Where does hekili get it's rotation from? It shows different from some thing that I see on wow head and icyveins
Love that you did this! Just coming back to the game
Yea the results are very obvious to me who is around 95th – 98th percentile dps.
The more skilled you are at your class the less impact these addons will have.
They are for all purpose and intentions made for the average "casual" player.
And they will actually lower the Dps output of a skilled player even if optimized and followed to the teeth.
Thanks for doing the research for me haha
Thank you for this breakdown on the Addons. For Dragonflight, (should be called Dragonglide) I have found that Conro is not being updated. And Maxdps is slowly being updated but is slow in responding during combat. I used Conro and loved it's ease of use. But have switched to Hekili and use the Spelllash for the actionbar overlay. There are still some bugs in Hekili for WoW 10.0.0 but since the author seems to be updating the addon I anticipate the bugs to be fixed.
I got a message from the Conro guy and he says he will be updating the addon soon. I am so excited.
WOLK needs this
this video is so much help
Very nice video. Thank you!
Great guide, thank you!
The Dracthyr stand beside you! Nice vid. I'm a new player :3
This was great! I tried adding hekili but it’s not popping up for me on my UI. Gotta figure that out, then will try conroe!

Wonder if you would do an updated video on these as MaxDPS core is updated frequently, however, the class additions are not. Case in point, Druid hasn't been updated in over a year.
Superb video. I really appreciate how you break down the testing, then break down the tests. F.A.C.T.S. isn’t cheesy at all. It makes perfect sense.
Kudos to your wife for helping test these out. That was truly an eye opening jump in DPS for just the type of player these are for.
thanks hekili is still updated
thank you 🙂
This is so useful for a guy like me that shuts his brain very often while playing xD
I'm coming back to WoW after a 10-year hiatus. I want to understand more, this time, about the hunter class than I did 10 years ago. I love the idea of a rotation guide to help coach me on which spells needs to be cast and the best times for casting. Thanks so much for making this video.
Friend told me to install Hekili and I saw a huge increase in DPS. Did my first raid and mythic dungeons ever last week with demonology warlock and I was NOT hitting my buttons fast enough AT ALL. Especially with all the free procs. This add on helped me a ton! I’m starting to learn how to rotation should work and probably won’t need the add on in another week or two.
I feel like I am doing something wrong when I play WoW. I press the right buttons in the right times, but my dps is still lower than it should be.. When I look at logs, there is a small delay in my abilities/spellcasts that I dont know how to fix. I tried spamming the shit out of my buttons, I tried pressing them once when the gcd falls off, but nothing seems to help :/
Really solid information here. Like the way you analysed each of them. I started using Hekili in BFA to help with tracking my Feral bleeds & snapshot timings, and it's been great. I do sometimes think it's wrong, and defy it's recommendations (it doesn't like spending Apex Predator procs), but it's a phenomenal tool for keeping a track of when to hit the buttons for good pandemic refreshes.
Love your content bro 👌
Dude this is so thorough, concise, and well structured. Thank you so much.
Im low vision and with alot of things going on i get overwhelmed. mostly i need a prompt in case i dont see or because of tunnel vision dont notice something i should be doing. thank you for the video
i think this works better on long casting speccs/casters and not spammy ones like Frost Mage where actually following the mod lowers the dps by you being slow to track what to press.
Can you do an updated version guide please ? !
These are handy addons, because I play a lot of classes and I'm not exactly the best player, so it helps me know what I'm doing and learn a long the way what I'm supposed to be doing.
having your wife test was incredibly clever
2.2 k ? its more than mos of my team
I tried hekili it ain't good I do better dmg without it
I love the methodology. Might be worth doing an update for DF since Author support shifts over time.
excellent video _ Thanks
Hekili's the goat
How u use Hekili?
I try it, and it show me stupid shit.
I just subbed, first time seeing you on here. This was very well done and carefully thought out and the charts. This must've taken considerable time. Next level! 😏
Thank you
Is there an addon like Hekili which i liked very much for classic era?
Most excellent video
Returning player and am using Hekili, but was curious if there was something better. But it looks like the best option. I do like how it shows the spells to come in the rotation, very helpful.
Great review methodology, and really love the wife test. Always good to have a sample from a less experienced user, and those improvements with Hekili were impressive.
I personally use HR and enjoy it, although Hekili seems interesting and I may give it a shot at some point. Very good video, and great job with thorough testing and helpful graphics.
Conro suffers currently from a ton of problems, its unreliable, mount on dragon= error, open compendium = error, swap spec = error, enter dungeon = error
dude, I'm facing a lot of interference with add-on MaxDps it keeps sending me to reload all the time I press one of my action buttons, and it's my priest and my rogue why I have no Idea it all with this last expansion that my MaxDps add on is not working properly I disable and enable it still not working what can I do
On enhancement shaman at least I made the observation that maxdps is inaccurate. It's forcing to spend maelstrom way too fast basically whenever you reach 5 stacks it's locked in on lb which is not good at all. You should always try to get as close as possible to 10. HR is exactly the same as Hekili on enhance and they are probably the best you can get at the moment.
I've used Conro for years and love the simplicity of it. I have a lot of alts and it lets me swap easily and jump in and out of tunes. Sadly it's out of date since the war within pre-patch so I'm looking for an alternative. Thanks for the video, greatly appreciated.
