UI Addons Question

Anti

Lads, i installed the RebornUI Hunter pack last night http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/3186/, and im gaving a few issues with it. I know the UI is completly different from the standard one with all the info in the middle in bars. But i would still like to see portraits up on the left hand side, for me and pet aswell as party members. I've gone through the options and cant find much. I do like the timing bars, but there seems to be no way to move them from the middle of my screen. Basicially there is to much spam there, and it makes it hard to see.

Anyone have any ideas of a better UI?

Tbh i wouldn't encourage ui packs,they tend to give you too many mods that i feelare useless.

Just go and download the following mods:

- Grid

Shows everybody in the raid in asmall little square

- Omen

Its threat meter

- Atlasloot enhanced

For looking up loot

Nature enemy cast bar

- Cleans up your buffs and also keeps track of your debuffs/stuns you hit the enemy with, handy for keeping track on when your traps/scatter/wyvern shots will wear off

- Scrolling combat text

I think thats what the mods called, shows all your damge your doing, heals etc

And i myself just use normal spell buttons, but if you want to move them about the pick up:

Bongos


I also encourage getting "Visual heal" its mainly for healers but its also handy for seeing if you have any incoming heals, handy for knowing when to pop a health pot or bandage up.

Everybody in your raid will have to have omen and visual heal to be of use.

Oh and if your raid you willd defo need:

Deadly boss mod

So thats:
Grid
Omen
Atlasloot enhanced
Nature enemy cast bar
Bongos
Scrolling combat text

Visual heal
Deadly boss mod

zhunter + titan bar + some of the above mentioned mods work well enough for me. Omen (or similar) is very important if you're planning on doing any serious instance/raid stuff.

It's still quite close to the Blizzard UI so it mightn't be what you're looking for exactly.

Cheers lads, thats exactally the info i was looking for. Much appreciated.

Oh and Petster. It gives you one single, context sensitive button, that you can drag and have anywhere on screen. Out of combat it's the pet feed button or the call pet button depending on whether your pet exists, in combat it's the heal pet button. Useful just for the feed pet one (you drag and drop the stack of food you use into it initially so it's just one click to feed the pet after that, which is handy).

Anti

Cheers, that will come in handy im sure.

Just a note.

Nature enemy cast bar: according to the info on cure for this add-on, it will not work after 2.4 and they have no plans to develop it.

The reason for this being the major reformatting of how the combat log works/outputs. This is where NECB derives it's info from.


I would also suggest Possessions and ProfessionsBook if you have a couple of alts/banks. Possessions gives you a GUI for checking all you alts bags/bank/equipped, everything. PBook does the same for trade skill surprise, surprise.

Anti

Hehe, im gonna have one hell of a spammy ui after all of these

Does anybody else see the irony in installing an addon to manage your other addons? lol

As for GRID I must check it out.

jabberwock
