Nope, I still can't even get on the damn queue.

I've got a good 15 or so games I've never even booted up, and I'm just sitting here not knowing what to do.

I'm starting Power 90 with a friend on Monday. Should be good stuff. I'm too out of shape to go through P90X. I'd probably blow out a knee.
