About: Dungeon "anxiety", Being afraid of failing or getting back into the game

[Xbob42]

How can he be so relaxed?

Probably because it's only a video game! If you fail, no one really dies, no one loses access to the game. Maybe someone gets slightly irritated, but probably not. Just a quick "Hey, haven't played in a long time, re-learning my class" can go a long way.

But!

Having a bit of confidence first is a good thing.

So I recommend finding a training dummy, and just practicing your rotations against it. Or even Palace of the Dead, which is super easy so it's a great place to get practice in. (Try it solo, and start at level 1, so you can slowly learn the class ability by ability!)

Red Mage is a fairly simple ranged DPS class, so I don't foresee you having too much trouble. If you're really struggling, you can check out a brief Youtube guide on the ideal way to play the class, but I think with a little practice you'll figure it out no problem.

You know, I always think the same. But I can also understand when people want a player that does not die at every friggin move a boss does. Imagine me, let's say, in Qarn (this was the first dungeon I struggled with in 2013^^) when you die 3x there, 2x there, at the boss, at the crocodiles... I mean, who would enjoy that? Not me for sure. And my group is maybe getting wiped, too.

Palace of the Dead is new to me. I gotta read more into that.

Thanks Mr. Smith.
