How do you remember every instance?

[ExKage]

Some of them just become muscle memory or other times there's really only one or two things that need to be remembered. I occasionally can never remember what voice or purple/blue is in/out for Cutter's Cry.

Sometimes it is hard to just list mechanics though but when/if it comes up I usually say something like "X Y Z are the mechanics. Don't remember if I missed any?" and someone else in the party will chime in. I have never had issues with someone saying they're new or forgot something. It's always when people not mention something and then things fall apart that it becomes "a thing."

most of that content is so easy now, because everyone has highest lv/stats for the content, so most of the time you can skip mechanics
Like Diablos fight, when it was new, you had to do memory game with the doors, and avoid his AOE, now you can just burn him down before he casts it. the only thing you need to think about, is to stun his sleep.
but i might not remember the full fights on top of my head, but as soon as i see a mechanic, i'm like, right, i remember, and react,

What are you even talking about? Not doing DF, because you could potentially screw up? It's a game. Try to just have fun and not deliberately kill your party. There. Problem solved.

I'm sorry. Didn't mean to sound rude. It's just that the elitism (being hostile to others because the play the game without watching everything on YouTube first or whatever) needs to stop, along with people like us being "too scared" to do content.

Been in the same noat, really, but I don't care anymore. Don't get me wrong. I practice my rotations (to a degree), I apologise if I screw up, but I won't let other people take the fun away from me. And you shouldn't, either. Just play the game and have fun.

I've been very skittish about doing new content because of an elitist remark directed at me all the way back at the release of Syrcus Tower. I got insulted and kicked because I didn't know how to do Scylla by the second day and no one would explain. I suppose there was also the time the party attacked me for not knowing Titan Story Mode because they wouldn't explain anything despite me being new.

Honestly, I just need to suck it up and go. I still haven't done A2 or Sophia yet, so you know what? SCREW IT I'M DOING IT ALL TODAY.

After doing those dungeons on so many jobs - the what is coming just becomes natural to me.

Oh the Ice elementals are going to be spawning through the window here.

Oh there's a secret chest behind the wall before you get to the boss, you just need to clear the two adds.

It's all just coordination by that point on lol.
It just happens.


Psst but honestly don't be afraid to mess up. Just say oh man i forgot how this dungeon works but i'll do my best. Just sliding something like that in is good so if you go the wrong way someone can help you or not get mad. Cause you can say well i said i didn't remember sorry etc. lol

Ohh here is a story of me derping:
Yesterday I went to help a friend clear Sophia Normal. And I was like ahh it's gonna be easy cause I farm Ex but GEEZ. Everything was so backwards that I died so much. The other healer didn't say a word to me but I was so embarrassed. At the end I apologized and gave her/him a com but she told me that people also have this trouble and die. On normal too. so not to worry. But I still >.< So i know how you feel.

I just do. One run is enough to imprint the dungeon in my mind even for months without visiting it. No I don't have incredible memory skills. It just works great for games and other "not so useful things for real life" things.

Because most Boss fights can be broken down as follows:

1. Avoid AoE
2. Kill Adds
3. Kill Boss

That is the typical priority, though that can shifted around to ignoring AoE, ignoring adds, etc etc. Most added things are minor for the most part, and as others mentioned just comes down to muscle memory.

With gear you can pretty much skip adds when the boss at 10% and lower HP. I get pretty upset seeing people switch off the boss when you can kill him before the next add wave ><.

Condition 1: adds have more HP than boss - kill boss
Condition 2: boss has more HP or HP regen via add: kill adds
Condition 3: add brings KO mechanic: KILL IT NOW!!
