One button rotation = wow for consoles

Title…

If we can add our entire rotation to one button then the possibility to have wow for consoles increases, no?

  1. They aren’t adding the “entire” rotation to 1 button. DPS Cooldowns, Defensives, Self Healing, Utility Spells, and Movement Abilities are not included.
  2. The pre-set rotations arent good. They are just better than nothing. And they cant even be lined up with DPS cooldowns without a lot of effort
  3. Other MMOs have gone to console with waaaaay more that 1 button rotations. So if that was what they wanted to do, this was unnecessary

Outside of DPS cooldowns these are not part of “a rotation” they are abilities used when a specific utility oriented situation calls for them to be used.

When I study a class’s rotation there is no set spot for my movement abilities or self heals to be used because they are not a part of any “rotation” so, yes, it is adding the entire rotation.

What you mean to say is that it isn’t adding your entire toolkit and will not respond to specific situations but will execute your entire DPS rotation sans big cooldowns.

With all of that said WoW has been “imminently going to consoles” since patch 3.3. So this is just another dumb rehash of a 16 year old prediction.

I would love to relax on the couch and play wow with simple controller functionality/one button rotation. Hopefully this is part of the reason for this.

I wouldn’t mind doing my solo open-world leveling from a Steam Deck TBH.

People already do this

Almost like you can already do this.

Okay? Tell the OP that, not me. They’re the one saying controller play is only now becoming possible.

This excuse is stupid as Final Fantasy 14 is on console and it job rotations even with slower GCD still way more bloated with combos and procs and CDs.

I tested the tool on PTR and my WW monk is not doing the correct rotation fully as it will stop fists of fury channeling to jump to the next attack etc if the button is smashed. My arcane mage arcane balls can still fire the wrong way and my echancement shaman just spam chain lightning etc, so it not of the world as it not perfect enough to challenge the sweats.

FFXIV is on consoles, and it works perfectly fine with its four hundred thousand abilities.

I goof around on WoW using an Xbox controller and have about 40 keybinds, which is probably more than most people that play with kb/m.

Theirs also the way healing in the game works as well.
