People don’t realize how easy it is to get into raiding in this game

I'd say this extends even to progging. I really do not mesh with "Watch a vid beforehand/while progging"-method. I have to actually DO the stuff to learn, and I have to do it continuously with only tiny breaks in-between should party mate even need it.

I'm the same. I can't just watch a guide and then do it right off the bat, I need to actually do the mechanics and get used to it for myself. I'll still skim the guides to see what's coming but sitting around in a party waiting to pull for 5 minutes while everyone listens to someone over-explain a mechanic on YouTube is tedious. Good time for a smoke break though. xD

I actually miss Dragon Sight myself, and I hate that it got the axe instead of being properly reworked, especially because the whole eye thing ties very strongly into FFXIV dragon lore and the importance of eyes to them, as well as the role of the Azure Dragoon, a title that the WoL received at one point even if it is now defunct, they should've made it work like Closed Position where you simply pick the target for your buff ahead of time, they could gain a "Closed Left Eye" buff that switches into a "Open Left Eye" when the buff is active, and returns to "closed" state after.

I said to anyone who would listen when the DRG rework was announced that Dragon Sight should become the melee version of Closed Position/Dance Partner. DRG has the built-in dmg buff from Disembowel/Power Surge that could be shared, it's got your Lance Charge that could double up as the Standard Finish/Technical Finish equivalent, maybe do something with Life Surge charges being used to give short 3s dmg buffs to your partner. And then when the dragon eyes are open and you're popping your big attacks that I'm not even going to attempt to spell, your partner gets some buff as well. The only thing I hated about Dragon Sight was the fact it had to be targeted and I dealt with that by using a macro and hoping for the best most of the time and that's the part I'm glad to see the back of... But for things on my DRG wishlist, Dragon Sight becoming Dance Partner was pretty much #1. (Ironic that I'd complain about homogenisation and then dream of DRG getting a DNC ability, but I'm aware of it and that makes it alright.)
