    Is it just me...

    ...who is beginning to feel the pressure of remembering too many boss mechanics, too many boss skill names and too many phases for too much content? There are so many dungeons, trials and raids now with so many bosses and each with their own mechanics I often end up forgetting a mechanic or two across the phases of fights from time to time especially when doing DR. I do not think it is something SE can fix as people will always want new content to have new, challenging and exciting mechanics though.

    But I noticed recently I have started to generalize when describing mechanics on old content to new players simply because I am no longer sure I remember it all, so I might say something like "I think it does...", "It might do this..." or "Doesn't this boss do that...".

    Having to remember them all in case DR puts us in one we haven't been to in a while or having to do an old raid or new one and not remembering every single thing bosses do because of mechanic overload on the brain. It is one thing to only do or farm the new content which keeps those mechanics fresh in the mind but SE wants us to do all the old content to help others and I do so but remembering everything is a pain in the butt sometimes.

    I am just curious if I am the only one who has started to be overwhelmed by the amount of mechanics and phases on all content old and new which sometimes need to do in order to help others. Maybe it's time to start printing out cheat sheets for everything sorted by alphabetical boss names followed by skill names to help remember them all especially the names of each mechanic or skill being used by the boss in order to remember which skill does what on each boss or phase in every bit of dungeon, raid or trial content.
