Calculate Survivability in Real Time with the Effective Health Weak Aura for Mythic+
Last month, we highlighted Not Even Close, a new community tool designed to help players plan survivability cooldowns in higher level Mythic+ content. Today, we're showcasing a similar have a similar tool with the Effective Health weak aura by Heartline!
Unlike the web-based tool, the Effective Health weak aura works in-game and in real time, displaying the player's current effective health against Physical and Magical attacks, alongside their expected health after deadly Mythic+ dungeon attacks land.
Seen on the left, the weak aura show the players Physical and Magical effective health, with Excavating Blast reducing them to 79% health remaining.
Naturally, each of these tools has its own pros and cons.
- Not Even Close is preemptive, allowing players to figure out whether or not the content is survivable before starting the key, it doesn't do anything to assist completion once actually inside.
- The Effective Health weak aura works in real time, updating dynamically based on your current health and active defensive abilities to warn players of notify players how well they will survive.
In a perfectly planned and coordinated group, this might seem unnecessary — if Not Even Close already told you that you need to use Die by the Sword to survive Earthshattering Roar in +30 Darkheart Thicket, the weak aura isn't necessarily telling you anything new. However, that doesn't take into account what else is going on in the dungeon. Perhaps you stood in a puddle and your health is no longer topped off, or you were targeted with several abilities back to back, or you simply weren't paying enough attention to when the deadly mechanic was coming out and who it was targeting. These are all situations where the weak aura's dynamic nature will alert you that bad things are about to happen, so you may need to rethink and react quickly in order to survive.
This is great to know ahead of time, but what happens when everything doesn't go completely according to plan?
