Give it time.
They claim the one-button feature to be an assistant feature for people with Disabilities.
Why limit their ability?

Infinite damage instantly.
Take an instant cast, perform an infinite number of casts, since there is no GCD they will all go off at once.

OP meant a +0.0 second GCD. As in, whatever the GCD is now. Basically how good would fully automated gameplay without built-in limitations be compared to a human?

Actually I meant in comparison to the +0.2 GCD added delay Blizzard is implementing. Sorry.

I just wish land acknowledgements were part of my class rotation.

I’m seriously conflicted on this point. Because yeah why limit the ability of disabled players if there is a possible way to do this. But then again those disabled players could have just been using GSE all along so do they really care about being competitive
But then I consider the fact that in order to be really good at anything you have to put a lot of effort into it much of the time and is it fair to the players who put in all that effort to have it basically negated by a one key feature.
I’m not making proclamations in either direction I’m very conflicted about what I think about this. I can see both sides and don’t agree or disagree with either

For shadow priest right now the apl blizzard wrote for their automation system would do 7% less than a player playing perfectly if it used cooldowns.
Stupidly OP, if you could just rapid fire spells where it follows a similar format to heikeli it would more than likely be absurdly broken
Theoretically just as good as manual play. Realistically it wouldn’t account for the encounter and would still bork your DPS in ways a manual player would be able to foresee.
Then you have to consider that the rotation may not be as optimal as it could be which could drop it a bit lower, but on the flipside even if someone who could play manually chooses not to he may not be even close to performing the rotation decently and using 1BR would only be a benefit for him.
There’s really no way to gauge the impact. Chances are even with perfect play and a perfect rotation it’s still not going to play as good as a knowledgable manual player will do because they will understand to hold CDs for an important phase, or not pop them right before the intermission. There’s topping the meters and then there’s doing everything in your power to make sure the boss dies, and some people still don’t understand the difference between them.

What blizzard needs to do now also as a side note, they need to remove the restrictions on us making our own macro to do the same kind of thing. Burning the macro so we can’t put a spell in there that has a cooldown without trashing the macro seems to be kind of obsolete now that they’ve come up with this one key thing

Players should not be able to code their own complex rotation logic into macros.

You’ve reached World of Warcraft General Discussion forum, please wait while I get finished with the over 9000 special snowflake threads about this very subject. In the meantime, please take a moment to contemplate your life and what brought you to this moment in which you thought you had an original idea and created this thread.
Warmest Regards

I didnt say a thing about zero restrictions…‘same kind of thing’ is precisely what I did say. Their version runs spells with CDs…literally the point Im making. Figured it would be pretty obvious given that was literally the point I made

Because too many people complain when people with disabilities have assistance.
But, if they keep the GCD to about .2-.3s gcd penalty, it still isn’t bad. It sort of mimics the time you are supposed to be moving your hand.
Why not? I don’t see any issues there, if someone is able to do it, go for it. We already have Macro sequencing, and addons that can utilize them to do a single target rotation. If we have the technology might as well use it.
Their version is a coded priority that acts very similarly to the way a simcraft apl is written. It’s an algorithm that chooses the next button based on pre determined criteria.
Players can write cast sequences, they can even write them to contain abilities with cooldowns in them, but they can’t skip rows or use advanced logic.

Obviously there are some among us who would find some insane abuse of it if it were totally unrestricted…which is why I literally said it was about macros trashing what we’re trying to do if anything has a CD in there.
The new one key seems to go around spells with a CD until theyre off it again.
That was my point…but leave it to some in here to run with anything that IS said and INSERT things that arent…which is why that poster is likely on my ignore list…I shouldnt have opened the Hidden reply…lol.
Im ONLY asking that the CD restriction be removed, personally, since theyve rendered that restriction obsolete with the new one key feature
(EDIT…and FULLY expect said persons not to just accept that they INSERTED thoughts into my posts that werent there lmao)
Which is a priority.
As per usual you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’ve been called out on that and then you’ve thrown a fit.
