Watching videos don't always work for everyone. I cannot keep focus while watching videos and have a hard time understanding compared to just doing it. As well tutorials such as Mr happy's. He talks to much do by time I'm on P3 or 4 I forgot p1 and 2.

I'd like to recommend Essorance's TLDR videos and MTQcapture's videos (comes with written boss ability names I think). They are only 2-4 minutes long and describe everything that goes on in the fight very briefly without random chatter, giving a good overview of the fight for every role. Because the videos are so short you can watch them twice during the queue time. First time to get used to spell animations, main mechanics and markers, and second to focus on what your role has to pay attention to during the whole fight.

I get where you're coming from though. I counted at least 17 different mechanics in A8 and that's on the brink of how many things I can remember after being told once. That developers are focusing more on mechanics and less on dps checks is very enjoyable imo but a lot of people still have the expectation that it's easy to memorize an entire fight just by seeing/reading it once. Maybe some people get it perfect the first time but for me remembering 17 mechanics and responses to them, positioning, boss spell names and when to use cooldowns is not a trivial task and requires trying it out in game. If the number of mechanics was cut in half (like A2 for example) it would be a different story.
