Honestly at this point you’re either trolling or not looking to play an MMORPG (other than something like non-PvP Oldschool Runescape without using tick manipulation).

If you’re deadset on playing WoW and having the ability to take a drink without losing DPS while in combat, you’re gonna need to get a mouse with side buttons, so you can DPS with your right hand while you drink with your left.

I mean, or just move your drink to the right so you can DPS with your left and let go of the mouse. But the other thing works better because you can move with the mouse, target with the mouse, and dps with the mouse.

Or player a healer and never do anything higher than queued content I guess.

stormkeeper mastery ele sham with the pvp talent that makes lolburst never be instant casts and destro ummm not the affi hero talent but the other one are my personal faves

Probably because in situations where there’s a lot of raid damage, empowered spells require some forethought. You don’t want to be partway through your Eternity Surge* and have to abandon it or cast it to affect fewer targets, and Hover doesn’t allow you to cast empowered spells on the move. So you spend a certain amount of time engaged in frantic positioning.

Also, Hover is a great ability, but you can’t have it on the entire fight, so you’re still having to position yourself for Disintegrate a lot of the time. Being bad, if I get in a bind I’ll just sprint around spamming Azure Strike until I reach a safe spot, but that’s terrible damage.

`* It’s less of a big deal with Fire Breath, because it deals the same amount of damage no matter the empowerment level, it’s just how much of it is a DoT and how long the DoT lasts, so I don’t worry about cutting it off sooner. Heck as a Prevoker a lot of the times I want my Dream Breath cast at lowest level so it sticks a good, long HoT on everyone.

I feel like I could watch the entire extended editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the time it takes to cast Demonbolt as a demonology warlock.

Maybe one of those hats where you put the beer on the top and there’s a straw running down to your mouth? Or, I have used hydration backpacks on long hikes – “beverage” bladder in the pack and a tube you can suck on!

Current build sits around 47-52 apm, which is too fast for what Dev used to be.

Developers seem to have a hard on for giving most specs some sort of Haste amp, in Devs case a cast time reduction after using Engulf.

I miss when it was slower. We have more than enough fast specs in the game, need a few more slower ones.

I’ve been leveling a few different classes for the event and honestly the longest breaks I get are with sin rogue. With so much damage coming from your dots + a talent that buffs your damage if you pool your energy, it’s usually better to take a sip than to spam Mutilate. You can even start walking to the next objective if its just a world mob at half health with all dots on it.
