Plenty of good tips in this thread for new and old players.

I played in 1.0 and got a few jobs up to mid-30's or so, MNK was my first to 50 in ARR and was delighted. Embarrassingly however I only learned that the word flank does not mean from behind approx 2 months ago lol. I had been doing all of my rotations from the rear of the mobs all this time, no wonder my DPS was so low. It also took me a while to understand the different forms of monk, spamming arm of the destroyer on ADS in t1, not understanding why it didn't proc. Also using dragon kick as a combo opener wondering why it didn't debuff the mobs.

It's a really good idea to learn your job properly!

Also a request (maybe because i am lazy but it's kinda confusing in the config menus) I play with an xbox controller on the PC and i want to be able to cycle through party members with up and down on the d-pad for my party members and left and right for enemies. What is the config for this? I can only find it with using the shoulder buttons as well but this is akward to use
