In my last post, I was actually thinking of muscle memory but reaching the opposite conclusion. I believe muscle memory can lead you to learn a complicated rotation once you keep testing it in different environments.
Eventually, all you need if to feed yourself the situational information and then you will already know what to do.

I'm not saying to over reach, if you're not comfortable. It's okay to play it safe, especially if it ends up a dps loss because you let your buffs/debuffs fall off.
You shouldn't preach the opposite though. Everyone should, at least, keep the goal of performing optimally in hectic situations in mind.

Battle experience > skill >>>>>>>>>> rotation

90% of winning the fight is simply knowing the battle and paying attention. Training complicated procedures, matters a whole lot less then simply making sure a: you don't die b: you're not standing around doing nothing like an idiot.

ARR is in general is a new age "casual" type game. Meaning it's full of tricks and pitfalls instead of numbers, and math.

Getting a stupid couple of extra damage in, is much less efficient then simply saying "omg, red circle~"

While it's not wrong to "grow into the coat" like you suggest...the party really doesn't like that and it's better to "change your coat as you grow", is my endorsement.

Mnks have such a large pitfall it's really a can become a problem depending on the way you approach a battle.

Actually, its usually better for most people to try the complicated version out early, as it makes it easier for them to learn it, as opposed to trying to un-learn the easy way(which is much harder to do), if you clearly arent good at it and you're doing something tough, then yes, maybe you should take it easy.

However, i do everything I have to to perform optimally in all fights, i have the target bar in the center of the screen so i can watch my timers without looking away from the fights, i NEVER skip my dots in a battle unless its flimsy trash mobs or the boss will go invul within 10 seconds(and honestly, fracture is probably worth it anyway), i feel bored and useless if im just sitting there doing the boring 1-2-3 rotation, i dont know how you can even stand it.

It's makes a clean battle. No sudden drop offs. After enough times, I slowly add to it, but all it takes is one stupidity to get you killed. That's how end game is. mistake ->kill

It actually increased my over all dps, by not getting fancy even after I know the battle inside out. You can't control your team most of the time.
