Just so we’re clear I’m not defending a person, I’m explaining a hypothetical scenario.
It depends on whether the math is right or not comparing the data from actual player logs to performance while using OBR.
If it’s true that it has the performance of ~75 parse, then at least a couple things are true:
- It’s performing ~25 above 50, which is well above average.
- It’s doing this while relieving an appreciable portion of cognitive load in combat
These being true, it’s then true that it’s better for ~75% – decidedly a majority – of players to stop trying to make decisions for themselves in terms of their combat rotation and just leave that to a machine that chooses for them.
I detest anything that devalues the acts of thinking and self-improvement, which a machine that makes complex decisions for you and executes them with the press of a button does exactly.
The math could be wrong of course, you could be correct, but the fact that the rotation doesn’t leave room for errors or absent globals outside of, say, casters moving or melee not being in-range, and the unquestionable relief of cognitive load leads me to believe otherwise.
