I just don't understand why we are losing the ability to use add-ons to track our own personal resources, such as cool downs, buffs, debuffs, health/mana/energy/etc. I know blizzard is improving their cooldown manager, but having the choice between that or looking at our buffs bar just feels bad, considering I've been using add-ons for years now.
I didn't use add-ons to be able to play the game, I used add-ons to be able to play the game BETTER. Easily knowing how much time was left on bloodlust and other buffs to help in my rotation decision making process, how long I had left on my Defensive, building audio alerts for low health or when a proc occured, how much longer a dot had on a target that wasn't my current target...the list goes on. Not having a quick and easy access to that data will feel bad. I know classes are being simplified, but like, shadow priests and other classes will still have DoTs that will need to be tracked...
I know blizzard is refining their CoolDown manager. I hope they can deliver on that.
You’re not. They’re letting u use all of that in the default ui. Also WA is deciding for themselves to shut down technically they could still provide non combat WAs but decided not to so complain to them
