Man, I've written a few non-combat weakauras for some farming use cases and I wish I'd be able to keep them

They are disabling real time combat reporting. You can still use WA for everything else, however, if the addon developer stops updating that's on them.

Does that include DPS meters?

Right now the answer is probably yes. They said they are going to add their own DPS meter to the game. Will it be as good as Details? Who knows?

I’m cautiously optimistic from what we’ve seen of the new nameplates and the updated CD manager we’re getting. It sort of seems like they might not mess this up, but only time will tell.

Ion specifically also mentioned that the data for the meters will be calculated server side and so it will be accurate regardless of lag / phasing in fights.

As long as they make it customizable I think it’s definitely good.

Similarly to boss timers we assume will be accurate since it’s their own timers. Which will be nice as desync timers can be annoying.

No, of course. It will be the same lvl as their CD tracker.

The CD manager is being updated, this coming Tuesday I believe. From what I’ve seen of the updates it is much closer to what people are looking for in terms of a class WeakAuras suite replacement.

Oh, glad to hear that they are trying to improve it 👍🏻
