    Best Guides to learn content

    So looking to do some primals and learn some savage and maybe join or make a pug and I was wondering if I can get any recommendations on people who make great guides to learn mechanics. Either videos or text guides and anyone who make pictures would be great! I would like to have more than one source because what might not be covered in one would be covered in another or have different tactics that are easier for me to follow.

    I already know of and use MTQcapture and Mrhappy, so any others who make guides that would be helpful. Would be awesome! Oh and if there's already a thread like this posted a link would be much appreciated and I apologize for not seeing it.

    ::EDIT:: Err I guess I should have named it what are the best guides to learn content? Don't want the thread to be misleading... SORRY!

    Xeno's guides are another option. I prefer him (for savage content at least) over the other two since he has a better grasp at Savage content.

    You can find him on youtube just like the others.

    MTQ Capture is by far the best imo.

    She tells you the ins and outs of a fight with a pleasant demeanor and some fun little witticisms so I would just stick with hers for your main guide. I haven't found other guides that are nearly as appealing to listen too nor do they give anything new and I tend to avoid Happy at all costs as I find his videos and personality quite grinding.

    Xeno is good but a bit monotone but I still prefer MTQ since the info is just about the same.

    Honestly with the scripted nature of the fights there is also very little difference in guides outside personality.

    Pretty much agree. But also for Happy, I find he has more speculation than actual knowledge in a lot of his guides. That, and he talks and rambles about nothing of import. Taking 10min for a video that could be done in 4.

    Not to diss mrhappy but sometimes he hits you with a wall of just speech and goes on and on so it's hard for me to understand what's going on and MTQ Capture most of the times has diagrams with her videos so it's easier to visualize. I see Xeno's channel but doesn't seem to have guides on his youtube does he have a personal site where he posts stuff?

    MTQ has text versions of her guides, linked to from the descriptions of the video guide

    As far as Xenosys Vex goes, his guides focus on EX primals and raids. They aren't the best guides ever nor are they for everyone, but the guides are detailed enough for viewers to grasp significant mechanics and show opportunities on how parties can maximize dps if they work as a team. Teamwork abilities includes healers supplementing dps, dps players using enmity lowering/tranferring abililities, tanks using defensive abilities, etc.

    His Sophia EX guide really helps keeping the tilt mechanic simple:

    His Alexander guides were great too:

    He only has one guide out for Omega Savage afaik, but here is the link anyway (For O4S):

    Great written guides for most Dungeons. Menu on the left lets you swap to Trials. Raids are on the same page as Dungeons, near the bottom. Note, however, you may find a missing entry here or there. Not the perfect repository, but an easy and excellent starting point.
