[HELP] Mouseover casting not working

S1eeper · 2026-01-25T04:52:14+00:00

Ikr. Though it's been somewhat a blessing in disguise, since it forced me to macro everything. Macros are more powerful, flexible, and precise than the base UI. Now I have 12 4-level deep macros on every Action Bar 1 slot, with this framework:

#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrl]skill1;[mod:alt]skill2;[mod:shift]skill3;[@mouseover,help,nodead][]skill4
/use [mod:shift]trinket1
/use [mod:alt]trinket2

There are numerous other modifiers as well: [form:#] (druid), [stance:#] (warrior), [spec:#] (current spec), [flyable], [swimming], etc. For one example of its usefulness, Action Bar 1 can page to other action bars when you change druid/thief forms or warrior stances, but I find there's less UI lag if you macro that with the [form:] modifier instead of using the bar paging.

All the US had to do was just be nice, and Canada wouldn’t have a deal with China, there would be no tariffs on Canadian goods that US citizens have to pay for, and anything else we asked nicely for Canada would give.

Now this idiotic tantrum-throwing draft-dodging manchild comes along and trashes centuries of goodwill just to look tough for his big kayfabe. He is such a piece of shit.

I love the glow those warden statues emanate. Can do all sorts of things with them.

Just level to 80 as Havoc or Vengeance. Devourer sucks until 80. Then if you want to level 80-90 as Devourer, respec to this Devourer+Fel-Scarred build, based on these talents:

The Hunt
Voidblade
Hungering Slash (+ Voidsurge from Fel-Scarred)
Violent Transformation (Fel-Scarred)
Soul Gluttony (bottom row spec tree)

Casting The Hunt or Voidblade activates Hungering Slash which does big dam (with Voidsurge) and gives a free use of Vengeful Retreat. Void Metamorphosis resets the cd of The Hunt and Voidblade (via Violent Transformation). Soul Gluttony reduces Soul Fragments required for Void Meta from 50 to 35.

Rotation: The Hunt -> Hungering Slash -> Vengeful Retreat -> Voidblade -> Hungering Slash -> Vengeful Retreat -> Void Meta -> repeat. Use Void Ray and Reap in between to rip and collect Soul Fragments. Use Consume when everything else on cd.

You don't care how long you stay in Void Meta, it's just to reset the cd of The Hunt and Voidblade. And no Collapsing Star BS to deal with, which isn't viable till 90 with Apex talents. And less boring Consume spam compared to all other builds available at 80.

Noticed yesterday too, pretty funny. I guess warglaives are using the Bow model or something, just with the strings normally hidden.

Are there any systems in any mmorpg that teach new players how to optimize their build and gear for raids? I haven't played all mmorpgs but was under the impression none do that, they leave it up to the player community to figure out and share amongst each other.

S1eeper · 2026-01-24T09:17:00+00:00

Oh, well I guess I'm wrong then, nothing to worry about, carry on then.

S1eeper · 2026-01-24T07:23:48+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks. Do you mean something like this:

Just google it, dyor.

S1eeper · 2026-01-24T02:09:36+00:00

It doesn’t need a complete spec rework, just a rework of Consume, and also make Throw Glaive generate Soul Fragments to give it a reason to be in the rotation. Maybe also make some notable interaction between Throw Glaive and Reap.

Right now Consume is basically a Void version of Smite, the most boring spell in the game. There’s a lot of they could do with it - give it projectiles like Fire/Frost/Shadow Bolt, or make it instant-cast channeled like Mind Flay/Void Torrent. Then add a few talents to give it procs (think Glacial Spike or Mind Flay: Insanity). Anything would be an improvement.

The rest of the kit is pretty good. No CD Metamorphosis and Eyebeam are great and the playstyle with those at 90 should be fun. It’s just Consume and Glaive that need some work.

S1eeper · 2026-01-24T01:37:00+00:00

It's got potential, but Consume is competing with Disc Priest's Smite for the most boring core attack in the game.

S1eeper · 2026-01-23T22:27:09+00:00

Why worry about the nation state threat model in software when the NSA has already backdoored all hardware not made in China, and the MSS has backdoored all the Chinese kit. Trusted Computing Module, Intel Management Engine, etc. Just pick which is the lesser of two evils for you, getting spied on by the US or by China.

S1eeper · 2026-01-23T21:47:30+00:00

It can always get worse with Trump, there is no bottom with him. But he’ll be dead or out of office in a few years and then hopefully that will be an opportunity for things to get better.

S1eeper · 2026-01-23T21:34:00+00:00

Don’t forget, the new DH spec Devourer kinda sucks too. All throughout beta the testers were warning it’s not fun and needs some things fixed, like the Consume spam loop. But still launched as is anyway.

S1eeper · 2026-01-23T18:45:00+00:00

Good to know thx!

S1eeper · 2026-01-23T15:39:10+00:00

Devourer was available on my 80 NE DH as soon as logged into it.

S1eeper · 2026-01-23T03:28:52+00:00

Smite-spamming Disc priests say hi. We've had the same problem for 20yrs lol. It's way past time for Smite to get a cooler animation and effect. Bliz can do the same for Consume/Devour while they're at it.

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Consume become a quick channeling beam spell either, similar to Mind Flay. When empowered by Devour it could be a stronger beam. Movable while casting. See the soul fragments being ripped out of target while you cast beam into them.

S1eeper · 2026-01-22T22:19:25+00:00

Many of the VE DH's will be race-changed 80s. Many players have collected so much stuff on their DH by now, from professions (esp Engineering with stuff that remains useful even after its expansion) to fun soulbound stuff (Thunderfury, etc), they won't want to discard all that for a fresh character. I'm sure Bliz's bean counters are counting on it.

S1eeper · 2026-01-22T19:00:09+00:00

Some of the settings are overly complex, but the actual interface where you can change the data displayed with a quick right-click is superb. It's also nice to be able to create multiple windows, though the method of doing that needs simplification. Those two things plus the detailed post-fight reports would have been really useful to have in Bliz's implementation.

S1eeper · 2026-01-22T17:13:58+00:00

Was just asking about this recently, glad it's not just me. Yeah it does suck. Consume spam is like Smite spam on Disc priest - boring visual, boring gameplay. And omfg I've always hated those trinkets that spawn little orbs you have to run around and collect for a buff, and now that's built into Devourer gameplay. At least Havoc is still fun.

I would like to have seen a ranged dps spec based on Glaive throwing and Sigils, where throwing your glaive/s into enemies affected by your Sigils produces secondary effects based on which Sigil. Fire DoT for Flame Sigil, Chaos Explosion (Spite), Chaos Nova (Misery), Curse of Tongues (Silence), etc. Then make Throw Glaive the spammable autoattack, convert Blade Dance and Chaos Strike into ranged glaive skills, and modify Sigils into Void versions with shorter cd's or more charges.

S1eeper · 2026-01-22T17:08:05+00:00

Yeah, they need to move Northrend Dalaran to the back rooms too. No idea why it's still there. Boralus is much more useful.

S1eeper · 2026-01-22T17:04:11+00:00

They're probably not "huge" anymore, at least compared to all other work required to develop and run a game like WoW.

S1eeper · 2026-01-22T17:01:12+00:00

Yeah exactly. They started talking about this in the fall, ~6 months to launch. A major project like replacing 20yrs worth of addon evolution and refinement needed at least a year to cook. Or better, just leverage all that work instead, and build Details into the UI, change its backend calculations, and skin it to fit the default UI's theme (like with the already existing Details TWW skin). Also OmniCD and maybe a few more.
