A Crazy Solution To The Growing Problems of Inadequate Preparation For Duties.

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

No you dont, you can get by in this game by reacting to mechanics as they happen. All you need is understanding on how the combat works. And once you understand that, you should be able to play any job at least moderately effectively by reading tooltips and fitting the pieces together.

Can't say I agree with that assessment. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I avoid playing the dps classes in group content because I can't perform well with them nor is it fun to try because the rotations at 60 are just too complex for me. I don't have the physical dexterity nor the mental acumen to keep track of all the different buttons and when to press them. I just can't handle the finger gymnastics. SE seems to realize this is an issue. The combat revamp in SB will hopefully make dps classes a bit less hectic to play and perform decently with. Following fight mechanics won't make dps rotations any less complex. Even if you perform all the mechanics correctly, just "reading tooltips" won't make you capable of "fitting the pieces together" when the puzzle is a Picasso to begin with.
