How far is the One Button Rotation viable for DPS?

How far can you actually get with it? Clearly not mythic raiding. Heroic? I’m sure it’d be more than fine for normal.

In M+? Could someone get to 10s with it?

The One Button uses cool downs at the wrong time and doesn’t seem to understand healing or crowd control.

To answer your question, it depends on your level and how good the gear is that you are wearing. I’m guessing you can forget Mythic anything but that could be wrong.

Eh I tested it out it isn’t bad a nice change of pace and let’s people relax a bit to remember that this is a game. Only people I’d see having a problem with this are the sweaty tryhards.

It’s alright for chill content like timewalking and random dungeons and world content. But if your using it raids,delves,M+,PvP your just hurting yourself or you’re group.

I’ve noticed that it doesn’t use some CDs at all leaving it up to the player which I think is the right call.

I couldn’t imagine it being any good at all for pvp. Its perfectly fine in delves. That’s where I’ve been testing it.

Obviously if you’re min maxing and trying to sweat its definitely going to be worse in every case.

I’m just trying to find out how high it can go before it literally doesn’t meet the dps check.

Yes, assuming you have the proper gear, do the mechanics, and understand that you’ll still need to use your cooldowns, interrupt, defensives, etc. It won’t do all that for you.

Just try it and see. Its not some major life commitment to drag the button to your bar. If it sucks for you, stop using it.

When I tried, a message popped up saying “Are you sure? Till death do us part sure?? Hmm?”

I got scared and didn’t do it.

You made the right choice. I’ve heard it also triggers an IRS audit.

if this button is good for a bit of m+ then it’s a win lol
:cherries:

It needs an option to include/exclude cooldowns or a way to skip the spell it suggests using. My mage will use the spell that speeds up cooldowns (can’t remember the name) right away when it isn’t needed.

It’s not that great.

Is that why you haven’t cleared heroic or mythic raid and not done a single M+?

That’s hilarious.

You could definitely do heroic and 10 keys with it. Id say easily even.

I’ve seen videos of people doing M+10’s clicking their abilities with their mouse. If you can do +10s like that, I can’t believe the OBR wouldn’t work.

People have done 17s with it. It’s viable past reward cap for some specs. Not viable as far for others.

The main reason why the OBR is probably going to outperform most players is because the key to performance is to always be hitting something.

This is why people would macro so many abilities together. Even though it was never the optimal way to play, it was still effective. Even if a person “wastes” CDs it’s better than not hitting them at all. Over the course of an entire boss encounter or dungeon, sub-optimal use of CDs beats forgetful play.

So even if the OBR does approximately 75% of the potential sim DPS, it’s better than most people that play the game.

feels like about 80% worth, lol.
running solo yesterday and broke it out on a couple specs and just playing casually, not really trying to do a real rotation, the OBR was fizzling about 80% of what my casual fingers could get…and thats got to be saying a lot because I dont really try too hard to get max DPS unless Im in group content.

Probably.

Put it this way. Most raid leader would gladly trade 20% of the raid damage to have perfect adherence to mechanics.

That being said, most people already do less than 80% of their sim DPS, so if the OBR gives them a boost to situational awareness without a noticeable loss in damage, then it’s a net positive.
