Its not as simple as memorize and win.
DPS checks, heal checks, tank checks are secondary. you can have the best geared tank/DPS/healer, if they cant dodge for shit because of different reasons (not knowledge of the fight/lag/whatever else) you have lost, period. Gear plays a role, but its rather on the 3. place. What matters more is: 1. mechanics, 2. job knowledge/ability rotation/combo rotation after that gear ties in as 3. however mechanics make it impossible to recover in almost any case.
