    Unfortunately, the dev team has a bad habit of putting similar color shades on top of each other. A friend of mine struggled a lot with E10S due to her poor eyesight. She simply couldn't see the black triangle marker, on top of the black tether which was attached to the black boss. A shade of purple or red to break up that color stream would have helped immensely. Likewise, P3S suffers from red on top of orange with yellow tethers.

    To be quite honest, I struggle with every post-Heavensward raid simply because my eyesight is terrible. Now that I'm getting older, my eyes can either be corrected to nearsightedness or farsightedness with no good setting in between. For that reason, I miss all kinds of tells. The only way I ever raid successfully these days is with my 22 year old daughter watching over my shoulder and pointing out all the crap that I'm missing. I still can't see half the mechanics she calls out. Watching guides helps a little because they point out exactly what I should be looking out for, and then I can correlate the blurs in the background to the expected mechanic. Sometimes the mechanics are downright counterintuitive. The giant robot rearing his left arm back for a punch is blatantly obvious, but what do I do when his eyes go red and all his guns start flashing in a seemingly random fashion? Usually I just follow the crowd in those scenarios, but often that just means I'm left at the top of a pile of dead players who also had no idea what to do.
