2min test on a pvp dummy cause im pvp gear, 770k dps, how hard it could be to do test with pressing 1 button
Yes thats terrible, absolute terrible, if you can do 6mil yourself and 4.7mil with it, its beyond useless. Sad but true.
Just dummy tested myself. 2.35 Mil ST myself unbuffed 5 minutes.
OBR did 2.1 mil ST unbuffed 5 minutes with me chipping in occaisionally to press dark ascension + PI + trinket macroâd together.
Identical conditions.

Yes, arcane is not easy if the rotation assist doesnt have AI to react on variables
Do you use Arcane Surge yourself? You are expected to do that by it. That goes for all the major CDâs.
Dummies donât fight back. This is best case scenario for me and worst case scenario for the button. 
Same here. OBR arcane canât quite beat me but it gets uncomfortably close⌠2m from OBR, 2.2m for myselfâŚ
Now, to be fair, I do suck horribly at arcane, but⌠this feels bad.

Also wanna say it hurt my wrist, a lot.
Pressing 1 button over and over cannot be healthy.
Also whilst I was doing it, the icon for OBR almost never matched the spell I was casting, and instant cast spells icons didnât even show up before they were cast following a casted spell finishing. In short, I had absolutely zero idea what my character was doing and could not use this as a learning tool at all.

I donât understand whatâs fun about playing like this xD
No, if it isnt from the obr I didnt press it.
Mine did 770k dps in 2min and I did not press anything else than the single button assist as this was test to see how much it does dmg if I have no clue what Iâm doing.
I could do test with food buffs and pots and flasks and pressing cds of my own aswell (on correct time optimally for the pull) but it would not be the test I was interested to see or what I think the ppl using this will be doing really, unless if they already know how to play without it.
And the general fear as I understood from here were that ppl âwho dont know how to playâ will be better in the game with obr, than ppl who know how to play. And that is not the result of my test which I would had concluded, mine were that ppl who do not know anything will do bad dps with obr if they use it as arcane.
Anyways I have done my test and I wont be using it ever in any occasion ever. My 123 dmg classes wont need it and it seems it has no clue how to do dmg on arcane so I have no use for this. Thank you gents and may the one button not rule us all, thank you.
Fury warrior enters the chat do I not exist 
Yes its terrible, its like playing frost mage in vanil again, I cant imagine playing for many hours like this even for leveling alt really.

Well itâs not so much that itâs one button, itâs that when the next ability needs to go off is anybodyâs guess because, as you so eloquently put it, you have no idea what itâs doing. 
So youâre mashing it. So was I.
If it isnât already, it will be.

Yes I was pressing it like trying go through my keyboard to touch the table under my keyboard, is this not the way others play aswell?
Idk I mash 24/7 when im playing regularly too, it never gets that bad because the action isnât that repetitive. Tettles reported the same, even after a couple minutes it was getting painful when regular rotation mashing is fine for hours on end.

I used to, but Iâve been making a conscious effort not to because my fingers were about to fall off doing this in the evening and programming in daytime.
Iâve got quite an arsenal of anti-my-arm-hurts-owie tricks by now.
Left handed mice, right handed mice, upright ergo-mice, tilting the keyboard sideways, using chaincasting on holding down, and I even built in a command that modifies my lag compensation depending on which spell I press by macroing it into my buttons so I can press a button more rarely and make sure it queuesâŚ
#showtooltip
/dismount
/cancelaura slow fall
/cancelaura ice block
/petattack [nomod:ctrl,@pettarget,noexists][mod:ctrl][]
/use [spec:3]Frostbolt;[spec:2]Fireball;Arcane Blast
/console SpellQueueWindow 300
And then Ice Lance has a lower SQW, you get the idea.
Welcome to frigginâ retailâŚ
Yeah on second thought - regular rotation mashing happens with 3 fingers, this happens with 1.

The harder we hit the buttons the more it feel like we are doing dps, itâs like rogues little wiggle with a + d
I mean this technically isnât even false. You can always guarantee youâre queueing something as fast as possible.

Itâs true, same with jump, jumping or strafing as fire technically prevents hitting false pyros for a dps loss too. But if honest if I spam space or a + d its only cause Im anxious or bored, just funny if there is some benefit from those too 
Canât say Iâm all too surprised that I ended up being correct. This concept needs to be shut down before it becomes too much of a problem. I donât want to eventually return to retail just to have everyone spam a single button because they were either bullied into doing it or never learned playing without.
Thereâs a big difference between saying this feature â is supposed to be an accessibility feature say if you are missing an arm you can still play the game at an effective levelâ and it being âa tool to meet a dps checkâ.
The patch notes say: âor for those who want to experience the story or game on a more casual basisâ. Which is something else entirely than needing it for accessibility. That was the point I was making.
Of course it shouldnât be THE go to tool for high end content. And I donât think it is; unless youâre actually very bad at playing your class. And yeah⌠Thereâs probably players who thought they were good players, but in reality were awful. 
Thatâs not an issue with the OBS, but rather with the player in question.

Itâs a problem with OBR.
Say 100 is theoretically possible, but nobody is ever going to reach it for obvious reasons.
The easy content gets designed for around idk, 10-20. Medium 30-40, and hard 60-70.
If you under gear it you can add an extra 10, so under gearing hard content by doing it early means you need to perform maybe 70-80.
Giving people a free pass to 70-80 is entirely OBRs problem. People are not worse than they thought they were, the content has just never needed perfect or near perfect play because that expectation has always been unrealistic.

Itâs not a free pass. You donât literally only push one button. And suggesting you do, is just silly.
You still need to play the game. Pay attention. Do mechanics. Switch targets. Move out of danger zones. CC. Interrupt. Use defensives. Etc etc.
