Hot take here.But I hope Blizzard disables functionality from WeakAuras that world first guilds use to massively simplify an encounter.We are no longer at the days where guilds are using DBM and BigWigs.We are now seeing guilds build custom weakauras that simplify and solve the mechanics for you, which is a giant leap from DBM telling you which mechanic is coming next, and what you should do. The fact that RWF guilds have to hire a programmer specifically to build them on-the-fly weakauras and update addons to simplify the mechanics of a fight is too far. Blizzard should continue in this direction and implement further stricter policies.Unless further restrictions are implemented, these addons will become powerful enough where we question the integrity of RWF players. If an addon is solving half the fight for you and telling you what to do during the fight, where to position relative to your team mates, and completely solving the mechanic, what skill are you displaying during the fight? Who can do the most DPS and survive the longest?
Fun detected, fun killed
They nerfed ingame overlays before, there was no way they were gonna allow this.
Game needs more tank specs. Turn aug evoker into one, centered around earth and time powers, stone form, aoe slow (quick sand), regen hp with time and increase your resource gain, make them have 2 stances, a mobile one thats enhanced by bronze flight and a very slow but durable one thats enhanced by earth (not defensive stance, both are durable but situationally u want to be in either depending on the abilities u use, if ur using time related abilities u want to be in time stance for an extra benefit). This is just a simple idea that could work. Aug evoker is fun and different but that doesnt always translate well in real scenarios. Their dmg is dependant on their team's performance which sucks, or they're so overpowered that they blow everything out of the water. Maybe if they made their dmg from buffed allies constant (i.e, u always gain 5k dmg from buffing dps players regardless of their preformance) and they make the actual buffs to allies very very minor, like 1% primary stat or something but doing so kills the allure of the spec so might as well just revamp it.
Thought about this a bit…. And what we really don’t need is more kinds of addons that are necessary for modern play (according to other players, anyway) . They add another barrier to entry for new players. Part of me would like to see them drop addons and hire the creators to improve AI…. But then I also like the innovation and new ideas from the addon community.
Oh this is yummy! The makers of the overlay could've made an addon, but chose to make an overlay to bypass addon restrictions, so if you didn't see this coming, you're blind! Good stuff!
