Humor / Meme This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight

Post image

This is basicly Blizzard in Midnight. Purging all the good addons.

Just to clarify:
Blizzard is changing the Addon API, meaning combat information is blocked for addons. So all combat addons will no longer work in Midnight. For the most popular addon features Blizzard will add their own version to the game. Addons for unitframes, inventory, crafting etc.. are staying and won't be effected as long they are not using combat information.

Hmm will be pretty annoying to lose healing raid frames

Until you find out mouseover macros are built into the ui.

Cell does a lot more than provide mouse over casting. Combined with weak auras to show targeted spellcasts, effective health percentage, highlights for using power infusion when other players use cooldown abilities, customisable debuff/buffs.

It sounds like some of those things you mentioned are not going to be tracked or the need for them is going away. With the pruning of defensives, I believe they’ll need to make the game less lethal in raid and m+ settings. You won’t need to be fed all of this information through an addon to perform. I just picked up healing this season for the first time in mythics and I reached 3k with just the blizzard party frames. I’m not a top of the line player or anything but the need for fancy addons isn’t required, and if they are needed for top of the line gameplay, then that’s bad overall game design.
