I learned how to play all my classes in FFXI leveling up in exp parties, I only learned how to tab bio/aero and spam stone leveling SCH and WHM in FF14. I learned what every single ability did, how to use it, how much damage it did, how much enmity it generated, how it skillchained, what were effective combos, how to manage my mp, what stats were good for my class, what food was good for my class, how every other class worked in a party set up besides my own, what was my best way of healing or dealing damage, etc. In FF14 I learned that bio and aero are good for tagging enemies quickly and Blizzard2/BLM is the best for tagging mobs and gaining exp in fates.
