you have a metric fuck ton of utility

#

and you literally die to nothing

#

ever

runic hinge
#

ret in keys is pretty good

#

Playing human pally for WCM and just hoping you get every soul thorns so you can show off

gusty mirage
#

prio and cleave damage

#

and execute damage

#

syncs super well with augvoker and PI

pseudo elm
#

okey ive been reading pretty much everywhere about this and i cant find anything good enough imo. And its about that prio in raid vs m+. I thougt for a long time that the key was to get alot mastery. Looking at murlok.io thats not the case. Its usualy around 65% and 20% haste and around 20% vers and 30-40% crit. But i wonder in raid whats the best stat prio there? Im doing rotation and everything right but im stuck at around 200k dps if everything goes as planned

gilded oasis
#

you can bench 2.2 of me

spice spire
#

Jesus

shy pecan

#

what is murlok.io I hope its just gifs of Whispyr.
Stat weights change depending on your gear and mainly trinkets tbh. Best bet is to sim yourself to see either gear upg or what stat its leaning to in like gems (not stat weight sim)

#

wait is this all just pvp shit

shy pecan
#

No, there’s some M+ stuff

pseudo elm
#

I really like assa and ive been struggeling with for some time to learn how to play it, but im starting to think i need to start getting gear so i can jump to outlaw

gilded oasis
#

idk it says pvp guide

pseudo elm
#

sim on raidbots you mean?

gilded oasis
#

WAIT

#

I FOUND THE BUTTON TO CHANGE DONT MEME ME

spice surge
shy pecan
#

Just use top gear and click on the trinkets and items that are potentially best for you

spice spire
shy pecan
#

🙂

gilded oasis
#

brother I am a sin rogue I dont read

#

I dont know how

shy pecan
pseudo elm
#

do any of you guys that plays assasination play any of the other speccs too?

shy pecan
#

I played sub and sin

pseudo elm
#

sin?

shy pecan
#

Sin = assassination

pseudo elm
#

ah , okey

#

that was my first thougt. shouuld be easiest way to get gear for it

royal lantern
pseudo elm
#

how is that compare to outlaw and assa? take smolderon for expample. assa totaly sucks on that boss. everything is about the 2 cd´s. and with that many mecanics you really need to have a specc with more consistent dps

shy pecan
royal lantern
#

assa doesnt suck on smolderon lol

#

sub is just OP as hell there cus dust is a flawed talent

#

assa is a 100% normal spec there like all others

pseudo elm
#

well yeah sometimes i play crap i know when thats the case. its just about learning when to use the cd´s on diffrent bosses ofc

storm forum
#

OL is funny on smold cause they just take 2 on use damage trinkets and alternate them on intermissions

runic hinge
#

I played assa on smoldy and topped my raid so it can't be that bad

pseudo elm
#

how much dps did you do?

storm forum
#

Sub can suck my ass

runic hinge
#

Smold you just send everythiing on cd always

dark token
runic hinge
#

242k

royal lantern
pseudo elm
#

thats pretty good. im stuck atm at 200k. not on smolderon though

#

do you save deathmark for phase 2 after orbs?

runic hinge
#

I did a normal raid for 1 boss today and played sub and I decided that isn't for me

Last time I killed a mythic boss as sub my guild fell apart so I'm using that as a scapegoat instead of all the other fucked up stuff that was happening in our guild.

Thanks

gilded oasis

#

Idk, I just sim every day

gilded oasis
#

yeahh it just depends.. When I wear branch in ST my prio goes to haste, when I wear ashes it goes to mastery, m+ pings between crit and mastery but its like 800dps change so

runic hinge
#

I sent a sim just now for fun I can get .7% dps if i craft 2 items and change my gems

gilded oasis
#

.7?! OP

shy pecan
#

Stop. Looking. At. Stat. Priority.

pseudo elm
#

why? that gotta be importent

shy pecan
#

It's not as important as you think.

gilded oasis
#

!stats

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

if you want stat prios then play a different class

#

or a different xpac lol

pseudo elm
#

i did a sim a couple of days ago and it said 197k, i did 200k on first boss in mythic so that gotta mean i atleast know what im doing

#

its not that i want all the ppl stat prio im just curious. i want to improve

gilded oasis
#

then you should be asking about your rotation you are executing probably not your stats

shy pecan
#

^ This

dark token
#

200k on first boss eyebrows

pseudo elm
#

and i m+ im not happy with my dps. not at all

dark token
#

are u playing assa on first boss

#

cause

gilded oasis
#

and in the end your damage comes down to rotation, did you get a mechanic, did you get a mechanic during KB? did adds live long enough to pad, did someone else pad harder? did you get PI? did you get aug buffs

dark token
#

i think u should focus on executing ur 1 min and 2 min burst exactly correct

#

and let sim worry about gear

storm forum
#

First boss has adds we can burst down and a damage Amp phase, we should be doing way more than our Sim dps on gnarlroot

shy pecan
#

What Zar said. Execution is far more important than your gear. If you're not hitting your buttons properly, that's the reason why you're likely not performing.

gilded oasis
#

I mean m+ comes down to just as many things plus, did you finish ramping your KB on one target or did it die before KB ended, are you spattering correctly are your bleeds up do you know when to send CDs or hold (harder to tell in pugs and not knowing their pulls)

#

m+ takes more planning and knowing what your situation is, its not the same every pull unless you are playing with a consistent group where a boss pull is literally scripted minus who gets mechanics (sometimes)

#

and sin m+ is a lot of tabbing and also knowing when to stop tabbing and doing some caustic damage and hoping adds live long enough for KB and/or DM to finish out

shy pecan
#

I wanna say a lot of poor M+ play is people just holding CDs too long for that "perfect pull" and missing a lot of uses because of it

gilded oasis
#

depends but yes

pseudo elm
#

one thougt ive had is in between the cd´s ive noticed i go under half energy pretty often so i spend time waiting on it to. and then i evenemon is not up all the time

storm forum
#

On ST, that happens, it's part of our spec design

#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back

  • If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
  • Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
  • Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
  • With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
gilded oasis
#

you wont have 100% envenom time in raid and most certaintly not in m+

pseudo elm
#

because when i do my cd rotaion i allways get on top of dps list again. but after second deathmark im stuck further down

runic hinge
storm forum
#

TLDR for the TLDR: if you have 4 piece, spam until 0 energy, and then pool until 90% energy.

gilded oasis
storm forum
#

It's okay to let env drop when you're pooling

runic hinge
#

Maybe I try pugging some mythic bosses this week

blazing jewel
#

first 3 are pretty easy to pug

pseudo elm
#

but still if sim says 200k dps. i should do changes on my gear

runic hinge
#

You should sim top gear and use the best stuff in your bags

#

You play is gonna matter more than your secondaries

gilded oasis
#

and turn off windfury and pi and any other outside buffs you dont actually get because its just skewing your sim number if you're so stuck on that number

runic hinge
#

Hit some dummy’s and work on perfecting your opener and your 1 min KB window

pseudo elm
#

whats the diffrence on your dps on KB with and without DM?

storm forum
#

A lot

pseudo elm
#

ah okey, mine too

storm forum
#

Like 2x

pseudo elm
#

like me

#

DM duplicates your weapon poisons, which makes KB ramp twice as much

gilded oasis
#

Tony's non DM KBs are actually more than when he DMs its crazzy

pseudo elm
#

i can come up to 2.2 with dm. and without not very often over 1m

storm forum
#

Tony is just built different

gilded oasis
#

yeah thats just how DM works with KB

storm forum
#

Yeah that sounds about right.

pseudo elm
#

but after that cds, my dps just drops. so it feels like the problem is in between cds

blazing jewel
#

thats how a burst spec works

shy pecan
#

Yeah, because that's how it works

gilded oasis
#

thats kinda what we do

shy pecan
#

Scana too fast

blazing jewel

#

so youre big slow

drifting cloud

scana plays sub dont trust him

gilded oasis

between cds we are just playing the envenom chain game

pseudo elm
#

that i know but i should get back up again when its time to pop them

shy pecan
#

Yeah, because I'm old Oldge

blazing jewel

#

KB is also very rng. My nonDM KBs are between 850k and 2M, my DM KBs are between 1.7m and 4.5M. And yeah, we just do little damage outside of those, it's just how our build is.

It's a permanent item

I'm not seeing a main stat gem either

also no gem sims if you care, with bark you prob dont gem mastery

I mean, I'm looking at the log of your kill and right off the bat...

pseudo elm
#

when is that?

shy pecan
#

Your M Gnarlroot kill on Saturday.

limber lion
#

Yeah pulling off the correct rotation definitely helps elevate your dps

pseudo elm
#

prob not my best play night

shy pecan
#

I mean, that's your top log...

limber lion
#

Damn the sim is actually pretty quick

#

There you go, found almost 10k dps for ya

pseudo elm
#

woow

limber lion
#

Change all gems to haste + vers, get head enchant, get primary stat gem, change weapon enchants to wafting devotion

runic hinge
#

Double wafting. That’s sick

limber lion
#

and use tight spender instead of improved ambush

runic hinge
#

Zooming

limber lion
#

You might probably want to change the ring enchants to haste as well

#

but I was sitting at 15.8m iterations out of 16m already so I couldn't fit em in

pseudo elm
#

this was really fun to see. thanks alot

limber lion
#

Crit + Haste enchants instead for an extra 200 dps

#

big

shy pecan
#

You still need to execute your rotation properly. Like not hitting double tea during your DM windows, utilizing Tea/Vanish properly to maximize your KB potential. Not overwriting your improved garrote after dancing.

pseudo elm
#

i did that prob cos of i went to low on engery, to get back up over 150

shy pecan
#

You shouldn't be running out of energy during DM because you have four bleeds up

runic hinge
#

You don’t need to be over 150. Sanguine isn’t something to play around

shy pecan
#

And that too

pseudo elm
#

isent it? 30% increased dps on bleeds

runic hinge
#

You’re also full sending during cds and chaining evenom outside of it

shy pecan
#

You don't play around Sanguine Blades

I literally cant stop

blazing jewel
#

im playing sin in alt raid

pseudo elm
#

ive been using vannish totaly wrong then. Ive been aiming for another improved garrote. and ofc using env for crit

blazing jewel
#

gm will not control me any longer kekdog

limber lion
#

So that's a good thing

gilded oasis
limber lion
#

But yeah you need to delay it until KB has 3s or less remaining

#

to take advantage of Master Assassin as well

limber lion
#

welcome home

blazing jewel
pseudo elm
#

another thing, rotation guides ive checked shows that i should use shiv before shadow dance. i dont i use it after shadow dance for crit.

limber lion
#

Shiv is not a button you use for damage

pseudo elm
#

i do shadow dance shiv then kb

#

i know that ofc

limber lion
#

You use it to buff the nature damage of other things

#

like Envenom and KB

#

Do you have Envenom up before you KB

pseudo elm
#

yes, allways use it before

limber lion
#

The reason you Shadow Dance together with KB is to maximize the overall damage of everything that you're doing. KB, Shiv, Env, DM, everything

#

Dance lasts only 6s

#

So if you Shiv before Dance, you'll still have the entire Dance window fit inside the Shiv window

#

But if you dance before you Shiv, that means that you get 1s less of Dance during KB

limber lion
#

As well as making the garrote reapplication and stuff wonky

#

Just do yourself a favor and learn the recommended rotation

blazing jewel
#

He’s awake

#

Run

balmy condor
#

You’re pressing your least damaging ability during dance… for the crit?

limber lion
#

Do this everytime and you're chilling big time.

gilded oasis
#

First 3 whispyr logs I go to are Sub i got trolled

pseudo elm
#

it was just a thougt i had and yes. i felt that i got enough time to use everything during shadow dance. i did know mabye i was wrong so thats why i asked

limber lion
#

Yeah you just want to maximize overlapping of all possible cooldowns as much as possible

#

So you use Deathmark first which is the longest cd

pseudo elm
#

and trinket before dm

limber lion
#

Then Shiv, Dance, KB

#

Yeah and potion together with DM/KB

#

You just want to overlap everything in the world together for big deeps

#

and then feel like a wet noodle when everything ends

#

that's the way of the assassination

#

smiles

#

:)

pseudo elm
limber lion
#

But yeah learn the opener right because it's the same thing everytime. It doesn't change at all

#

What changes is how you play around the 4p and that's what the !pooling command is for that you saw previously

limber lion
#

Just a showcase of what it should look like

balmy condor
blazing jewel
#

Whisp would never use branch

pseudo elm
#

vannish 13 sec after kb

balmy condor
blazing jewel
limber lion
#

As long as it's less than 3s of Kingsbane

#

you're fine

#

If you use it when KB has 3.1s remaining, it's wasted

willow grotto
#

When will the sub be nerfed? When the assa was strong he was already nerfed 3 times

limber lion
#

better to use at 2s than at 3.1s

balmy condor
#

That vanish might’ve not hit the second to last tick

#

It’s like 0.3 seconds late

#

But idk

well Ceverion and Zar i really appriciate your help and input, really. Most wow geeks would just sneeze at me. so thanks alot

new build, new spec

straight to the TD gulag

gilded oasis
#

yum gulag is that like goulash

keen spruce
#

i haven't had goulash in a hot minute

#

that sounds good

jaunty warren
#

Ok so how do we deal with mechanics that take us off target like smolderons rings ? I feel bad hitting kb and the running away

blazing jewel
#

Cloak Surebud

keen spruce
gilded oasis
#

imagine not wasting cloak 15s into the fight

jaunty warren
#

lol

#

Zar epic

gilded oasis
#

but yeah cloak or just try to run out fast and step back in fast to have minimal downtime on that if you dont have cloak up

keen spruce
#

it's mostly just planning

#

like on smoldy

#

you cloak during first intermissino

#

for uptime

#

during kb

#

then you don't have CDs for the next one so it's fine to run out

#

and you have to use gate anyways

#

then 3rd one the rings don't make you get off the boss

#

with lust

#

and dam

#

then 4th one your CDs come back after rings iirc

jaunty warren
#

Wait….the smoldy rings have a consistent, repeating pattern for each intermission ?

gilded oasis
#

on mythic

#

are you talking about not mythic?

jaunty warren
#

Mind blown

#

I am talking about heroic and above

blazing jewel
#

Shmeeps also has secret tech on how to dodge all the tornados on smold

gilded oasis
#

Heroic is random (?) still but mythic the rings for all intermissions are set patterns

blazing jewel
#

Oh no

limber lion
#

I've heard that Shmeeps has a spreadsheet for every single ability and what defensive works on what

blazing jewel
#

@keen spruce

Make sure to dm him whenever you have a question about that

The tornados pre nerf were a lot of fun

#

You can yolo them now and it’s still fine

#

idk if we're ever gonna rekill smold

limber lion
#

I wouldn't know

#

Maybe with my new job I could start mythic raiding again

blazing jewel
limber lion
#

lmao good one

pseudo elm
#

ive tried smolderon mythic, its really hard.

thorn fjord
#

Its not too bad tbh

gilded oasis
#

I found it quite fun by the end of prog

thorn fjord
#

I hated Smold

#

Swift has been fun

gilded oasis
#

🤮

pseudo elm
#

and to get all the people to worry about where to send the swirls, that seems to be the biggest issue. atleast in the guild i raided with

thorn fjord
#

We're way more pulls in on swift and i still dont feel like guaging my eyes out

gilded oasis
#

Im jealous

thorn fjord
gilded oasis
#

Im tired of the same people dying to first nadoes, and 2nd and then 2nd platform

pseudo elm
#

when you are at smolderon do melee stay at boss with the swirls?

sweet dawn
#

In the intermission with the rings?

#

Ye

thorn fjord
#

We did a sort of L around the boss for swirls

#

as melee

gilded oasis
#

I think he means the ones that shoot nadoes

sweet dawn
#

Ohh

gilded oasis
#

we made a line on either side of the boss cause Ls are too hard and also range like to be in melee instead of in range so melee had to run out kekw

thorn fjord
#

Oh man range got chewed the fuck out one night because of that

sweet dawn
#

We kinda stand on the outer side of the boss/arena and ranged stand near old lava pools

thorn fjord
#

We tried the two line strat and our smoll brains couldnt handle

#

But we kept having range come in to melee every single time

#

RL fucking lost his shit lol

gilded oasis
#

Once we started the two line strat it was better for us but yeah

gilded oasis
#

It helped that a hunter and mage and dragon started baiting in Africa so it was 3 less people in spots

ebon apex
#

so how bad is it to catalyst head instead of legs? my plan is to get legs crafted w toxified patch, and tack on thornwraps. 4/4 tier set
i read ideally you would catalyst legs and get the head piece crafted

balmy condor

Pretty much irrelevant

Guys whats the pandemic timings for Garrote and Rupture

gilded oasis
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

gilded oasis
#

usually 6 seconds is safe.. I think

#

now I don't remember

young briar
#

Just want to know and what time left i need to re-apply

spice spire
#

It’s just 30% PogO

#

Idk timers off the top of my head

young briar
#

im bad at math

spice spire
#

Max rupture * 0.3

#

What’s the rupture timer

#

I can tell u on the spot

gilded oasis
#

28

young briar
#

well 28

spice spire
#

7.4?

gilded oasis
#

8.4

spice spire
#

8.4 whatever

#

I’m bad at math

#

Too

young briar
#

so at 8 secs left i wanna refresh?

spice spire
#

Kinda depends on when you rupture but

gilded oasis
#

yeah or less doesn't have to be right at 8, just not before

#

maybe

spice spire
#

There’s also wa that just kinda tell you

#

That’s why idk shit

young briar
#

thats what im doing, im making a WA package

spice spire
#

Glowy button mean press rupture instead of envenom

#

Yeah 8.4 works then

young briar
#

18 sec for Garrote

#

someone math for me pls

gilded oasis
#

18 * 0.3

spice spire
#

5.4

young briar
#

❤️

gilded oasis
#

also there are packs out there or do you enjoy making your own . you can also modify existing packs

spice spire
#

That one is in the command

young briar
#

I like making my own, i read bars much better than icons and i cant find one that suits me

gilded oasis
#

ok have fun then!

spice spire
#

I think @desert inlet has a pretty sick bar weak aura set

#

Shoot me if I’m wrong tho

gilded oasis
#

I think you might be able to convert them from icon to bar. You can also explore some and just take the way it works if you like what one is doing and dont want to recreate the wheel

spice spire
#

True

desert inlet
#

my bleeds are icons with glows for pandemic

spice spire
#

Damn

#

I know you used to have bars marking things. Sorry homie smoge

young briar
#

thats essentially what i did

gilded oasis
#

you were only half wrong

@slate crown

shy pecan
#

Can just ask and someone could answer

#

(Unless it requires custom code)

young briar
young briar
#

it works, but just to be able to publish it

young briar
#

oh no

balmy condor
#

Idk if there’s even custom code

#

That could save that

young briar
#

ive been yikes'd

balmy condor
#

Cause it’s hooking into the frames of the bar

#

It doesn’t really give a shit what’s in the slot

young briar
#

Can i make it give a shit?

balmy condor
#

I would assume not

#

Think of a grid or a chess board

#

Chess board you got like e4

#

That’s a space on the board

#

You decide to put garrote, or a bishop, onto e4

#

But weakauras doesn’t know that there’s a bishop on e4

#

It’s attaching the glow to the actual space

#

Not whatever is inside that space

shy pecan
#

Yeah, Whispyr's correct on that

young briar
#

yeah i get what you mean

#

Oh well, it works for me, i just thought about sharing it

balmy condor
#

If there’s code that could read it it would be insanely jank I would think

young briar
#

Basically makes garrote and rupture glow for the pandemic windows, Shiv to glow before expiration, and Thistle Leaf Tea to glow when theres 6 secs left on kingsbane

balmy condor
#

Like if there’s a way to read the value of an action bar slot, you could set up a hashmap, read the abilities out, then assign the glow back to the corresponding frame that you saved off

#

The problem is I’d be pretty surprised if the things needed to do that are accessible

shy pecan
#

I'm guessing there is

balmy condor
#

And if someone has an action bar addon?

#

Forget it

#

Lmao

#

That would be a frame from an addon then

young briar
balmy condor
#

Like yours is elvui bar6 button4

#

If I don’t have elvui, it would need to read a whole different set of bars

#

If I had bartender, it would need another whole different set

young briar
#

Yeah exactly, so my thought was in the "custom options" section, to just have a button to click with "Assign" next to it and then just click the frame for each spell

#

but im assuming thatd be impossible

balmy condor
#

Pfffffff….

#

Idk how powerful weakauras is in terms of making a selector like that

shy pecan
#

You could... Is it ideal? Eh...

balmy condor
#

But sounds pretty rough

#

That’s basically just the condition anyways

young briar
#

For example in the M+ Automark weak aura they got all this shit

shy pecan
#

Yeah, definitely more of a @slate crown question, but pretty sure it's not going to work as you want it to

balmy condor
#

Yeah but that’s just reading out the party frames

young briar
young briar
shy pecan
#

Yeah, the automark is different because it's going over the nameplates and unitframes and those are universal. This one you'd have to input like ElvUI or BT or the general Blizz one

#

for a casual user, they might not be smarter enought to what the specific name of the bar + keybinding would be. And if they change it...

balmy condor
#

It’s an interesting problem

shy pecan
#

It does exist because the Blizz UI can do it with procs and stuff

young briar
#

Can you see the utility the WA brings tho, to allow you to not have to think about timings, just pay attention to glows

balmy condor
shy pecan
#

Yep

balmy condor
#

I can’t think of an addon that actually stores info

#

They all just hook into the frames themselves

#

Kind of insane that the game even lets you get close to it though

#

Like think about how crazy it is that we’re even entertaining the idea

#

Wow addons kinda dummy powerful

young briar
#

just imagine doing content without addons

balmy condor
#

Honestly the personal resource bar thing they added ain’t bad

#

Dot specs still kinda fucked with debuff tracking

#

But aside from that

#

It’s kinda not terrible

royal lantern
#

its really just mostly dot based specs + some bosses in mythic raids that need them

slate crown
#

I just sat down am I still needed

slate crown
#

This trains you to play wack-a-mole

#

and not to anticipate and learn what to press with the class and know what's coming up and how to dynamically react

#

It's one of the main reasons I also hate hekili

#

That said, I see your post over there, most of what I would say Whispyr and raincoat dog has already covered, I think I've looked into this for something else (pulling action info from frames) for dynamically placing a Keybind text onto an icon

#

and found it was not possible, but let me review what I looked at before

slate crown
# young briar Yeah exactly, so my thought was in the "custom options" section, to just have a ...

Custom options can have a string input field, and presumably you can re-create this same field using custom condition code and region data to create an external glow frame. That's the starting point, but I'd need to dig into available functions WeakAuras provides to do this. If there is a simple region function that literally takes the frame name as input, you could pull the custom options config value into this and have it work. But, custom options could not have a selector button

shy pecan
slate crown
#

I'll try to be concise and keep each point short:

  1. You can instruct people to go and find their frames and enter it into the condition fields, which allows them to use the "Choose" button. I would advise against this because it is a maintenance nightmare (what if they move their buttons around because they're practicing different keybindings? and other problems).
  2. You can use a string in Custom Options if a function exists to glow external element in region data, I'd need to dive into available functions for that. This, however, has the problem of requiring people know how to find their frames, and expecting (or worse, instructing) them to use /framestack to do so is all sorts of error prone.
  3. There could be more you do by finding the right frame automatically but this assumes a ton of knowledge of other addon frame names (assuming they even name them) and is likely to be frowned down upon by the weakauras team. I won't add a conclusive answer on the WA discord because this is their terriority, they're likely to give you similar pushback.
young briar
#

But i see your point

#

i only use it for pandemic windows

slate crown
#

Yeah, my point is mostly about distribution for public use

#

if it works for you because you know the ins-and-outs, then that's great

young briar
#

Right in that instance yes very fair point

shy pecan
slate crown
shy pecan
slate crown
#

Yeah making the weakauras themselves glow is very standard and much, much easier to manage and maintain, far safer

#

Also like, I've made a pack as well and the thought of going into every. Single. Aura. and specifying a frame name in addition to all the other settings would be maddening

young briar
#

Exactly why i proposed the question 😄

slate crown
#

Just a ton to maintain and keep updated.

If there were a way to automatically detect which frames are which, then perhaps that would be something you could do, but then you've got decently complicated code in every aura which is bad for maintenance, and you should rather have a single, central aura which manages all the external glows at once so the code is centralized. This, again, makes that singular aura monstrously more complicated (because it now needs visibility on the status of all the other auras) for the tradeoff of making the individual ones more reasonable.

#

I've got more I can say but I'll cease the rant here.

gilded oasis
#

yeah careful if you say more than 5 words you get memed on

#

(I almost died to a spiteful to type that)

slate crown
#

It's ok, now I get to learn about external glow action functions for my own amusement as a result of this.

shy pecan
jaunty warren
slate crown
#

I can see it being possible to grab it, but it would be very complicated.

Also, what if you have the same button bound twice? Now the code is confused as to which to show.

runic hinge
oak tangle
#

Obviously this all hinges on you looking at your action bars for procs / pandemic

But why are just regular weakuras that track those abilities not just as useful.

I’d make the argument it’s far better to have your brain associate an ability to a button, than have to read the button number and press it

#

A lot of people no longer even have their action bars showing

#

I’m a lover of progress bars, because you have a way of easily seeing / predicting when you should do something. For instance in your example of tea and shivs, I have a progress bar show up for kb, basically like the one Le made but my own. Purple tick means shiv, white tick means vanish and green tick means tea

#

Just from practice, I know my vanish is on the f key, shiv is on q and tea is on x
