DPS Misconceptions

[Alcyon1]

Titan XM as an example, on my Monk, all I need to do is avoid the AOE, kill the adds and kill Titan, while maintaining my stacks of GL, and as long as I can avoid stuff, the pattern isn't so important. As a Tank I need to know the pattern in order to pre-buff for Mountain Busters and when to tank switch, how to grab the adds, etc.

And against Titan HM, when we were <i70, the white mages had to know the pattern to cast an aoe heal in the middle of the tumult.
