Is a static really necessary to move forward?

I do worry about being dead weight as I'm learning mechanics. I've watched videos of the newest EX trial and E5S, but I'm really hesitant to encumber any group I join with my broken rotation as I try to move around and not drop any GCDs.
a static isnt necessary but it helps deal with the headache of pf, it all depends on your tolerance of peoples buuuuuuuullllshiiiiiitt. Like for example people will come without having ever done the fight in clear parties , people will come without any food , people will come without knowing how their job works etc etc. It all adds up so people start leave or say their piece of mind, its not like everyone becomes a toxic drunkard day one, unlike the forums would have you think.

As for keeping up your dps rotation. yes it becomes easier with repetition. Think of the fights like a dance you simply go through the same notions every time and all you need to do is find your more optimal ones, The melee problems will mostly be relieved since almost every strat done is keeping melee uptime in mind . I suggest go to the balance theyll tell you openers and stuff , theyre all friendly peeps and they can help you polish every nook and cranny of your encounter rotation. Also dont be disheartened if you fck up not everyone became master day 1, now go and make musosai proud <3
