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?

    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!
