so many people are still struggling with class complexity despite the massive devolution in gameplay.
people doing sub 50% SIM DPS, when they could simply bind OBR to a hold down key and give themselves an automatic +25-45% in damage output
If you want more keys to hit, you can bind OBR to multiple keybinds and still hit them, while maintaining premium damage and uptime on a target.
even the worst OBR classes are still capable of doing 75%+ SIM DPS for your class, and some are even hitting 95% SIM DPS with the right talents ( UHDeath knight and Destro warlock)
Is this true? I have been using OBR on classes i don’t necessarily like to play much and it’s gotten better over time as they have fixed some weird things it was doing but it’s hard to believe it could be that good with it’s change to the global cd.
I’ve heard and gotten so much crud for using it on my DPS chars (My main is a healer so like not useable really there).
I’m sorry my DPS arent for raiding, theyre for when I want a break and going to smash things. Even on a +10. My OBR competes just as well with most PUG groups. I don’t need to top damage meter. What it allows me to do is simplify my bars, make it easier to just kick, press a defensive or 2, and not stand in bad.
I’d rather have a team of OBR users, who do mechanics and kick, than Top DPS players, who I have to out heal the mistakes. It frees up brainspace and overall makes the game more accessible. I’m all for it tbh.
The problem is that a lot of the time people play for aesthetics rather than performance.
I personally like melee classes, but I’m extremely bad at them.
I struggle to track enemies, and half the time I end up hitting the air lol.
I also have a hard time distinguishing anything when there are like 10 enemies on screen.
That’s why I’m always bouncing back and forth between caster and melee.
My advice for anyone who just wants to press buttons and not think too much: go Fury Warrior—ideally Mountain Thane.
That’s not to say Fury Warrior is easy or lacks buttons… but it doesn’t have to deal with charges, double or triple resources, and all that stuff.
I use the OBR when I want to run dungeons and really dont give two squats about the spec…Balance, for example. I dont even care how it plays. Im just there for the XP
Its called deductive reasoning. Some players can watch you play and figure it out. Maybe something like you are constantly using long CDs on enemies with little HP left. Stuff like that.
However, I would wager the majority players can not do this and just assume low dps means you are using one button rotation. Which those of us with at least double digit IQ know is not true in all scenarios.
I feel like I’m too busy to even look at what everyone is doing, i even see it as a waste of time trying to deduct if someone is using the OBR or not. I just rather focus on myself and hope everyone else do a good job.
Won’t denied i have seen so far in this season some DPS that were really bad. Doing a Mythic+ dungeon and seeing 2 DPS pumping over 120k overall while the 3rd one being just barely above me as a Tank.
But i never blame the OBR, the class or the spec, for me is always the player fault.
I’ve used 1-button on some alts and its effectiveness varies wildly between specs. I don’t think it would be a problem if they just let you set the ability priority and turn on/off certain abilities. It would still be a DPS loss over normal play anyways
It’s not good, but a lot of players are playing at like 50% expected output to begin with.
It would be a strong upgrade for those players.
People forget how bad the average player is. Even logs don’t reflect that properly because the worst players are not participating in the levels of raids that have people actively logging.
The issue is mostly that, at least from what I’ve seen, and I fully understand – people don’t want the game to be played for them. They want to be the ones doing their damage, not telling the computer to do it for them.
OBR takes away a large part of what makes the game fun to play.
It might be more efficient for a large percentage of players, but it’s not more fun.
The One Button system does not cover self protection, interrupts, things like trinkets and pet abilities, all it covers is class/spec attacks.
Once a player has got a decent understanding of how to play what may be a new class or spec, they should start working without it and paying more attention to that green health bar and how to stop it going to zero.
I say this as somone who tried it playing my one and only Rogue, a class I know little to nothing about. Its all very well to improve your damage/dps, not so much useful if you are dead too fast when you dont need to be.
OBR won’t use notably long cooldowns for you. You still have to use longer cooldowns by yourself. (Army, Pillar, Frostwyrm, DRW, BoS, etc.)
It will generally use shorter cooldowns (20-30s, sometimes 45s iirc?) which is usually a “just send it angle” nowadays with how many cooldown windows sit on ratios now.
It also won’t use defensives, kicks, movement, utility…
No, of course not. What it needs is more semi-toxic elitists who feel everyone should play every single second of every day exactly like they do. :::sarcasm mode off::
