FFXIV: Facing Tankiety and Healing Fears
Posted on August 30, 2026 by Aywren
In a previous video, I talked about the things that cause MMO players social anxiety. Turns out that playing tank and healer roles is a big fear trigger for a lot of folks playing FFXIV.
I spent some time gathering some quick tips and info on tanking and healing that can set you up to practice and become more comfortable with the jobs on your own. You can then take that experience, hopefully with the help of trusted friends, into a group setting to work on overcoming tankiety and healing fears.
Not only that, but in this video’s comments, you’ll find a slew of information from practiced tanks and healers who provide additional tips to try out. I was genuinely surprised at just how many folks were ready to speak up about how to handle job anxiety in group settings, and what you can do to improve your gaming skills.
Truly a wealth of knowledge and a place to ask questions if you have any!
If you’ve wanted to give one of these “scary” jobs a try, or if you’re a pro tank or healer in FFXIV who doesn’t mind giving advice, this video is for you!
