I know this may come as odd but I have a very hard time playing as a DPS. I've been FFXIV for almost 4 years now and have been tanking my whole career. I've gotten RDM to 70 and I really enjoy it but man, am I finding it tough. Not so much in the mechanics but in just finding that balance between cranking out DPS, reacting and watching fight mechanics. It gets overwhelming for me having to monitor the White/Black Gauge, watch my positioning and watch which attacks the boss may be getting ready to unleash.

Same thing goes with MCH and DRG (which I leveled to 67 and 70 respectively) who has a crap-ton of cooldowns to monitor all while watching out for battle mechanics and enemy AoEs. Sometimes I find myself running around dodging moreseo than actually doing anything...

Any tips on how to get better? RDM will probably be my main DPS, btw.
