This Addon Does Your Rotation For You! Hekili Priority Helper
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- We found another addon thats going to do your rotation for you! This one was highly recommended from my last video where we cover hero rotation. Everyone kept telling me about Hekili and I finally gave it a try. Spoiler alert...it's great!
- Ігри
Let's hear em :D
why are you saying this is clearly better than hero rotation? I didnt get it from the video apart from the next 3 buttons, which imho is confusing if those next buttons will happen to change
legit half of echo and limit use this on their ui setups
@@seeks6272 Literally not one of them do. You probably saw a scrolling set of abilities on their screen and thought it's Hekili - it's not; it's a WeakAura showing you, the viewer, what they are casting. It is not telling THEM anything.
If it’s available use it . Don’t be the moral police
I liek being Mormon police though
this is wow players are terrible at the game.
If you aren't even learning the most basic mechanics of your class why are you playing at all?
@@Shiirow people will complain if they do trash dps and people will complain if they do alright dps with a crutch
@@Shiirowmate you can't even type a proper sentence. Pipe down 😂
I've been using Hekili for a while. Great addon to help to discover new specs / classes without being a total burden for your group / raid. But you're right, if you wanna really master a spec, Hekili won't help you on its own.
But it's a great tool to begin with.
Totally worth the try.
Couldn't agree more!
i'm curious how it doesn't help you master a spec. especially in priority based dps specs... seems like it would take the guesswork out of stuff.. unless it doesn't track CD's and procs... in that case, your comment makes sense..
@@jamesballerstein4046 Doesn't help you " master " a spec because even if the addon tells you what to do, it's not always " the right " option. For exemple, it tells you that your cd are available, but it won't tell you " WHEN " use it. That's the difference
@@jamesballerstein4046 Im using Hekili on my outlaw. Have 6/9 Mythic clear and have 98% Logs with Hekili on all bosses. 3.3k Rio in m+ and i outdps everyone with it.
Im just following rotation from hekili and it pumps.,
@@Na_kahI mean learning when to CD is easier for me than learning when to press an ability 2 times in a row and when to press it 3 times.
Even when I learned my rota it didn’t make a major diff and I’d say I’ve dealt less damage.
Been using Hekili since before Shadowlands was launched and I just love it. The only really negative thing with it is that it is easy to just focus on the icons on the screen and then miss things happening around you. Specially in raids and world bosses. Apart from this it is a brilliant addon, at least for beginners or people learning a new spec.
yeah its super useful
Yep, this. I've used different addons like this for various expansions, including maxdps back in the day. Funnily enough I've been using Hero Rotation since seeing your last video and using it to hit the top of damage meters ever since, but... you do get super dialed into focusing on that one spot on the screen so it does build bad habits like that. I can say that it has genuinely helped me build muscle memory for my spec so when I don't use the addon, my rotation is less optimal but I can still probably do it with my eyes closed. Gotta min/max though :). ..also, I dip in and out of retail, so having those training wheels is handy after a few months off.
after sometime you get use to it tho and it all just becomes one with the dungeon or raid
Even Airline Pilots have a co-pilot and modern electronics to assist. They don't just "Wing It" to the next airport. And the passengers appreciate it!
Hekili is a great guide type addon. It is by no means perfect. It makes some strange suggestions at times. It's better for some classes than others. But my DPS went up 30% the first time I used it. So it is definitely helpful especially for the more complicated classes.
Totally agree
Addons like this are great training tools, for new players, returning players, or players wanting to improve their skills.
Not everyone is gifted with the ability to have an efficient rotation without some training.
well said
I fit your post. It's helped a lot not only in getting back to how to play the game, but for learning new classes as well. I would argue that it doesn't give you everything fit the rotation. Also, for those using on players using this, are they using DBM?
Thank you as a new player, here to learn the learning curve has been so high and I hope this helps.
No worries!
Thank you for showing this addon to me, i just picked up a new character and your vid came in clutch to help me out thank you and have a nice day!
Glad I could help
I was a brand new player in in Pre-patch for Shadowlands basically. I was trying ALL the classes to figure out what I liked. I ended up loving the DK and Unholy was just toooo much for me to learn. Once I found a DPS addon I tried Unholy again and it made the class and spec my absolute favorite in the entire game. I was having so much fun, and learned rotations by muscle memory and understanding when and why. I got to the point where I could play without it. Which is what I did! I think this addon is practically essential for new/returning players. It makes learning so much more fun and easier
Well said!
Dk are awesome 😎
Yeah same for me on rogue, i just couldn't figure it out but when i used a rotation addon i finally figured it out and it was cracked.
Awesome video tbh! I've always wanted to use a tool like this to fully make us of the class I'm playing at it's full potential and was trying to improve by reading the skills myself and watching guides etc. The thing is: Yes, sure I am reading my skills and trying to understand the syngeries, but this is so overwhelming and time consuming if you just want to try out new builds/classes/specs. I finally can try new things and don't have to feel bad, because I total get that you want to use an addon like this for helping you get into the rotations and different situations and not because you're lazy and just hit the buttons that the addon is throwing at you. It's an awesome and quick way to learn the game/class!
Thanks
😊
Been using this everytime I return to wow. As almost always, there are some new abilities ect. Its been great help to help brush up on rusty muscle memory
This is a thank you comment to help with ur youtube channel algorithm. I've got nothing but love for you buddy. thanks for the video ;)
anytime :D
Love to hear addons like this helps new players learn the way of WoW if they are serious about it. Keep up the work love to see it.
Thanks, will do!
*As a person with one of every race and at least one of every class, this is perfect. I have a main, but I like to play my alts from time to time.*
I use these types of add-ons as a sanity check - when I am doing my rotation, if I notice it's suggesting something else, I'll look later on and work out *why* it was suggesting something different. Sometimes, I see why and have a good reason I wasn't doing what they suggest - but sometimes they shed light on a mechanic or synergy I was unaware of, and I can incorporate that into my muscle memory.
as someone who watches guides and its just too much to take in all at once, coupled with a low attention span, this is a great option for learning what moves work in different situations without getting bored and giving up on mastering the class. not everyone learns the same way, and not everyone can learn from the long format how to guides that are all but required for the in depth explanations people give.
Noob question, can you use it before 50 to learn how to play a class whilst leveling?
@@senseipoole9324 I'm 5 months late but yeah you can
Thanks this what I need for my new Frost Mage!! Loved the video.
Glad you enjoyed!
I have never used or seen these add-ons. " Training wheels" I think is a perfect explanation. I will use this with my ele shaman that I'm trash at.
I've never been an alt guy, but I found out about this a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. My method is:
- Look up written guides
- Compare with UA-cam vids
- Go in-game with this addon and play a while with the ST and AoE dummies
- Look at the procs and buffs I get
- Look for patterns in the rotation
- Try and figure out WHY the addon wants me to press a certain button at a certain time
The new talent system has a search box too which is really handy for looking up and figuring out why it wanted you to use a certain ability, usually because of a talent you've picked that proc'd.
I do tend to go into the addon and disable defensive CDs and trinkets BUT I do enable Major Cooldowns because sometimes you want to press those in a certain order. E.g. 2x Wrath THEN big CDs once you are in Eclipse on Balance Druid.
I also like this addon because sometimes you have so many things off CD and flashing you don't know which is the highest priority. A lot of classes are very reactive and dynamic so they don't always have a set rotation. Outlaw rogue is probably one of the hardest I've tried and couldn't play it at all without this addon (so I stopped, I don't like staring at the addon to play the game).
Yeah its a really great tool.
Ditto - I drop Outlaw after it was introduced and went asassin to this day, but now I may go back to it. I've done your first 3 lines of suggestions for years that's why I turned to hekili recently to put it all together, otherwise I was just mashing what I could remember not really knowing why or what for.
As a new player to WoW, this addon has been incredibly helpful for learning the basics of various classes while i'm trying to work out what class to "main"
It is a good tool to use as a baseline to help create a better rotation. After you got the basics down, it should be easier to keep developing an ideal rotation. The downside is, that it is a distraction that can take your eyes off the target(s)-and or-hazards. Even though it's just a split second, sometimes that split second is all it takes to win or lose 🤔
Good video 👍
Absolutely!
Love it. I play casually and play a bunch of different chars mostly solo so this helps brush up or relearn the character. I can see how hard-core people might have a say but get a life.
Hey thanks for stopping by!
Anything that helps bridge the gap between not having a clue and figured it out is a good thing. it's on the user to take the training wheels off, people need to stop blaming a tool and remember there is no shame in learning.
Well said
Your last video was great! I have many alts but am always nervous to play them because I don’t know the rotations. Your video was the final push in me picking back up some of my alts since Legion! And I stopped using the add on once I understood the rotation
Glad you like them!
Can’t wait to try I appreciate you been away from the game awhile could use the help lol
I haven't played wow since wotlk so as a returning played I'm dealing with a lot of changes and this will make it easier for me to get into it, thanks for the video my man!
Anytime
This can really help learn what ability to use when you aggro multiple mob and such after a while u wont notice it
As an adult who only could play 1x at weekends or every second weekends I'm happy for this addon, because I do not have time to learn rotations, but I want to enjoy the raids as most as possible !
Thank you so much for the video !
I have used Hekili for years. Not worried about "bad habits". It's just a rotation reminder at this point. Folks complain too much.
Yeah people have a very strange attitude on it.
Exactly, what the naysayers forget is that Hekili only makes suggestions, you don't have to follow them.
I've being playing WoW Classic since 2019 and everytime I come back to Retail just to test the new class mechanics I was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff. Of course, my 2 main specs (Elemental and Blood) are easy to pick up since even if you got new stuff, the essence of the class is still the same, but other classes that I didn't play that much and I might enjoy are way annoying to get used to. This addon was a life saver, I still read every single talent, but I don't get lost in all this new information for a returning player. Pretty good video and addon, thanks.
I think this addon is amazing for any disabled players or people that have a hard time physically keeping up or that mentally stress easily.
Yeah it's a really great tool.
Like people with autism
I have autism and for me this addon a great help for less stress and incentives. I tried for a long time the rotation its to mich for me. So this addon takes it all away
i actually would really like this addon! one thing that keeps me out of classes is keeping all the rotation abilities in my head. this will help jump back into classes I haven't played in a long time or have never played and make sure im doing the rotation right. you hit the nail on the head, disable it when you are good and updated/refreshed.
Yeah it's super helpful
Great addon (Hekili) to learn viable rotations. Who ever built this addon spent a lot of time learning different specs, spells / abilities and scenarios in which to use what spell. There are a few things to improve but for the biggest part it's really customizable. It is designed with max DPS in mind but it is not cut in stone. It allows for the unforeseen when you have to cast something that breaks your rotation then it calculates the best options to stear you back to your rotation without crashing your DPS, so it's more than just a learning tool it is in fact a helper. One of the improvements I'd suggest is the ability to tell it which spells to NOT SUGGEST, meaning that it reads your keys 1 through = and TRINKET USE thus will attempt to use all of them, which is good if you use a lot of spells / abilities with cool downs , it gives you at least some DPS while waiting for your cool downs. But there are annoyances with the trinkets. Some trinkets have uses but no DPS benefits and it will factor them in. There is no way currently to drop them from the rotation if you don't want to use them or you want to save them for emergency / special situations. If that happens it's not that hard to learn to skip the first suggestion and use the 2nd which will often drop the skipped one and recalculate a new path. But that is something you must train your mind to do and it IS annoying. You can drop a list with spells / abilities you don't want it to use but it only allows for one and trinkets are usually not on the list. When DF began and I didn't know what I was doing, Hekili helped improve my DPS in most characters 300 - 400%. It won't be the same for everyone or every class or even every spec but it could very well be helpful. It also factors in spells / abilities that have an enhancing effect on other frequently used spells, or that resets cool downs on frequently used spells. All you need do is to have them hot-keyed in. Another thing that needs work is the icons. I am a visual person and match my icons with my spells and I have run across some spell icons that don't match anything I use, or that are in my spell book, what's up with that? It doesn't happen often but it does happen and when it does it has the potential to crash DPS with you trying to find that spell for that Icon. But if you are not one who matches icons to spells, it will have the key number that spell is hot keyed to shown. This is a great tool even with the minor imperfections.
They didn't learn the spec to make this addon, the whole rotation it's based on simc apl they just copy and paste it.
i used this ad-on cuz i had no idea proper rotations were a thing. i would just spam whatever was available. i think its good for people like me who just need to learn the game completly. i will say staring at 3 icons makes pay attention to the raid pretty difficult. so theres that
Yeah I guess it depends on what spec your playing too.
I have been playing since vanilla and with how many choices and changes there now I find I can't multi class like I used too. This add-on is a greater helper. Some classes I don't use it anymore, but when I wanted to learn sub rogue it was awesome
Couldn't agree more
As a new player trying to learn tanking this addon is amazing
awesome video btw
Glad I could help
it sucks on tanks tbh u need reactivity and knowledge of fight instead of a simple damage rotation
Been using Chedster's weakaura for years which does a very similar thing but he has since ceased to update his work. I've managed to get by in the recent patches but I know I'm not nailing my rotation like I used to. I don't have the time to play much let alone try and keep up with all the constant changes to talents, rotations ect so stumbling across this video was like a gift from the gods! I've installed the addon, selected what I want it to show me and re-positioned the icons ...Whalahh! For me, brilliant, but I get how some people don't like it, call it cheating/lazy/lame. Each to their own I guess. It means I can now just jump on any character I have and start playing/learning without delays and enjoy the game immediately with the little free time I have.
Thanks StillSolo, liked and subbed :)
Great points and thanks!
This is a great addon for somebody like me. I'm blind in one eye and don't have great peripheral vision, so it's great to have a visual helper.
People complain about laziness of the addon, but how many of them use DBM, TomTom and Handynotes? Yeah, that's what I thought.
You're not wrong
Thanks for the video! I play every class and spec and having this addon available is great, no way I can remember every ability and when to use it.
No problem!
Exactly!
ty very much maistro :) I am thinking off trying some of my 13 alts, and I just cant be a genius on them all, I got my main sorted out, but this will surely help learning some of the alts rotations better :)
No problem :)
I like to use it because I'm on the autism spectrum and struggle to memorize certain rotations and what not. I'm wired in a way that what should make sense doesn't quite ''click'' for me. Having a visual aid helps me perform by standards. Sure, some might call it a crutch, but I don't need to be on the top of the chart anyway.
It helps me keep up, that's all I need.
Hekili is great, i'm often playing 8-10 alts around 1800 rating in arena solo shuffle, so remembering how they all play is not the easiest, it means I can focus more on the def cooldowns, offensive stuns/interrupts, what the other team is doing and not lose place in what is the current highest priority spells and/or spells off cooldown.
If I was playing 2-3 of my best known classes or a healer, I would have no use for it.
I used it while picking up boomkin for the first time, it’s been a huge help. While I understood what I needed to be doing from guides, this helped me keep my rotation clean under pressure and start getting a feel for when I need to start casting starfire as I’m coming out of an eclipse, for example. While I don’t pay much attention to it anymore because I’ve learned what needs to be done, I do still have it on to keep an eye on my dots for me bc it’s easier to see at a glance that the other UI elements I have currently.
i needed it lol
i needed this lol
I can't raid raid ability cooldowns to run at all, damn, I am jealous! Great video, thank you for sharing with us!
You're welcome!
Ty I will be using this specifically because I would like to focus less on memorizing my rotation and more on my positioning and mechanic knowledge❤
WoW has a number of specs that are traditionally more difficult to learn than others, but are fun as hell once they're mastered, like Outlaw Rogue and UH DK. But they do have a lot of CDs to remember to upkeep and it can get super chaotic, especially in a boss fight. I've been learning specs the manual way for 14 years, but now that I want to tap into the game's harder specs, a little assistance isn't a bad thing.
people complaining, forget that addons like this make this game so much more accessible to everyone.
Good video, i have not play wow for ever and that is going to help
Definitely helped with my tank anxiety knowing what buttons to hit to get somewhat decent dos and keep threat
I havent had much testing with tanks and this addon. I imagine its just going to help you with your "dps" as a tank and not so much using defensives right?
@@stillsolo it has options for it, i'm still getting used to keeping track of everything on the damn screen xD
This addon is legit the only reason I ever played all classes and specs and then finally found a few I like. I used it for a couple of months to get really good with 2 specs and then finally got rid of it. I wouldn't use it forever because you are just looking at it 100% of the time. But it really helps build muscle memory which takes a few months.
Rotation helpers are awesome as long as you don’t solely rely on them blindly. They help teach you the fundamentals but you need to ask why the priority is what it is and when it is what it is. Rotation helpers don’t understand every moment like pull from pull in m+. And sometimes you’ll waste three globals. You need to learn a class and its rotation, all of its resources and utilities.
True
As an altoholic this addon is great for refreshing how to play a certain spec/class! And people complaining about the addon when it's optional and 33.3mil people don't have an issue 😂
Its great for alts
I'm a veteran player and still struggle with my rotations so seeing that there is addons like this does make my feel better about running endgame content and not stressing to much
Glad it helped
Great video, I play the warrior/pally/DH which I dominate but suck on other classes that I just leveled, the addon did improved my play on the classes I don't know well or don't play often..by a lot, this was a marked improvement.
thanks! and im glad it works out well for you
Well done!! Thanks for the honest approach, which earned you a new sub! People in this game are always going to whine and cry about something, or tell us how wonderful they are. 😒😂
Much appreciated!
Awesome vid thanks.
That's that ui u are using I want it as well looks more modern😁
I'm using the default ui now
I use the addon because it simpifies my interface, rather than looking to see what on/off CD and having to take the item to look at my interface every few seconds..
When you said about using the addon, learning a rotation/getting use to it and disabling it and looking into guides.. I would like people to try that with Deadly Boss Mod..
I use it and i am amazing at my class, just makes things so much easier and more fluent.
I play healers mostly and forget DPS rotation when playing a dps spec so this helps me alot
I'm glad it helps! It's really useful
Please don’t stop posting these. I love wow but hate how much I have to focus. I just want to do damage with bright colours and see high dmg numbers. This is an amazing addon.
I wouldn’t of discovered this without you. Please post more of this kind of stuff
No problem 😊
I just started using this and holy…..wish I picked it up earlier. Personally as a hunter my rotation is easier then other classes (thank god) but its how it knows what skill is coming off cd and what is about too come off cd which makes this addon op for any class. The way it tracks cds to use will help even the best players.
Glad you are enjoying the addon!
I’m a brand new player I want to learn the rotation with this and then optimize it without the add on I think this will be great
I know this is a Retail video but i use it in Cataclysm Classic i have 10 lvl 85s (all different classes) and danm, this addon was a blessing.
I feel i'm able to play them decently while just jumping in, and then i get the hang of it again quickly, however if things get kinda hectic it is nice to just look at it and be like "Damn my Unstable Affliction fell off" ect and instantly refresh it. Noticed massive DPS/Tanking DPS with this, i even saw i had not key binded "Feral Charge" for my Guardian Druid, it is alot to dig into having 10 x 85s so i love this Addon.
Would recomend having it as a safety net, i'm notoriously bad at keeping uptime on dots, and if you want you can even edit priority in the addon (kinda cluncky but doable.)
Also ReforgeLite holds a special place in my heart on all my Characters being able to instantly get the best use of all secondary stats while maintaining hit/expertise caps (or set your own caps). ReforgeLite helps me see what secondary is the best for every spec in the game, kinda hard to remember all specs but nice to have it also as a safety net.
I dont use this myself, but i did install it for my brother, he is disabled and has his own challenges, this lets us play together without him becoming really discouraged that hes not helping, and it makes the experience alot better for me and my freinds that group with him, it has a place.
This seems great for those confused by class guides/just wants to play an alt without learning each individual spec in real time.
Plus, people using this MIGHT perform better than without it. This will make anything you need to queue for a little smoother.
its amazing, i havent played in 1 year, started new class/70boost. and iam not even lowest dps now in most dungeons/raids
I've been strulling as fire mage for so long. Watched thousands of videos and guide and I still suck with him. Probably will give this a try to see if I can finally learn the class or not.
It helped my memorize the rotation inspect why I'm pressing what I'm pressing and when it's like a guitar tutor really just helps me be a better player I'm getting older a may not have the time to watch 30 mins videos how to play
Glad it's helping you out
Addons like this I think are good few new players or very casual players who have not played a particular spec before.
I have looked at several videos on rotation and it gets complex super fast. There is no middle ground on rotation, its either perfect and everyone is happy or its in the toilet followed by Sh...t comments from party members about dps.
Having an addon to keep you at least at "normal" dps (not the elite maxed dps) makes everyone happy. Your party members only care that your pulling your weight and are making progress. Thank you for this content....some of us are not perfect and we need addons like this.
Interesting!
I use it for some specs, but I'm a casual player and don't care about min/max. The downside with this is it won't tell you the why only what to press. If your going to master your class you need to know why you press a certain button when. If you set it up to do so I will also have you use defensive abilities and your CD's.
Very true
I've used this, and yes it does work really well. I was playing Unholy DK in Vault of the Incarnates and I was regularly in the top 5 DPS of my raid group, despite having never played DK prior.
As a returning player after not playing for over ten years, I completely forgot how to play any of my classes. I stopped playing after MoP. With the level squish, all my characters were in noob gear and I pretty much felt like a new player trying to learn the ropes again. With so many changes over the years, this add on has been very beneficial getting back into the swing of things and learning rotations again. I still feel so lost though. I'm so behind on everything and feel so overwhelmed.
Just take it one step at a time there is no rush
Same here in the same position!
I love this ❤❤❤
I like the layout of your addons, what are you usually running to get your hud to look like that?
I use elvui
Used MaxDPS add on this entire expansion and love it. Even recommendations defensives for tanking.
Thx for the video , I love your font
Hey thanks!
Been using Hekili for a long time, was able to push to 3k rating and further during s2, and previous seasons always been in top 1%
The Hekili addon is FANTASTIC! With the overhaul of the skill system and leveling being so much faster, this addon wildly reduces the amount of time it takes to play a new class.
It used to take a lot more time to memorize each skill's function, put it in the right order on your keyboard, stare at your cooldowns, and remember your rotation when switching from one alt to the next.
When you want to complete daily quests on a half a dozen characters, that's a lot of rotations to remember and adjust to on-the-fly. This addon helps to remind the player, if they need help.
It's great
Sounds good. I will check it out
I downloaded it before your video was done, lol. I have been trying to learn demon hunter tank(vengeance) and have no idea what the rotation should be. My guild is always looking for a tank for M+, and that should be me, but you can't learn how to tank on an M+ 14 lol. This addon should help. Thanks for the content.
I use Gse because I have health problems and I'm old. This addon I love because it shows you when to interupt which i manually have to press. People wil complain about anything if things are working to your liking don;t worry what they say:)
Love the vids and appreciate them. I am going to use this add on because I am a returning player and need to get back into the swing of things. After a couple months I stop using them because my muscle memory is back and I am able to follow the flow of the game.
However....I must ask.... what is that add on that marks your character with the green + sign.... I think I need that.
Thanks for the kind words! That green plus sign is a weakaura. wago.io/MYf6wLeEv
Training wheels is probably the best way i've heard hekili described.
😆
This is great for me as a new huntard
This is good for people like me just starting out playing wow I need this lol
Welcome to the game!
I like these types of addons.
I wish they would add to the game so your character does the rotation for you, but not perfect, so its not mid maxed but is good enough where you then later on could start implementing each ability on your own.
If you ever played RuneScape 3 you know what I am talking about... It helped me in RS3 to learn how to use my abilities and when to do so.
Also StillSolo... Ignore the hate, you are doing a good job with these addon videos and its just sad to see so many people gate keeping the game because they want to feel like they are the best and get pissed if there is anything like an addon to help new players or even returning players like myself.
Have used Hekili and GSE (advanced macro) add ons for years. They make classes accessible to new players and can help inform your bindings very quickly. From there, if you're inclined, you can work on mastering and tweaking the rotation yourself. And if you're not inclined, well then you probably weren't all along. The addon helps more than it hurts, is how I see it!
I return to wow 1 week ago and addons like this help me a lit becose a lot things change since shadowlands ,and i always have some dificult in make the right rotation ,so for ma is awesome , i use it in shadowlands ,but now i dont have it yet ,but today i go put this addon for sure.
Welcome back!
Can’t wait to use this later, I’ve come back to WoW from FF14, where the latter rotations are much simpler and less situation reliant than WoW (I also main sub rogue) so this is perfect to get back into it.
Glad I could help!
This addon would benefit much older players in the 50+ range, for sure.
used hekili since legion
I also have every class at 70 working it to get to 480 ilevel and at least 2500 io on each class, im almost done with it!
its all thanks to this addion.
alot of ppl love to hate this addon but they dont realize how much it can much of a difference for certain players.
many of my friends love to hate on this addon but as time goes by, they seen a ton of success me using this addon.
not sure if people know this but you can toggle off and on for your cd if you need to save your cd but you need to remember to turn it back on, otherwise you will feel your dps is low lol
since im used to watching the addons, my awareness on mechanics were significantly higher because i dont have to think about my rotation while doing mechanics AND running at the same time to keep my uptime. of course you still need to know whats your instant cast while moving but yea.
I was one of the highest dps back in Battle of dazalor when achieved CE for it ( i know its one of the easier one but still an achievement mekkatorque mythic was a huge killer for my raid)
I was able to perform really well on dps and tanks with this addon.
Dont let the naysayers tell you not to use it, give it a try
for me i love to know my single and my aoe rotation addon instead, theres an option that allows you to put dual and its what i use. The auto one is by default and not always reliable for me.
for this season, my most successful specs were demo,, destro( ST only and raids with no aoe) survival( make sure to position yourself correctly with bomb cones), feral, VDH(dont always use fel spike when add on tells you to, requires good knowledge when is the good time to use it), prot war, ret and WW
I heard BM is really good too but havent tried. Unholy used to be insane af back in legion using this addon but now its not super reliable
prot pally is good but still requires of a bit of knowledge and addon for consecration making sure you are still in it or when it expires. and having enough holy words for healing when needed
WARNING THOUGH, certain spec is still not good with this addon such as fire spec but thats imo
No negative comment from me. I definitely try it. I play many Alts and get confused with the rotation sometimes. This Addon will help me, for what I see in the Video, thank you !!!
There is a reddit post(How good is Hekili topic) where someone is explaining how to setup this addon properly. That person is consistently doing +23 m+ and mythic raids with Hekili and it does its job perfectly fine. Considering how many things we have to get into consideration during m+ or mythic raids, having tool like this helping us is a good thing. Not everyone has perfect perception to catch every detail happening on his screen.
Thats pretty cool!
I found and used heliki in DF s1 . I got basically every portal and went 5/8M parsing blue/purple and soley followed the addon.
I used Ovale Spell Priority back in the day and I can't begin to tell you how useful it was in helping me become a better overall player. It also improved my situational awareness without too much of a sacrifice to dps.
I would much rather have someone err on the side of caution and use this addon if it meant they brought more dps to the raid than pretend to think that they're hot s**t only to come up short.
The only caveat I have is that it's useless for healers but I admit that I could be wrong about that.
It helps me adjust my focus bar when I play Hunter. The order it gives me is always geared towards filling my main skill. That's why I like hekili, other than that it's not the same with other specs. I play better when I improvise on the others. Hunter is already an easy character. It's only good to follow your basic skills.
as someone who enjoys playing Feral druid, i could see myself using this as a tool to find out where in my rotation i can improve. i wouldnt use it long term, just to tighten up a few spots and get timings down.
Great video! Thank you
You are welcome!
