Watching a video is the first step. Then you experience the fight for yourself and hopefully things click bit by bit. I wouldn't mind sitting through 1 hour in a trial with someone trying to make sense of a guide they watched/read because at least they made an effort. And another thing is that what people usually explain to you in chat is most likely the exact same info that a video or a written guide (if that's what you prefer) gives. It won't be anything innovative. I may say watch a video most of the time, but what I mean is to know the fight beforehand either by watching a video or reading a guide. Not gonna lie, since videos are the most common ones used, I forget that written guides even exist ^^; Also, I've personally never tanked any of the trials or high-end duties, so even as a mentor, I can't be of much help there. I may know a handful of tank mechanics, and I do know most of the tankbusters since I heal and I play a support class (BRD), but I can safely say I don't know when there are tank swaps. I don't think a mentor is required to know absolutely everything about the game and all its encounters. This is not a job. But if a tank at least watches/reads a guide, they'll come prepared with an info that I can't supply them with and that would spare the party a lot of pain.
Same here. I don't wanna hold anyone back, and I don't wanna put unnecessary pressure on myself.
