As for me, before the fight it’s important to have a proper warm up and to focus on the oncoming fight. Visualize the combat. It helps to get a proper state of mind.

During the combat I usually try to be aware of how the fight is going around me, so I can try to do whatever my team needs at the moment.

After the fight the important thing is to have a good rest before the next combat, I try to reconsider what I’ve done wrong, but try not to be disappointed by that. Morale is important, mistakes are necessary for further improvement.
