Youre going to have to provide a source for that… I haven’t seen 96% optimal sim performance in any cases/tests I’ve seen.
Fury warriors (and other melee) will benefit the least from this because they’re losing 20% on every single global. They don’t cast anything. At absolute bare minimum, playing perfectly, it can only be 80% effective for melee classes just by virtue of how math works (and will get worse depending on haste since the 0.2sec delay seems to be static). Losing an entire global every 5 actions is a massive DPS loss. It’s the equivalent of standing still for 30sec basically on every boss fight

I think they need to increase the penalty to .3 or .4
Should be purely for a way for you to learn and start to understand the class or for super casual people to go on auto pilot. It should not be even remotely competitive though
https://gyazo.com/d611db4b473cef440b9f0aa558cbe519 The picture you showed aswell cant be correct you cant be losing 64% in any rotation due to how the assisted works unless you arnt using your cds.
the 21% is not using cds at all and only using the 1 button assist. It gets even crazier with certain cd macros that use conditionals for the 1 button macro when it pops up allowing you to also macro your cds to it.
Most classes are more optimal just using the 1 button + macro and losing 2-6 % dps and just having complete freedom on your everything else atm it needs to be a 50% gcd nerf or something like that.

It’ll probably be disabled in rated content. And honestly if someone’s disability is severe enough to need this feature, I doubt they would be able to reach any decent rating.
One thing that will hamper them is the lack of adaptability. The assist doesn’t seem to dynamic change as the circumstances change. Like if you cast flame shock on a target, then go to cast lava burst, and flame shock gets dispelled, will it stop and reapply flame shock? Or force you to continue with lava burst before it reapplies?
The next gcd will be flame shock. It updates pre gcd (gcd 0.7 updates 0.2) so you shouldnt miss too much even for casters / dot classes. The only thing it will never do is intterupt the cast but you can do that as it updates if you want.
The thing is most melee classes dont have these types of things that change you rotation state based on other people using abilities so they are far less hampered esp when theres low cd likes ret/fury and arms (45s30s).

Yeah. I wonder if people will find ways to exploit the assistant’s priority against casters.
Can you trick it into stopping to reapply a dot when it should be bursting? Dot classes seem the most vulnerable to exploit since our rotation has conditionals to deal optimal damage
Honestly it seems so unreliable in PvP. Idk how it’ll be useable for anything. I don’t see how it could ever have the ability to fully adapt to all the possible scenarios your enemy can create
Probably the same way that rotation bots used to be use in mop where you would control cds/movement abilities but the bot would do max dam.
