I personally never did that. I did things the old fashioned way, and experimented and figured it out. It's the kind of thing that people seem to be averse to these days. Instead of learning fights, taking your licks and figuring out how to do better next time, I guess we can just whine at developers until they simplify things to the point that, as ADVSS put it, it's more like a quick time event than dungeon running.

And besides, there were still those unique individuals who would spec into talents that others would say are not viable for high level raiding. Was it non-viable and possibly a waste? Maybe, but by oversimplification, one is denied that chance to experiment. MMORPGs are all about growth, be it character development, the relentless hunt for higher stats, or understanding and mastery of your own abilities. If people want to have a 3 button rotation with 1 buff and an "ultimate", I would suggest they go play a MOBA instead. They can take two words from me with them on their way out the door and they are not "happy birthday"
