What percentage of the players will use it as their primary mode of play?
What percentage of the player base do you think would see a DPS increase from using it?
What percentage of players will opt to not use it, even though it would be a DPS increase for those players?
What percentage of players will use it even though it’s a DPS loss for those players?
A lot I mean over 50% really
The game is not just M+ players and mythic raiders remember, there are lots of people out in the world who just play the character to enjoy seeing them do cool stuff, and don’t care about rotations at all. I met people who wore the white legendary templates (with no stats) in shadowlands, THREE different people. And I don’t judge them, I’m the same way in GW2.
I also think the most clever spec guide writers are going to find builds that “optimize” pure OBR usage (maybe taking less cds) and that will replace or improve “easy mode” pages significantly. BM for example has a build that can be 100% OBR, and still good, consistent damage, and I’m sure it will be popular. Although DPS might tunnel even more than they already do
28.3% Repeating, of course.
62%
10%
Hope that helps. My answers are definitely science-based (ref: trustmebro)
Me when I play rogue.
Nobody knows how many. Don’t care either.
It has a built-in dps loss to incentivize knowing what you are doing, good enough.
Those who should use it won’t.
Those who shouldn’t use it will.
lmao.
Probably a lot. It is designed to make gameplay easier, not increase your player performance.
Given that an overwhelmingly large majority of current wow subs are casual players farming mounts, reps, mogs, etc., I’d say a lot of players from that demographic will use it.
are you sure that the majority of players are just mount, reps, mogs farmers?
Look at mythic plus participation
Look at the raid participation
Look at PvP participation
None of those have a significant amount of players yet the game is still very active and has enough subs to keep it profitable enough for Microsoft to purchase.
Yeah, I’m really just curious. On second-reading, yeah, I can see how one might think I’m being judgey (especially since I’m a Paladin, that’s kind of what we do). But I’m really just curious.
Full disclosure, I’d probably see a DPS increase from using it. But I won’t. I like hitting buttons. Kinda the whole reason I play. <.<
Wouldn’t be surprised if lfr clear times improve with it
640 ilvl people showing doing same dps as my 540 shadow priest lol
Nobody should ever care how anyone ever plays.
Ever.
As a heroic/mythic capable raider, id probably only use it during hectic cleave/heavy movement moments that im also calling mechanics or timing something critical. So very rare, when my attention is overloaded, and mechanics or wipe.
Let’s expand that! No one should care about what anyone else cares about. Ever. Checkmate. =P
How many will use nothing but the OBR for their damage rotation? Idk, not many.
How many will use it as part of their gameplay, either as 95% alongside a macro for cooldowns or as an option to fall back on? A lot of people.
I believe a large group of players will learn that they can’t rely on it all the time but in certain key situations it will come in handy.
You know what? Maybe I should finally try Rogue again. And Feral.
Seems OP thinks we somehow have insight into these metrics, same way people thought we had insight into how many would use arachnophobia mode.
Weird.
I don’t think all that many will use it and most people who do use it will be people who have to due to disability.
Why? Because it’s honestly quite boring.
Maybe people will use it for alts but even then it’s not really ergonomic to spam one button because your hand will start to hurt pretty quickly.
P.S. Frankly, I wish Blizzard would just have it replace auto-attack.
Oh look, another self-important, condescending post from Sendryn. How utterly shocking and completely surprising. ::YAWN::
agreed
