I have respect for that. But not many healers heal without mouseovers 
My complaints are for boss mechanics mostly. I only recently started using addons because I started doing higher level content, there is so much information I can get from these addons it feels like cheating. I’m not a huge fan of having so much stuff on my screen but it appears these are necessary in endgame. Honestly I would have preferred easier raid mechanics or much more intuitive raid mechanic cues.
But I guess the game is so old now that the diehard endgame community prefers it this way and wouldn’t want it to change
Actually - the game has increased the complexities on raid bosses etc because of AddOns like DBM. This is something Blizzard themselves have said - it wouldn’t be anywhere near what it is currently if it wasn’t for DBM and similar AddOns.
Thats not what they said. They said they dont design encounters around addons strictly speaking but they do pay attention to addons and if they do too much in their opinion they disable them. Either later (DBM Radar for Archimonde) or current like it was the case during Dreadlords where Blizzard broke an weakaura in its entirety. Decursive also got some teeth removed in the past if my memory isnt lacking.
It’s way faster and easier to mouseover. Also forgetting to click and then pressing the ability can result in disaster, for example a Prot Paladin trying to BoP someone.
That’s not true at all but you can cope
Prove him wrong.
No, I will not play it if UI addons are allowed.
All addons shall be banned.
Werent you complaining in another thread that it was just too hard in general?
yes but at least for me i can focus on the voice timer instead of more visual clutter.
I know that mechanics happen but I cannot always watch everything as too much is going on.
Especially on mechanics like nelth lair: avalance; you dont have time to move when the circle is shown, then you still get hit. If you are not targetting the mob you also won’t see the cast bar (e.g. playing healer), so the countdown till avalance cast is really great to dodge it.
sure I could make focus macros to watch cast bars but in a timed setting it would just feel too much in general.
Top entertainment seeing people mald and cry unplayable from being so used to addons lul
Wait what? That must be a custom configuration thing.
Is what most addons are. Even stuff like dbm you can track the abilities yourself but its easier if you hav3 the addons
Maybe you’ve read something similar without knowinf the context of what I’ve said before. I only complained about 3 things:
-skill floor
-addons (remove all)
-ability bloat
Nah.
I like my AddOns - I do agree that one shouldn’t NEED addons to function, though.
Apologies i took your complaints about bloat as “game too hard”
You can have a very hard game with a big skill cap with 20 abilities max. You don’t need 40. 40 is just headache inducing at a base level.
That’s a way to kill off healers.
Okay Thats fair
Well do keep in mind that M+ is not pug content. At least not the levels where every mistake can potentially end your life. In the case of no addons any melee or the tank could call the avalances out since they do see the cast timers by default.
Then again some parts should simply be integrated into the default UI. Especially stuff like cast tracking for certain abilities (such as avalance even if avalance is mainly annoying to healers).
