we have other UI elements that tell us when we have insta pyros etc.
I would love a UI element to tell me when sun kings is ready to go instead of looking up at the small little proc and buff icons.
yes…I know there are add ons but should we really need an add on for a talent proc?
DBM…yes
other in game things using add ons …sure.
but if it is a talent and it procs it should be an ingame UI element, around your character, a sound or something, anything.
Not everyone has the computer that can run the game well with a gazillion add ons running too.
I hear you but using Weak Auras isn’t that big a deal, and you can use it for more than just SKB. It’s also great for tracking spell and trinket cooldowns, for example. Point being that even if they added SKB to the UI, you’re probably still going to want WA anyway.
Obviously you tried to pre-empt this response because you knew it was coming and you wanted to preserve your forum rant, but if DBM and other add ons are fine then so is WA. If someone’s machine is that much of a potato that WA wrecks their performance, no UI additions are going to save them. Not to mention that DBM and damage meters are a far bigger performance hit for older hardware.
Yeah you pretty much have to get weak auras for sun kings. I have it pop up right above my action bar. This way I don’t have to look around and take my eyes off the encounter: Super helpful. I agree though having to look up at the tiny icons is annoying especially when a bunch of other ones crowd around it.
Yeah it’s basically mandatory for virtually all specs of every class. Especially on specs that have a lot of cooldowns and/or procs to manage. Weakauras are basically an essential tool now which is sad given that it’s third party software and the titans know Blizzard have enough resources to make their own in-game tool.
I don’t understand why they gave us those neat visual aids for just a handful of procs and left it at that without updating it in years (actually come to think of it probably a decade or more).
