Let me put your mind at ease, Elladie.

People like yourself are the ones I have absolute patience for. BECAUSE you're trying. I was completely new to MMOs when I started this; I pushed myself to become good, and once there, become better. And while I did it without parsers, I'd imagine being able to see the numerical results of my efforts would've only gotten me where I wanted to be much quicker and more efficiently. But I would be the last person to dump on someone learning a different job (and I only FINALLY leveled BLM in 2.5. Until then, I didn't get it either, lol.)

One last note: Do NOT give up, especially based on what someone else says. If you're not good now, keep trying, keep leveling, and keep practicing. I tell people all the time, if you by chance catch me at a training dummy, I'm not screwing around. I'm actually practicing and refining what I know. Hitting 60/ilvl210 or whatever is nothing but a foundation to build upon. Build YOURSELF up.
