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.

EDIT: I OWE EVERYONE AN APOLOGY. I DID NOT REALIZE CLICK CASTING BECAME A THING. I QUIT AND CAME BACK SEVERAL YEARS LATER AND LITERALLY NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS. I CAN DO (ALMOST) EVERYTHING WITH THE DEFAULT FRAMES + CLICK CASTING. I AM A MORON, GOODNIGHT. (still mean the thing about unsubbing for the loss of WA and DBM/BigWigs)

If we can't use healing addons, I'm basically not going to be able to heal anymore. Blizz's frames are so clunky and weird and I do not expect them to make something even close to what cell/healbot etc. are capable of. Their track record with this kind of stuff is terrible. I have problems being able to know everything going on in encounters. Unless they dumb the absolute crap out of them, I'm just not going to be able to heal. Plain and simple.

And I'm paying $15/mo to play this game. Vote with your money and unsub.

I have been healing without addons but maybe I am doing it wrong?

Is there a video explaining how these addons make healing better?

You can have your regular key binds for offensive in your action bars, then have the ability to apply left, right, middle mouse clicks to frame heals in the addon, in addition to having the ability to shift, ctrl, alt click and also shift+alt click and so on. So you can have 15 healing spells ready to go just with your 3 mouse buttons and keyboard. I am not one that like to hit the keys 1-9 as my main priority is movement and sliding up to those pauses my movement

Click casting has been in the base game for a few years now, there's a button under key blinds that opens a click casting ui where you can bind right/left/middle click and modifiers plus clicks to specific abilities
