    What helps is keeping an eye on the bosses cast bar. This will give you a heads up on what's coming so you know how to react. With the camera zoomed out to the max this should make it doable if you keep the camara facing forwards. For marx smash if he's punching with his right go left, punching with left go right. If he holds both arms straight up stand in the middle of the front section. If he holds them both spread out stand at the sides of the back section. The only time you need to watch the sides is for Marx Activation. Hope that helps.

    Oh and for energy barrage get out of the middle and prepare to get to the circles when he stops firing.

    I already focus target out of habit after so many years of healing. That doesn't address camera issues throughout the game.

    There are definately some bad camera situations. This just doesn't seem to be one of them to me. With the camara zoomed out I can see absolutely everything in front. Only having to turn it for Marx Activation.

    A lot of the raid bosses and a couple of dungeons make me pull my camera all the way back to a point my character is tiny. It feels more like a Diablo-like game that way than an MMO. I don't think you can have an array of mechanics any other way though.

    I usually just stare at the enemy list instead of the boss now. I still pan out to see mechanics.
