[#SomeChanges Suggestion] Track mining, herbs and fish simultaneously #346

Open Bakhoj opened 2 years ago

Bakhoj commented 2 years ago

Description

For those of us who likes to wander around the world and gather materials or randomly bump into them, I think it would be nice to be able to track mining nodes, herbs and schools of fish simultaneously.

You are able to achieve something similar to this with macros / Weak auras / addon by manually or automatically cycling through the trackers every x seconds. Although this way is quite tedious because it triggers GCD every time and is more for the use case of actively farming for everything.

This feature was added in Cataclysm Patch 4.0.1 ( Undocumented , i could not find any source for this) and I guess this was more of a technical challenge than a matter of balancing (personal view)

Hunter's also got the ability to use all their tracking abilities at once in patch 4.0.1 and could also be added if it is technically beneficial to the implementation of the former, but is otherwise not part of this suggestion.

FWIW changing tracking no longer triggers the GCD so this is much less annoying in WotLK.

Thanks! updated the comment to reflect this.

This does make the suggestion less needed, since an automatic cycling through tracking can be up all the time without interrupting combat or other interactions, I guess.

But at the same time, this also means that this suggestion will not be unbalanced/unfair If the GCD is not triggered anyways but it will add more convenience, especially for people that does not want to run many addons.
