You certainly don't need to know the pattern, just the mechanics it has and how to react, the key early stage how is knowing when meteor + lunar is coming that's positioning and reflex is required. I'm at the learning stage atm the only thing I'm finding annoying is people that join in my of who still struggle during phase 1 e end when I'm popping macros left right and centre each attack, tonight I'll be doing more practice hopefully phase 3 as 2 and 1 I have nailed knowing what every job should be doing

I really had 0 interest in coil till I first attempted T5, but after that I just had to go back. Its like learning your job again completely and finding out how to truly maximum DPS whilst keeping a very close eye of party if they are screwing up. Take T6 sun as an example that one person who runs at the whole party.....
