New player, quite overwhelmed by the T10 dungeons

I started playing Tera a few weeks ago, and I gotta say that I find it a bit odd that there wasn't anything challenging in the game up until now...it seems like it's dropped on you all at once. What is the best way for a slow learner to become acquainted with the mechanics of late game dungeons? I'm not able to find any short concise boss guides out there, what I've found seems to be quite a bit to take in all at once. I'm getting the impression that there's a bit more involved than the mmo standard "don't stand in stupid" mechanic for boss fights. As a sorc I'm told you have an advantage with the abundance of iframes. I definitely did better in my last run of SS but still died a few times and not sure why.

    Guides from 'essentialmana' and 'Yosha's stuff' provide concise breakdowns of boss mechanics from endgame dungeons. There are some youtube video guides out there as well. :)

    You're free to even go back one step to learn basic movements. Apparently you're in Slaughter right now and don't bother with Kalivans Challenge or Demokron Factory normal mode (DFNM). In case of DFNM, the normal mode is a very good learning dungeon for DFHM.

    With basic movements I don't mean how to move forward or back but how to time iframes into the boss attacks. You get a hang how much time you have after the bosses warning until the attack hits. E.g. one of the basic movements also involve stopping damage before the boss does the AoE attack. A lot of new players often try to dash out damage until the last second which results in mistiming the iframe.

    This. And, try to watch one video. Try mid tier IOD BAM Vanguard daily. It can be good practice.
