Before you guys get up in a tizzy, I've come with a question.

I like to consider myself a raider. Im decent at the game I'd like to think. I've completed all the raids at the moment, savage ones anyway. I've done them as a DPS historically, but I've made the switch to scholar. Recently when redoing o12s, I've realized I've hit a wall. M and F goes swimmingly, as does Hello World 1, but when I get to 2, I realize I have to look for the tank with defamations, rescue him into me, pass rot to myself and my cohealer, dodge all the 1st round of defamations, take the 2nd one, and them spot heal everyone. Sounds easy right? Until you add in the fact that Im 100% colorblind, and im not sure how to tell who has what when Im doing it via pugs. Sure Im not the absolute best but I like to think Im okay at the most with scholar. It just feels... like the odds are stacked against me.

"Just look for the icons on debuffs"

Im already having to spot heal people during Hello World 2, Dodge AOEs, and passing Rot to my cohealer. I have to also rescue the tank depending on the icon, and look at every single icon to see who gets what, assuming I get rot.

"Use the Fight Club Excuse and the 3rd Party Program that tells you who gets what?"

While that technically does solve all my problems, it just feels... terrible having to resort to that...

"Have a friend tell you?"

If Im pugging, Im alone. My friends are kinda on the more casual side, which is fine, I dont mind it, but I dont want to be handheld through raids.

"Just use your eyes man. You gotta figure it out"

I know. I just feel demoralized. People are already making fun of savage for being so easy these days, so Im not asking Squeenix to give Visual effects to who gets what. I just hate that some mechanics are relegated to specific colored debuffs and small icons on the screen. TO me, Final Omega is a Black Boss, against a Black background, with a white face and spinning white DNA Helixes. Most of his tells are black, the platform is black and things are getting harder and harder to do. Markers are generally white so I can tell where the platform edges are. On the contrary, there's M and F whose the complete opposite.

My question to you guys is,

What in the world should I do? I want to stop being gate kept by Hello World 2 as a healer, and prove to myself that I can, but it feels like so much is stacked against me :/
