I hate analogies because they more often than not don't apply wholly to a situation and tend to be hyperbole at best. That aside, the bosses tend to yell things or have very blatant visual cues as to what ability they are using. DBM is more often ignored than used unless you're just learning a fight.

Until they offer official support those not using 3rd party peripherals will be at the disadvantage.

Countdowns and notifications to enrages, phase changes, incoming special attacks & debuffs to name few.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Again, if you're in a hard-core progression guild, addons like DBM aren't going to do jack for you because it won't have the info on the fights yet. Your guild will have downed the boss on PTR before even going live.

I'd much rather they just allow what functions they're going to allow through an API and focus on bug fixes/content generation personally.

Ahhh that's why i love them, used right you get your point across while deflecting arguments. A poor analogy just opens holes though.
