I don't entirely agree with this. The msq doesn't teach you your rotation, or how to be good at your job, but it teaches you how certain mechanics and telegraph work. Almost every mechanic in the first two fights (the only ones OP did) is used earlier and more leniently in the msq. Towers, stack markers, aoe patterns that you have to memorize, half room cleaves, line aoes rotating through the boss, it's all the same stuff repackaged in a new way. Hell, the donut/line cleave aoes that the second boss does are straight out of barbaricia. The only actually new mechanic I can think of is the launch the first boss does. Since there's no dps check in these fights, I would say 10 years of msq does a more than adequate job training players for them
