  1. Luxthos's Class weakauras are a heaven sent for me. Ever since i've discovered them its been a big boon to my gameplay. Helped me stop being a hotbar watcher. Now I can see my character more clearly, and the bosses/trash, and when i've gotten the muscle memory down for the class i'm playing they help me keep up on my rotation and so on.

  2. weak auras can be daunting from scratch and im no bill gates but you can learn a lot from experimenting with already established weak auras. make a back up and play with the triggers and sizing options.

  3. I have to definitely agree with editing and configuring your WA. Mine is a combination between ahla, fooji, and a couple of others warlocks. However, I spent hours modifing it, going as far as modifying letter size, taking out things that I don't like such as life tap and use a bar. Now, I feel it is completely tailored for me. One thing that I dont think it is a good idea is shadow bolt on mouse since it is a bottom that we spam like crazy and the lateral keys for the mouse are weird for me. I use Q instead but probably you are used to it.

  4. I snagged a WA from one of your vids back in SWP. Always keeping an eye out for the next good one.
    And recently I’ve been rearranging some keybinds. It takes a little getting used to if they haven’t changed it years, but it’s worth it!

  5. Another great video. Some simple but critical stuff, it's so easy to get carried away with add-ons you forget about being able to see mechanics 🤣

    In your next video, would be good if you could spend some time on Macros. Things like how they organize your cast que, what /cqs does, which commands you can roll into a single Marco (pet attack + SB, non gcd actions, which cooldowns can be rolled together, etc etc). It's easy to find the macros on the wlock disc, but it can be tricky to actually understand how dafuq it all works. 😊

  6. Just a little thing I do that helps a lot, I have the same two extra buttons on my mouse but I bind shift and ctrl to those as well giving me 6 spells off those 2 buttons (basically my core rotation)

    Example with my side mouse buttons bound to the square bracket keys (something you cant reach) –
    Left square brackets – Shadowbolt
    Right square backets – Haunt
    Shift + Left square brackets – Unstable affliction
    Shift + Right square brackets – Corruption
    Ctrl + Left square brackets – Curse of agony
    Ctrl + Right square brackets – Curse of doom
