I can’t remember the name of the dungeon, but the lights go out and the map doesn’t help much and if you get separated without a light… My DK could actually survive in there alone, but it was a spooky deal.

Don’t think I ever called you a liar?
Just that actually doing the stuff is how detailed learning/understanding works.
As a WoW example there is a reason guilds watch a video yet still take 400 tries to learn/achieve something they watched.
And I am saying that part does nothing for me. They watch videos and are able to retain what they just saw. Putting it into practice is another thing, but they can still retain what they just watched. I cannot. I have to do it to retain the information, which is to say that I am a kinetic learner, and its NOT garbage nor a joke.
Sounds quite debilitating I’m sorry to hear about it.
Would make a lot of things unenjoyable because you wouldn’t be able to really watch and remember movies or TV shows and that would suck 
OK so your just being a troll. Thats just sad dude.

I was thinking of all the things that would become much more difficult and suck if I wasn’t able to retain any info or remember things from a video medium.
And that would be awful.
I call that mapping. It’s also how I learn and figure things out for myself with the help of videos others have put online & thank God they do that otherwise I’d probably never go anywhere.
A lot of people learn this way, too. I think it’s the rare individual that can just get verbal instructions and run with that.
I used to be able to do that as well when younger but now I’m older so I use the mapping technique as you’ve described.

This is sad. All I did was respond to a thread about what I find difficult about dungeons, I said I am a kinetic learner, and you call me a liar tacitly by saying learning differences are garbage and a joke.
That is sad.
I have two main problems, the first is entirely my own doing because I’m not a fan of combat assist type addons screeching orders at me, so i don’t get the same warnings as others when it comes to mechanics/burn phases and such. The second is that i don’t do that many M+, sometimes i’ll do one a week for my vault, but other times i can go many weeks in a row without doing a single run, this ultimately puts me in a situation where i don’t always remember the mechanics of different places until it’s too late (in the case of potential one shot mechanics.
Of course all of the basic stuff is a non-issue, i don’t stand in bad stuff, i make sure to kill adds when they spawn etc, it’s usually the non-intuitive stuff that trips me up lol
(Please don’t derail this thread guys!)
My casual pug pain points;
-
Tree boss in Everbloom being pulled while trying to get additional flower adds. I let people know I’m grabbing them, I’m mounted and quick! But there are a few that pull boss during this, I’m locked out and the gang dies.
-
Manifested Timeways in Galakronds fall. I feel hesitant to go into a key with a caster for this bods. Too many a time I seen that big slow circle of failure and it upsets me.

One time its flawless, the next its like my brain shut down or I went blind and Im bouncing off every rock coming down lol

My original response was on the topic/notion of learning styles and had zero to do with you and your situation.
But you took it so personally.
I still see people coomonly die to them in the 22-23 range.

Bain of my existence, I don’t even try anymore. Quicker to wait for them to stop and use my speed burst than wait for a rez.
To be fair, while the 70s concept of ‘learning styles’ is outdated, (and mostly debunked in education), it’s widely accepted that we really mean learning preferences and acknowledge that they support the doing part of learning. The semantic aside felt a little unnecessary since no one in this thread suggested you’re going to truly learn a dungeon just by watching a video, (because you consider yourself a ‘visual learner’) or just by listening to instructions (‘auditory learner’).
Obviously we have to do the thing (and many times!) to truly learn it. That doesn’t make what @Mailborn said any less valid. I’m gonna be more successful when I do a new dungeon if I watch a video ahead of time (visual) vs. listening to someone explain instructions (auditory), for example, because I acknowledge that visual cues are a strength of mine. 
On topic, I hate the boulders in BRH. One hit = death at higher levels, so sometimes I think they are actually harder than the bosses, lol.

Whenever a new season starts or a new book comes out in a series, I always have to rewatch/reread to remember before I go on to the new part. I rarely remember movies/books unless I watch them several times.
If someone gives me verbal instructions for something I hardy remember anything unless I am doing it while they are telling me. I always used to say that if I was in one of those movies where I would have to remember a code to survive or something, I would be doomed.
People aren’t saying that nothing is remembered via one of the ways of learning, they are just saying that they learn stronger in a certain way. I know many people that can hear instructions or read instructions one time and go off and do that task in an amazing manner. I am not that person.

so many questions and not enough info
a social guild, running dungeons? are these normal dungeons or heroics because I cannot remember the last time anyone I know call a mythic a dungeon.
so in other words what you meant was "you run a couple of mythics per week mostly for the conversation (not while running it), and you are excited to finish a 14 on time.
I am learning to heal on my Druid and it’s much easier to be a dumb Hunter. Lol.
My biggest issue is the second boss in Rise, where I have to watch for those stupid orbs and then immediately do a dispell IF someone is in the fast zone, while healing for the coming damage and then making sure my dumb self is also in the fast zone because I have it too!
And the boulders. Sometimes I’m a nimble cat and sometimes I’m a slow dumb tree and step right out the door into one.
And I am definitely guilty of backing into adds and pulling things
Or I’m watching everyone’s health….except mine!

Morchie would make my hands shake because I would always die fairly quickly.
Now that they changes the CC so my entangling roots hold for more than 5 seconds, it much better.
I can never see which one is the right one. I just follow my tank because he has younger eyes
