To my fellow players, how do you handle raids with tons of activity? I’m struggling with keeping up with the on-screen action and not over focusing on the casting bar and timers. Does it just take time to figure out the cadence of the actions?

It’s helpful on other jobs too. If you’re targeting adds in a fight, for example. I’d say it’s especially helpful for tanks, SMN, and RDM. As RDM I’m often helping to raise people and not targeting the boss.

And on controller you can use soft-targeting if you need to target your team. Up/down on the D-pad but don't press select, just use the ability, and you'll automatically be on your previous target afterwards.
