Did you ever think to yourself "Im having a hard time tanking and/or healing, maybe I should look up some guides to play those roles" or "I never seem to put up my buffs when everyone else does, maybe I should see what people are doing at the start of a fight/pull for [insert job]"?

This isn't a "Have you tried gitting gud?", but rather a question of when faced with difficulties or problems did you attempt to try and figure out what was going wrong with your gameplay or attempt to adjust what you are doing?
Firstly yes - in fact The Balance is probably the one reason I've gotten mostly to grips with RDM. Sadly, I still can't quite make head nor tails of their advice pertaining to Bard!

Secondly, again yes - in fact, after guides and LOTS of practice, I rarely 'die' when playing what is probably my favorite piece of content, Alzadaal's Legacy (which I know isn't the most difficult, but that's beside the point). However, again, guides can prove a lot to remember for some and I do find it difficult to recall said advice in longer content, such as Aglaia for example.
