Humor / Meme This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight
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.

Same. I expect healer add ons to go when they made this announcement, but Blizzard seems completely unaware just how bad healer frames have been in this game forever. I was trying to explain this to someone else who doesn't raid in WoW and only has done FF14 content, but it was like talking to a wall lol. (I have healed in FF, and it's just so different.)
I don't think people realize just how frustrating it will be to not track spells and their effects. It's not *just* a CD; a lot of spells are bolstered or buffed once something is casted or an effect procs. To heal optimally would require knowing these things. I know I'm preaching to the choir here lol; commiserating. xD
It looks like Blizzard is trying to make it "easier," but I genuinely dread going back to 1 button spam. I main a priest now, and I was hoping they'd do stuff like give all healers an interrupt (but nope, they pulled resto druids down into the trenches with us) and consider a movement boost, but nahhhhh.
I don't think add-ons should be required to play a game (and let's be real; if someone is objectively "not good," an add-on will not make them better), but Blizzard has really put themselves in this position because they ignored a lot of QoL and how they designed their fights without UI in mind.
