Addon and Nerf Button setup pt 1

[Lileldys]

Then how am I getting hit by three spells at once by a BW when I check the combat logs who are clearly using nerf buttons?

Travel time on skills. You will be hit by Ignite, which ticks every 3s for 9s. Followed by a Boiling Blood, which will tick after 5seconds. If someone goes Ignite->Boiling Blood, these will hit their damage in the same GCD. From here, you can throw in stuff like Pyroclasmic Surge(2s Travel), Sear(Instant) and Withering Heat(Instant), all to hit in the same GCD. Hitting all these in the same GCD is important to playing BW/Sorc, and is countered with cleansing and guard.

A lot of time people want control of their CC. Why would you use your knockdown every time it's off cooldown? Saving it up for when a teammate is being focused to lower the dps output is way better.

The only advantage I see from Nerf Buttons is certain positionals and enchantment removers.

Well I may have not one button with one setup to react to one situation. I might have five diffrent ones AND am still capable of taking my own choices..
..as I said it's a grey area.
Never used it so I do not know if the advantages are actually as hugh as I imagine them to be.

Edit: And you forgot about the hole pots and when to prompt them
If AP beneath 100 prompt pot x
If health beneath 50 prompt pot y
There is no periphal in/output involved by the player.. saves heaps of time overall

The topic of Nerf Buttons is always going to end with the same results.
Its OP on the 6mans groups and any abled gamer who should really be able to use those positionals and enchant removes by themselves.

Nerf Buttons is fine for those disabled gamers who can't play properly.

True!
It might not be an easy mode of playing RoR but it certainly is an easier mode (imo) - given you know how to config it proper

That's why I never complained about NB users... Live allowed it RoR allowes it.. I'm fine with that.

Glad to see the main nerfbutton haters still has no clue how it actually works
Some things never change :p

I do wish they would ban this add on. It really takes allot of the skill out of the game.

I mean I took 4700 dmg at once from a Sear, funnel, and rain hitting at the same instant. That should be impossible as far as I'm aware from GCD shouldn't it?

Its actually pretty easy when u start playing casters/range with skills casted in time (no instants).
1`st line numbers are seconds of time , when chillwind is "on target"
C - cast of spell (instant - same sec, longer - begining sec of casting)
F - when u finish casting spell it takes some little time before it hit the target
T - tick or hit the target

In that picture u can see its easy to have timed 4 dmg in more less same sec (6 - 6.5)
Same patern is for BW, more less for other range/casters, like SW.
And it has nothing to do with GCD because you cast each of spells one after eachother (1 GCD is 1.5 second)

>bw rotation is hard

Do you honestly think if NB was removed the top BW/Sorcs in the game would suffer one iota?

GDC has been changed to 1.1 seconds.

Oh, when did that happen? Is it another RoR feature:)?
