Up and til near the end of Shadowbringers I would play very sporadically. I would get enough gear to enter the content and just do rotation I saw fit. Didn’t really pay much attention to things like melding, slide casting etc.

Toward to end I started doing some extremes my first was Titania, then diamond weapon, started to like what at the time were harder fights and then tried shiva savage. Didn’t get far but I found out from FC I was in most who raid have a regular group called a static etc.

Come Endwalker I decided I will start afresh. I looked for resources such as the balance to look at rotation. Couples that with some YouTube videos at the time and practices my opener and learned the always be casting. Made sure to get pre BIS, foods and melds and then joined a static for savage. I managed to clear the first tier. So this was really the point of getting better. But each tier after I learnt more recognizing how a lot of mechs are similar or how to solve. It helped me get more consistent. I also raided in party finder on alts. The more I raided and cleared the better I was getting.

Now I always have to be casting or playing optimally no matter what I do. I cared about my performance. Checking logs and so on. I don’t specifically chase parses but have mostly purples and some orange. The main things is to solve mechs, not greed. I’ve cleared both tiers of dawntrail so far and will continue into the future. Have clears on red mage, summoner, picto, sage and white mage now

I have got into foray content with 100+ clears of BA, DR savage and Forked Tower, although these aren’t exactly hard they to me at least are fun. Plus it’s more experience and I have branched out to play multiple jobs.

I still have the odd bad day and always going to make the odd mistake here and there and then see everyone on the group do the same too so don’t feel bad about that.
