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?

Thanks arjache,
I do have the boss cast bar sitting at 120% right above the bard special skill (forget what it’s called, the musical notes 🤣). Posted a picture in the other comment. Also have it that the effects on the enemy are just mine own so I can keep up with the counter of poison arrow and etc. I might move that closer to the boss cast bar for easier viewing if possible
I haven’t gotten focus targeting figured out on controller yet. I need to play with it, is it worth when not playing a healer?
Looks good to me!
On controller you just target the boss, press the context menu button (it’s the square button on PlayStation controllers, like how you open your map), and select Focus Target.
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.
Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and started practicing more with the focus targeting. Also enlarged the target action/spell effects to show me what my poison timers are. Has helped!
