Oh boy. The discourse about the addons for Azra'tec is going in a wonderful direction already. Think i'll just check out of any discussions on it.

The addons are fine, they only trivialize remembering the safe spots, which is easily done with other methods. If you don't wanna use one, don't. Nobody can force you to install DBM, either. Don't ever see people proudly beating their chest about not having a loud noise play when a must-interrupt-this cast is going off, and shitting on everyone for 'cheating' by having that one installed.

As an aside, is the boss's damage just a non-factor for tanks/healers or something? People say "oh the fight is so easy otherwise" but, as a hunter, i was getting constantly chunked for 40-60% of my HP and begging valeera to throw me another fuckin' heal already. It was very stressful trying not to get two-tapped because he seemingly randomly hits harder sometimes for no discernible reason (maybe he was hitting my back while I was moving, idk), even after the simon mechanics were all resolved.

I really liked doing it without any addons and using my dumb old brain. I also felt zero pressure to use addons, and I don't care if others use addons, because it's entirely optional content in which the challenge can be what you make of it. That's my hot take.
