nice UI, though i just never could get into DUF. i'd start the countdown on just how long it'll take folks to screech about your audacity to still use titan when (by gum!) everyone should be using fubar (etc, etc.)

(and yes, i kinda get tired of that sort of stuff.)

Ehh, why bother with all those fancy 3d graphics...

Lets just go back to ASCII graphics so we can play with bar graphs and text alerts at maximum efficiency!

you should give La Vendetta Boss Mods a try, i (and most my guild) have found it to be more accurate than Big Wigs. Especially in Naxx where Bigs Wigs often was inaccurate.

How do you see the game through all that?

I couldn't see myself having fun looking at that screen.

Drathal's HUD is nice except that it doesn't save the settings between characters, so I always had to go reset it every time I rolled a new toon or went back to one I hadn't used in a while. I decided on ArcHUD instead, which has the added bonus of not putting its' own graphics on top of other addons such as Atlas/AlphaMap or AllInOneInventory.

Dang that's a complex UI! I can definitely respect a raider who has that much stuff flashing and whatnot all over their screen.

I use a fairly simple set of addons for most of my characters:

- GypsyMod: makes your UI modular, replaces the default UI artwork and gives you an an extra set of action bars. I also really like what it does with the Unit bars - showing your experience bar (and exactly to the point how much rest xp you have), health and mana/rage/energy as a value on the side of the bar itself. Two problems with it at this time are that it acts strangely for a hunter's pet action bar and it doesn't seem to allow me to assign raid symbols to targets. Otherwise I use it for all my characters.

- TitanPanel: I also love the tidbits of info it provides, and the Honor+ built-in is shockingly accurate at estimating your honor as you play. I also enjoy a built-in called Rider, which auto-equips and un-equips gear that gives you riding speed bonuses as soon as you mount and dismount.

- LootLink: I like it for its convenience and sometimes it's good when you're trying to tell someone that they should get a certain item by just linking it to them. Also good for the occasional time that you inspect someone and nab the item link so that down the road you can share it with your guildies and talk about how that person obviously plays too much if they're geared that way.

- Atlas: probably one of the most useful reference addons. Adds a little button to your minimap that has all of the instance and battleground maps, as well as indexed "points of interest".

- AtlasLoot: an enhancement for Atlas that adds buttons to all of the "points of interest" that shows what each boss drops! Super useful if you're hunting for gear at 60 and want to know who drops what, how often. Also has a section for looking at Tiered and PVP sets. They're links, so you can share them.

- Gatherer: simplistic addon for anyone with a gathering profession. When you pick, mine, or loot whatever from the ground it remembers the location so that on your minimap and zone maps you can see where you've found the nodes. Since I'm hunting for Rich Thorium Veins with my warrior, this is a godsend for helping me make "RTV runs".

- EnergyWatch: rogue/druid-specific mod that displays a running timer so that you can see when you'll get energy ticks. Timed right, you can use an opener and immediately get your energy tick, letting you pull off an Ambush/Gouge without having to wait for the energy.

- Doh, can't remember the name of this one, but it generates timers for the majority of spells and effects on players. For instance, if you hamstring or polymorph someone it will show a timer that will essentially tell you when to reapply the effect. For rogue stun-locking it also keeps track of diminishing returns on stuns, gouge, etc. Very practical mod for players who want to know exactly when to re-poly, when to re-hamstring, etc.

That's all I can think of right now for my current addon set.

Is the cooldown counter on your druid abilites part of Drathal's HUD or is that a separate addon. Having a feral druid myself, having those cooldowns in a single place at-a-glance would be really handy.

Thanks in advance. ;)

I know this is short and stuff but for raiding I would suggest the addon Perfect Raid and Benecast (have to have regualr unit frames =) Hope this helped someone.

^^ My guildmate's UI. I dunno how he did it, but thats the best looking one i've EVER seen

Jennie, you should probably think about installing a few more addons. I can still see your character on that screen.

For most of us its a slow accumulation of add-ons. Every so often I troll through the UI websites and see what's new and cool; I haven't gotten to endgame yet, so I don't use all the fancy raid addons (I keep getting bored around level 48 for some reason...)

That is a beautiful UI, and I know I'd love to get the details on it if you can ask for us... pretty please? :)

Can someone please help me on what mod it is that clears your group/party portraits, etc. while in a raid. I dont need to see my party members and their 392904 buffs =P

kerri, i really wish i knew how he did it. he wont tell me =( i cry whenever its patch day and he comes out with new artwork for it. I think hes a graphic designer and does his own mods. He did tell me though and Discord Art or something.

What's that mod that shows the targets stats in a box just above the boss?

Reply

Does anyone know the name of the mod in the center above the boss that shows the targets stats?

I prefer to have as little as possible cluttering up my screen.

I use the Perl Hud: Since I can clean up all the party target menus and make some visual room

Bongos Hotbar: Simply for that reason 10 hotbars I can adjust..super tiny any shape and all that. Move my bags and menu bar shrink them or even go vertical.

Titan Bar: For the Minor things like money,durabillity tracking and Mount and Unmounted gear equiper.

Dude that Screenshot looks like a cluster fudge...god...I couldnt play with that much crap on my screen...

@13: Rob - I use Perl party frames to remove the party while in a raid, but you might be able to do it with the the CTmod party frames addon as well.

I personally enjoy the cleaner look that Perl offers, but it's also a bit more overhead that some might not like. It's also got a LOT of customization that can be a bit overwhelming. Of course, once you have it set up the way you like, you can save global variables and just reload if you have any alts and want to use the same setup. :)
