Every time I get into a dungeon and someone isn’t running DBM, and thundering procs, if they don’t have a big chat bubble over their head showing which mark they have the entire dungeon is a nightmare.

Thundering puts a storm cloud or a tornado over everybody’s head to show which debuff they have.

I play with chat bubbles turned off and have zero problems with Thundering.

Playing without some kind of nameplates is pretty much a nightmare to try and determine who you have threat on if you’re tanking.

There’s no question that WoW’s UI is garbage but that’s a general issue that Blizzard continues to refuse to address. Their “UI revamp” in Dragonflight was a lot of hot air; I didn’t replace a single addon with the “new UI”.

But that’s not an issue of encounter design.

Not getting some kind of alert when pretty much any mechanic is about to happen would make most mechanics lethal.

Examples?

Also – those basketball size spheres that shoot across the platform do not clearly show you where not to stand… it’s visual vomit covering the entire field of play. It tells me I know something is coming, but I still can’t tell where it’s coming from exactly until I actually find raz in the sky and see the direction she’s looking.

She’s in the sky, targets a player, and strafes a beam centered on their location. Moving to the sides of the beam is safe. You don’t need an addon for this. In fact, lots of guilds (including mine) beat Raz just fine before addons were even out for the boss fight.
