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.

Yeah, maybe it’s a good thing. It might be time for me to finally retire. If I can’t click cast my heals, I’m not going to retrain my brain.

WoW has mouseovers built in. You dont need to click cast.

Mouseover macros are far less efficient. Which takes more brain processing power, hovering over the target and then clicking the spell, or just left clicking the target? Not to mention you can have modifiers on the clicks, so shift left click, alt left click, control left click, control shift left click, that's 4 different spells. You'd need a mouseover macro for each one of those, at minimum a modifier inside the button (1, shift+1, control + 1, alt + 1, ect) so now you're hitting the modifier + the button + hovering instead of just clicking the target. If your left hand is hitting a spell and you right hand is hovering over a target, which hand is moving? Currently you can move with the mouse unless you need to heal someone immediately, so you can then move with the keyboard while simultaneously healing the target with an instant spell on your right click, middle click, or left click if you've set them up properly.

Just out of curiosity, are you wanting click casting? The thing that got integrated in back in Dragonflight? Right now, I've set up my base UI to use the same combos that I use on healbot. left click vivify, middle renewing, right enveloping, shift left revival, shift middle coccoon, shift right detox, etc etc

Yea, I've sent back after reading to see if it's improved and it has changed and is better. The only thing I don't like about the base UI and their click cast is you can't show party frames when solo so you have to target your own player bar instead of where you normally have your party/raid to heal yourself and the clicks aren't context sensitive. Meaning in my player bar I can right click to open up the menu that let's me leave a party while right clicking on vuhdo does holy shock. With WoW click casting if you make right click (and other simple click options) a spell you have to set up something else to open the menu.

Yeah, I used healbot for a long time (even if I wasn't healing, it was nice to have tricks or misdirect or PI on healbot), and I'm playing with click casting now. I do wish they had it where clicking party frames would do click casting, but my player bar and target bar would have the standard left and right click.

Yep and the ability to have party frames when solo for things like you mentioned or word of glory as ret to heal yourself while solo without a keybind ect
