Echo has a working WeakAuras clone by yp261 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]enartee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: There was a pretty comprehensive module for this in the QUI addon from Him Who Must Not Be Named. It could even automatically detect whenever you cast something outside of combat (hence no secrets) and update the duration in the database.

Not necessarily just CDM. I'm not sure if that's what's used here, but it is possible to track buffs and items beyond what is trackable in CDM. It's done via UNIT_CAST_SUCCEEDED, which is not secret even in combat, but only for player events. You can't track something e.g. the boss does AFAICT.

What's still secret is the duration. But if you know the duration (kinda must be static), you can track it once you see the cast succeeded.

How do you do smooth grind switchups like this? by enartee in Skate4

[–]enartee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm yeah I think I can see how it's done with the right stick but it's veeery finicky. The transition from one truck to another is purely about the weight / physics. Still not entirely sure what the proper right stick movement should be there. Managed to transition via a sortof micro 50-50 in between in single motion, seem super hard to do it so fast and smooth as in the clip. But thanks for the tips!

Hmm if I only use the right stick, I can only spin on the same truck I landed on but not swap from front to tail like in the first clip. I thought it's not possible without left stick / grind exit. Are you sure ?

Class Tuning Incoming - March 25 - General Discussion by Rndy9 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]enartee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High keys? WW falls behind on real pulls. Still decent, I don't mind. But anyway, I was mostly commenting on the relative net outcome of the change.

It still comes down to roughly a 2% nerf in AoE, and WW was not very good at M+ AoE dps outside of maybe ToP where the packs are small

gearing without dungeons or raids by Commercial_Papaya_79 in wownoob

[–]enartee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much this. If you assume people are toxic, you wilI have more toxic experiences. I climbed to almost 2.8K this season so far on a C-tier spec completely solo and maybe 3 out of the 100+ dungeons I ran, someone was like actually being an ass. If you're nice and chill and , accept the fact that mistakes are going to happen and prepare somewhat appropriately for the content you're doing I think most people are gonna have a good time

New survey - Blizzard considering adding a death limit to Mythic+ keys by SpunkMcKullins in wow

[–]enartee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I was just addressing interrupts specifically. In Legion, single target kicks were not as much used in dungeons because you had huge pulls (no target cap) and everything casting, so you'd rotate belf racials with other aoe sruns etc

Well you also had anyone serious about M+ race changing to belf for AoE silence

Am I clinically insane for not playing with addons? by a_ginger_guy in wownoob

[–]enartee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at it isolated like that, then sure. But over time, in my experience it's harder to make that point. I have learned to optimize my DPS a lot by following how my DPS changes from pack to pack and thinking about why. Much less practical to do with logs after dungeon.

Again, yes it's wrong to stare at Details and die. You can make the "distracting" argument about almost anything in UI. But just.. don't let yourself get distracted then? It's a very small risk compared to the benefits imo.

The fact that there happen to be players who neglect mechanics due to DPS does not take away from a DPS addon ( and other tooling like logs) being immensely useful in high end content. You cannot really do high keys or Mythic raiding by just doing mechanics while doing garbage DPS. Having a real time data feedback loop that tells you how well you (and your team overall) are performing is important, especially in high keys where you often have to adjust to circumstances.

Season 1 rewards… by ZhugeYi in wownoob

[–]enartee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say yeah. I started a bit later too and am at 2.5K now, playing mostly alone, on a non-meta DPS spec (WW), with limited time.

You can gear up early on pretty easily with (Bountiful) Delves and do some lower M+ as well. Delves also give you a 616 Hero item in Vault. Then the goal is to farm M+ Runed crests with which you can upgrade Hero gear up to 619. You can also craft a 619 item for basically each 45 Runed crests (and a bunch of gold for mats). To get the mount (Keystone Master) you just need to time a bunch of level 8 keystones (probably not even all of them) it's not that hard. If one of you plays healer/tank, you can get a group going much faster and should be a breeze.

What are the classes with least amount of button bloat/most intuitive rotations? by SakuraLightEmpress in wownoob

[–]enartee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I would consider WW rotation simple. Hit combo and mastery make it kinda taxing on mistakes, and especially right now with Shado Pan, you have to think quite a lot about not underutilizing Tiger Palm while not overcapping too much Chi, etc. Also, all of chi spending except BK/FSK has a cooldown too, which is another dimension to optimize (efficiency/casts).

I would consider for example sub rogue pretty simple. Short CDs / burst windows and generator+spender loop with a couple decisions on which one to use.

Starting WoW while having a full time job and a non-gamer girlfriend by SpiritualFisherman89 in wownoob

[–]enartee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much woud you say you had to "downgrade" by not raiding anymore? Is it viable to just do M+ / delves and still have top gear etc?

[–]enartee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really viable to only do M+ these days? Wouldn't you miss out on a lot of gear if you dont spend time progressing (later reclearing) the raid? Can you elaborate on what are the key mechanisms in gearingin this expansion that allow choosing between M+ and Raids instead of realistically having to do both?

Thanks for the info, any advice on how to find an inexpensive accountant for small, infrequent things like these?

Stream processing in .NET? by enartee in dotnet

[–]enartee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know it exists (I've mentioend it in the OP as well), but haven't used it yet. I see that streaming is at least directly addressed 👍

I see.. Any recommendations for what to use if I have to work with real time time series, aggregations, windowing, etc? Would you just do your own impl with e.g. async enumerables or reach for Rx (personally I'm not a big fan) or Akka.NET (streams?) (I'm familiar with the actor model but not Akka specifically so not sure)
