 WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon review

Once again another quality World of Warcraft gaming aid in the form of the Manaview IMPULSE addon. Manaview is THE team that has made a lot of successes in the WoW industry through their ever growing quality products. Highly regarded by critics are their products such as Booster, Tycoon, and Edge. The customer satisfaction ratings for these products are consistently without blemish and this in turn makes you think – will IMPULSE follow suit? Let’s find out right now!

WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon review - Initial Reaction

The basic function of the WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon is as a keybinding addon.  This essentially means that it’s features will allow players to use a pre-designed list of keybinds and macros for their particular class, spec, and role. Let your imagination run wild and come up with different combinations and have the Manaview IMPULSE addon help you do a setup that is intuitive for each one.
Frankly, I am not knowledgeable on how great it works for every single class and spec in the game, however, I did use it on several occasions and I will confess that it felt intuitive. Without much analysis or thought I was able to adjust to the keybinds in a fantastically short period of time. The thing that involved me the most was doing a heroic with several guildmates although I believe that with a bit of practice, you could very quickly and easily learn the keybinds to the point that your overall performance in raids becomes really impressive.

WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon - The Interface

This is, from what I have seen, a breakthrough add-on that lets you actually have some control on how the interface works. During the initial setup of the WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon, you determine which hand placement you prefer. For example, you may use the Basic setup. This setup is also called WASD. On the other hand, you may use the FPS setup which is called ESDF. From this point and onwards, most of the ways the player interfaces with the product will be based on his or her personal interface and preference.
Furthermore, IMPULSE automatically detects your spec and in turn it will fill out your bars with action buttons and macros bound to certain keys. This is completely dependent on your own personal setup. For those players that wouldn’t dare touch the default Blizzard UI with a pole, do not fear, as it also works well with Bartender and other popular addons too.
Based on the foregoing, I have given a very high rating to the interface design.  Even for those few features that don’t integrate directly with Blizzard’s UI ( or Bartender and Dominos, etc), it is sleek and it accomplishes its purpose.

WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon - The Features

One can’t help but wonder about the greatness of an addon that accomplishes something you can do by yourself. And, this is a really good point to ponder. Actually, you can set up keybinds on your own, and if you find the time, you can also customize them so they would be easy to use, intuitive and made exactly for you and your needs.
However, the fact is, no one has enough time and room for the trial and error that will be needed. IMPULSE, on the other hand, will do all that for you and it will throw in some really great macros as well. By simply having the macros, you will realize that your gameplay has improved by leaps and bounds. The keybind design obviously was a product of immense analysis and research.

Finally, the feature that deserves the most praise is the capability to change any aspect of the setup if or when you so desire. You have the capability to take away and rebind abilities. You may pick any of the macros that you desire. Or, you can decide to start from scratch and with just one click of the mouse, you’re back to the default settings. This addon fully and truly delivers on the features.

WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon - Customer Support

I will get straight to the point on this one as nothing has changed with the team behind it, it’s still Manaview!! As it was before, it still is to date. The customer support has not changed a bit. One thing worth mentioning is that they did move from the open forum model to a community where you can ask questions, report bugs and bring your ideas to the table. Personally, I honestly prefer this model. It gets the point across in a more direct manner, more organized and a lot easier to monitor how fast the moderators and Manaview staff are responding to the entire community. This is and always has been within 24 hours upon receipt of your comment/question.

WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon - Value

This one depends on your perception of what may be cheap. A $40 purchase maybe cheap to me but expensive to you. On the other hand, you can compare similar products that players use to get an advantage by accessing the product’s capabilities quicker. The things I am talking about are keyboard and mouse and they usually cost upwards of $100. Honestly, these devices won’t come close to giving you the value that IMPLUSE would since they can’t pick and choose the best possible setup for you. Manaview IMPULSE addon prevails over of these devices hands down as far as value is concerned.

WoW Manaview IMPULSE addon Review - Overall

To a player of world of warcraft, this product is truly solid and useful beyond expectations. Whether you’re still leveling your first character or in more advanced stages, you can train yourself into having better habits. While you are at it, others are getting stuck breaking bad ones. Should you prefer to keep on clicking, this would make the transition a lot less shocking to your system. Or, if you are a keybinder, you could probably use some fine-tuning. Overall, Manaview IMPULSE addon is once again, an outstanding product that gets the job done.
