What classes benefit the most from the single button assistant?

Is this feature worth it? what classes benefit the most from it?

[Tyris Flare]

What do you mean "worth it?" You mean who does it penalize the least?

The rotation assistant (which OBR is based on) is really bad for a lot of specs, especially in AE. I believe (could be wrong) that they even said they don't want the rotation manager to be as good/accurate/useful as hekili.


That said, 95% of content in this game is trivial so its good enough for most players

Most wowhead guides tell you what the dps loss is for one-button and rotation assist.

If you are asking this question yes the feature is worth it for you

For people with disabilities? Yes, very much worth it.

what classes benefit the most from it?

Considering 1-button-rotation adds I think 0.5 seconds to the global cooldown, then the more instant-cast abilities a class has in their rotation, the less DPS they'll do compared to someone executing the rotation manually.

So, melee classes are usually the ones that benefit less from the feature. Spellcasters usually get less DPS penalties out of it.

But you're not going to be competitive with the feature, just to make it clear.

Noone, since you loose dps. Just put some effort in yourself and learn how to play without that. Im a vanilla player and i learned by the hard way. Nowadays you have a lot of cool and well done guides for everything, so you dont need of that child bs

Well...not proud of my friend who said his dps on the damage meters went up when using the one button rotation AND he was even top dps in some battlegrounds.

So that could mean a lot of people thing that one button rotation is below their standards, think they do great but actually suck. Also, like other rotation helpers, it will tell you always to blow a CD at the start of any fight, when in reality you want to save it for special fights. In Hekili for example you could manually sort abilities to only be used on boss fights for example. No idea if the one button assist allows that as well - if it does, it requires a basic understanding of your class and spells and you might as well go back to square 1 and not use it.

I wouldn't take this crutch into raids or mythic+ but if you just want to be really lazy doing your dailies / levelling or you play an alt / specc that you are clueless about and don't care to learnetc...sure, why not.

It's worth it for players who benefit from it.

Classes that would benefit from it are those with the most abilities in their rotation or which have the most complex gameplay.

It isn't customizable at all and doesn't use CDs. It is, by design, much worse than hekili

It's probably better to compare Assisted Highlight and Hekili.
The single-button assistant is a different thing.

Well the assistant is the same ability list as the OBR, just with the GCD penalty. So if the assistant is bad, the OBR will be even worse.

To me the big (great) thing about Hekili was that it shhowed you a suggestion for the next 3 spells. Giving me an idea based on the progress of the fight what made sense.

Ah well...I survives WoW 2005 without it and I will live without it these days.

It is a funny meme, but I learned how to "upgrade" from a clicker to a player with keybinds and mouse. But..no. Not everyone should do it, because I did. Just saying that for me it was worth it.

One button assist didn't exist back then. It does now. Fine by me...use it, if it works.

Is it worth it?

Yes – if everyone is using it. There are no losers – except if you stand in the fire.
Yes – if you are just exploring and farming legacy, or if you are playing many alts. It's amazing.

No – if you are even a little bit competitive. Also, over time the classes will receive more abilities, so the total lost time from GCD will stack even more. I believe this is one of the reasons for why they have simplified the spellbook. However - you can expect to perform worse and worse over time, with each ability added to the rotation.

You also don't have any mastery - people will simple read and react better, when they know thier class inside out(automatic vs. manual car OR numb vs. alert - wrum wrum).

It's not sustainable for any challenge and it's very clear.

Hekili never had the single button function though, only the suggested next ability like the assisted highlight.

The assisted highlight is totally ok for what it’s supposed to do

Destruction Warlock: When hardcasting many spells, the penalty is less noticeable. But the spell logic is not always there.

[Semune]

Ret paladin is pretty good, especially in AOE. In AOE situations you will do just about as much DPS as manually playing. ST is a larger difference for sure.
