I will dont have problem with it. Since I’m cascal player. Only run finder dungeons and LFR.
Had use little addons for raid/dungeon.

But, my fave healer addon “Cell” click-frame. If it gonna down. I would try learn heal wihout them.

Only my person very important addon like “All The Things” and “Rarescanner”.
It’s non-combat. Would my fave addons be safe.

So, how your person would do wihout cooldown trackers addons? Leave or still play WoW?

Since they won’t impact raid, nothing will change for me on that front.

But for m+, I guess will push only with people on voice. The information those addons provide to the healer and tank is quite important to actually do higher dungeons without.

I will adapt and still play. Unless it turns into a complete fiesta to heal without addons/weak auras.

Ehm… they just added a cool down tracker.

Sorry. I disliked this as I tested. Since weird cant click rotations .

I use pretty only “Show Numbers for Cooldowns” in option. I dont need another cooldowns.

But, I’ll wait for test " Rotation Assist" 11.1.7. If it’s well for me like “Hekili’s helper” addon.

I use weakauras so it is fine!

They’ll probably remove that, they already have their own version.

Which is completely useless. It’s just an action bar one cannot click on.

The cooldown tracker is more or less useless, you can’t decide what to track and what not to track, it just tracks everything all at once, it’s not good lol.

I raid heroic and have never used anything other that CT back in the day and now DBM.

The power of Cell and other healer addons is not the CDs you can see. Sure they help. But the biggest impact on performance is click-on-party macros it provides for healing keybinds. That is what impacts healer performance the most.

And that is already implemented in WoW in the “keybinds” page. Its just that it’s a worse version than the ones available in Cell and VohDoh/Healbot.

Tracking CDs, DBM, and “targeted spells” WA are tools to help you be more proactive on your healing. To be reactive you just need to play the “whackamole” game all healers have to do at some point.

But the value of proactive healing depends on the encounters themselves. So if blizzard decides to balance out the encounters (as they claimed they would do when they got rid of addons) then the usefullness of those addons will be diminished.

play like always?
Never used a cooldown tracker unless it’s something I am tracking on my own, like Warrior’s Shield buff or something.
