Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
It would of been still at 40 man raids. I remember using a mod to help with dispels in Molten Core. In TBC though we dropped to 25 and it became much easier to ditch some aids. In wotlk we ran a dedicated 10 man the entire expansion and it was fantastic. Heroic 10 man stuff was a ton of fun.

And this is a problem... why?
No. The guy watching the fight is doing the same DPS as the guy doing his laundry. He's not winning the fight, because winning the fight should not be about doing the DPS.
Because winning the fight is all about doing the top DPS, and not doing the top DPS makes you lose the fight due to the enrage. Am I right?
Side note: People are talking about non-set rotations, which is something that's different. When I was playing, the rotation was all about the routine. Place these three dots in order, repeat casting this spell until it's time to refresh dot #1, then cast, then refresh dot #2, and so on. It had zero decision, it was all about how well you mastered the routine. Then, the difficulty was you had to react while maintaining this routine, and failure to react led to death, and failure to maintain the routine... well, led to the enrage timer, and death.
Anyway, to summarize the thing about good vs bad gameplay: If your gameplay could be performed better by an add-on, and the only thing preventing that is because the designers decided to lock that function, then it's not a game, it's about imitating a robot, and how close you can get to it. Which, I supposed, some people like.
It's about being a gamer vs being a player. Do you want to play the piano, or doing a game?
Eh. It used to be you could just get the gear with the most +spellpower, flask up and spam 1.

I had mine just put an icon by my feet when they were close to running out or missing. I never had to look at my hotbar for anything.
It's all about just presenting the same information in a less cluttered manner.

The only addons i've ever used in wow was a dps meter, Grid for my healers and DBM for awhile. I always found it mind blowing that healers needed shit like click or whatever to function. Bads i say, bads!
Although I really would like to get an addon for my rogue that displays my combo points kind of like the weakaura/aura addons. That shit is super annoying looking up into the top left corner 75% of the time to see how many combo points I have lol

I use xperl, dbm, recount, bartender4, and a rune display mod on my DK.
I'm considering dropping xperl soon but I like being able to resize my UI and so on. I only recently got dbm when I started trying some normals with my guild. Definitely not necessary as a tank.

I noticed in recent levelling of my alts through MoP that whereas I did every zone and every quest in said zones with my first character a year ago, my Shaman hit 90 last week after only doing part of Jade Forest and then Valley of the Four Winds and a bit of Kun Lai Plains. So either through more mob killing with less of a crowd or some other effect it was pretty darn easy to get him up there.

I think the only add-on that would majorly fuck with me if I was missing it at this point is unit frames (or an add-on to move the target, health and buff bars). Everything else I could turn off and be within 95% of (my) optimal play.
Got my 4 piece this weekend finally so now I won't feel compelled to run SoO LFR.

I've honestly just gone back and made a fresh lock with heirloom gear and plenty of money. I'm playing a race i've never played before(goblin). I'm trying to do EVERYTHING(TS'ing, archeology, cooking, fishing, odd quests, pvp, etc). I haveDrunk Minecraftplaying on my second monitor, instead of the now boring WoW music. It's honestly a lot of fun, lol. I actually look forward to getting off work and playing like I used to.

After years of off and on with xperl, I'm using shadowUF now, so much better.

So now that 5.4.1 hit live realms, it's time to ask if anyone wants to get RAF'ed. If you're interested in getting recruited, send me a message and I'll hit you up. I'm on Arygos-US, Alliance (but I believe there is no obligation for you to also play Alliance or even on same realm).

Come hang out with me on Whisperwind. It's the most populated PvE Alliance server without queue times ( Stormrage being the other with evening queues ) our battlegroup is pretty good although we are in with the Latinos. Obligatory GO MERICA!
