Omen is so much better that it's insulting to even compare the two. Yes, Blizzard has recently integrated a rudimentary threat warning system into the default interface. Raiding as a Mage without them is possible, but I'd compare it to performing surgery with your eyes closed: the results will be messy, and somebody is probably going to end up dead. These are simply those that I consider most essential.
This week: PvE.Īs with the last addon column, I'll add the caveat here that these are by no means the only useful PvE addons out there. The last time we discussed Mage addons, we focused on the PvP side of things. All I'm saying is that my buddy isn't one of those people.
I'm certain there are a great many of you out there who prefer not to use addons, and I'm sure you're by and large wonderful, fully functioning human beings. I fully expect to be struck down at any moment as an example to smart-asses everywhere.ĭisclaimer: I am in no way asserting that not using addons makes you a moron. I mean, how does it make sense that we had to go thousands of years without the option of peeing indoors? That's just poor design. And yes, I am indirectly rebuking deity for not providing mankind with toilets from the beginning. Addons are the community's way of grafting functionality into the game that Blizzard should have included from the start, and that's simply how it is. I frequently assert to anyone who cares to listen (earning me more than a few strange looks, believe you me) that believing addons are cheats simply because Blizzard didn't program them into the default UI is pretty much the same thing as considering indoor plumbing a cheat because God didn't program it into the Earth when he originally created it. We both know and accept the fact of his moronitude, acknowledge that after 20 years of friendship, he probably isn't going to become any less infuriating, and move on to other topics. Now, I'll never convince him he's wrong-even though he clearly is-but I chalk that up to the fact that he is a moron. His rationale for not using addons seems to be a combination of mistrust for anything that isn't part of the game right out of the box and a misguided belief that addons somehow equate to a form of cheating. It's a flaw I've learned to overlook during the years we've known each other. Welcome to another Arcane Brilliance, the weekly Mage column that celebrates everything Mageworthy and thinks Warlocks smell funny.
