I'll also add in that...the way you win fights in CF is always the same:
1) Minimize the chances of missing key skills and spells (perfect them).
2) Maximize your margin of error by increasing your DPS and HP - you want to create a margin of error to account for the randomness of attack and defense rolls. This is a straight up gear check and skill check.
3) Mitigate their attacks by lagging them if necessary or cripple them until they are no longer competitive in terms of DPS/HP. This is a skill/prep check.
4) Lag enemy until dead or kill them with DoTs that they don't have time to heal. This is a skill/prep check.
Alternatively some classes with massive nukes can just nuke spam - but that requires you be able to take out a sizable chunk of health every time you do it - enough that they won't have a chance to flee.
Every single element of fighting, to maximize your chances, requires a grind. You can't succeed without handling the mechanical nature of the RNG by stacking odds in your favor.
So you can't come out and say that "skill practice and preps" aren't necessary - because if you take that approach you're guaranteeing that you will lose to everyone who isn't a total newbie (read - everyone that has a reasonable idea of what strategy you'll be taking to fight them).
