    I myself will second this, because there are times I just completely forget about buttons, or I end up pausing for a second or two trying to find something, like Synastry (at the end of that boss fight, IIRC it took me nearly 2 seconds to remember where it was, find it on the bar, and then hit the key combo to activate it).

    I've gotten Draw/Spread and Undraw working mostly, the main heal buttons down pretty good... starting to use Lightspeed more often without having to think about it, eventually end up adding in Synastry and Dilation too.

    Right now, you're ignoring buffs that you don't need in order to focus on the more critical parts of your job. This is perfectly normal!

    Using Synastry and Time Dilation each time you cast Aspected Benefic will teach you to stop ignoring them by making them rote. Using Time Dilation with your cards right now isn't good for memorization because card draws are inconsistent.

    When do you stream? I'd be willing to sit in and watch. All I'm doing right now is leveling SCH.

    Yeah, that's how I kinda looked at it! As long as I do my primary job first lol.

    But I do want to actually do better too!

    That is... rather inconsistent, depending on my work schedule, and other factors. I will try, though, to do a few dungeon runs around noon-ish EST when I can, though sometimes I just throw in runs other times too! Uh. Hmm. I mean I can try and drop a message in here ahead of time or something but I dunno, it'd require you to actually see it! lol.

    EDIT: Unless you were interested in something like a discord or steam or something but the lack of a PM system makes that somewhat difficult without everybody else seeing it!
