It's still the same thing, though. As I said, you always memorize what can happen and how to respond. Just as in the case of Ravana - you memorize what "The seeing X" means and then go to the side you can DPS on. That's plain memorization. You can also memorize that the free side is the one you can attack from and just stand there like a dummy when you see the cast and move to the free side before resuming.

It's not much different. It's like learning vocabularies: In both cases, you're going to learn the word and the meaning. One test asks random vocabs of you and you have 5 second to answer with the right meaning, the other asks for the meaning of the vocabs in a given order.
