Learning your class and it’s spells is the most important thing. The best tip I can give is use any rotation addon only for practice on a target dummy until you can do the basics blindly.
Checking for cooldown timers quickly is fine but the more you get distracted from a fight and have to focus to keep your rotation going the more attention is naturally taken away from anything else. Addons that show your rotation, whether it is a preset one or one you make yourself like Weakauras only help you learn, weakauras still has a lot of other applications though and is a very useful addon that you probably will only really learn to treasure once you do more with it than just your rotation.Įssentially you want to reach a point where you do not need to look at anything to do your rotation but you do it from muscle memory, sure you might want to make indicators for certain procs but essentially each time you look anywhere to check which button to press next you are taking a risk, it is the first thing you will want to learn to not do. If you are truely trying to improve than practice is the only thing that will really help you.
