    A "Cover it All" playlist

    I noticed that, going through various site that most help provided to new player Video-Wise always was quite lengthy, assumed certain knowledge or tried to explain too much at once. I know that this can make it quite hard to understand everything explained.

    Noticing that gap, I decided to work on a series that build knowledge from the ground up for anyone wishing to raid and generally learn more about the game. I have a background in both psychology and teaching and many years of raiding (Diabolos, Serah Neige) See it a bit like the "Crash-Course" video that exist for non-gaming subjects. Basically Trying to keep each video as short as possible and touching a singular subject (also make it easier to update the playlist later on)

    Feedback, both form new and veteran player is always a plus, as it help tune the content in the future to make it more useful to everyone. I want it to be as good as possible so no one is left wondering how anything work or confused about what people are telling them.

    Any additional ideas regarding what subject to tackle in the future is also greatly appreciated.

    Here's the Full playlist link:
