Not looking for easy street..

I've been watching the fight, trying to keep from dying..now I have to read the fight too! Yikes

hehe yeah I have enough problems just staying alive watching where I am moving. Having to read avatar crap like, "Stay close!" or "We must protect so and so", is irritating. Most times I don't see it and then there's an issue called DEATH because I do not know the skills to play this Thancred guy lol. I have always managed to get through the MSQ, I just hate forced fighting. I stopped doing most dungeons, trials, etc, long ago, not my thing and lots of other busy work in game to keep me happy.

All his overpowered skills tell you what they do on the tooltips when you mouseover them.

Ok, this response isnt directed at you Besame - im just using your quote to help make my point. Thancred has 5 abilities, and if you wanted you could completely ignore 3 of them and still win. Defense boost? Good to use, but dodging the avoidable attacks and keeping good healing will get you through the roomwides. Offense boost? Good to use, but just keeping up your 1, 1, 1 combo will get you to the end well before the timer runs out. Gap closer? Good to use(good as an extra oGCD attack, good to get close to continue the offensive, good for getting into range to avoid donut attack), but just staying at medium range means you will have time to get close when needed and eating one or two avoidable attacks isnt fatal you just need to avoid most of them.

Nobody knows Thancred's skills until they get to that fight. He doesn't play like a gunbreaker - everyone equally has to stop and read what the attacks do before commencing the fight. Learning what they do is part of learning how to clear the fight.

It's like starting a new game entirely and having to relearn the button commands. Once upon a time you had to go through this for your main job here, too.
