  • After a few weeks I start looking for video's especially if I know it's being cleared faster / more smoothly than I am / my group is.
  • If there are parts of the fight I'm not really sure about / especially if a Video mentions a mechanic that I actually don't know about, then I pull up a written guide and give it a read simultaneously. Watch video, see new mechanic, press pause, read, rewind, rewatch, watch what the party is doing. (EG, if BRD pov, I might look at his party list and take note of what CD's a tank pops, and then see how much dmg the tank took)
I've grown away from watching Strat Video's, and more to clear video's, but closely analyzing the fight at the same time.

That being said, this is all coming from he guy whose been clearing T9 for what, 3 months now, and has never survived an entire fight (just as a lowly OT ta boot)

Since the first time we got to DB stage in T9, we cleared it. I get minimal practice time on that phase, that's m excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Last week, I died @2% b/c I assumed that I wanted to run the opposite direction from the first person with DB, I got 2nd DB marker . . . and I was wrong. Since My Group is putting down waypoints for me I have no real excuse, other than I go too comfortable and haven't reall learned the DB positioning properly as I'm trying to DPS as my WAR as much as possible.
