Maybe a Reddit strawpoll to determine if the amount of people to use it would be worth the time invested? I imagine a large number of people would use it, but I'm sure some would complain about making the game too easy or something stupid like that. But it would be very helpful to lower level players getting into bossing by helping them optimize their dps while allowing them to focus more on the mechanics of the fight instead of concentrating so much on what order to use their abilities. Hell, as a 138 getting into end game bossing like Arraxor, I would even pay for that as a premium Alt1 app.
]]>Would it be possible to make an addon with RuneApps that allowed you to input a list of spells for your dps rotation and it displays the spell you currently need to cast + the next spell you're going to cast based on when one goes on cooldown?
Something like
http://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/hedd
or
http://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/bittens-spellflash-dk
The pseudo idea something as follows:
* Tell the app what action bar slots to watch and in what order you want. (i.e. my rotation would be slot 1, 3, 5, 4, 3, 6, 7, 4, 2, etc..)
* App allows you to select the area of your screen with the action bar allowing you to take a quick screen shot of the area so it can build a visual rotation for you.
* App displays a larger image of the current spell you need to cast, plus a smaller image of the NEXT spell in line.
* As soon as the spell in action bar slot 1 goes on cooldown (app reads when the color dims on the bar or when the cooldown countdown appears?) the next spell for you to cast shifts to the large image, etc.
I don't know the capabilities of RuneApps as far as screen capturing and things go nor what it would take to actually code this and I'm sure people would object even if it were possible... but wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where people could do more dps because they had some kind of visual guide to teach them when starting out?
