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?

This is the same as what I've copied to the lower two button bars, in a left-top-bottom-right order.

Thank you so much for the images. So is the lower hot bar to identify when cooldowns are complete?

Yep, that's the idea. I haven't had it set up for a long while, so I don't really know how well it works and if I should just have the OGCD stuff showing.

I used to have a pretty similar thing off to the side, but it was kind of … annoying for how I had to use my eyes, and cluttered up the screen more.
