I have, yes.

ItemRack is way better. The only issue I have with ItemRack is that it doesn't always switch me back automatically when I go into forms and back which EquipManager usually did. But ItemRack's winning ability is the fact that it lets you do partial and full sets much better than EquipManager, it lets you turn on and off helm and cloak graphics as part of the swap (again, fully and partially), and is just a lot easier to set up.

Item rack also allows you to keep as many inventory slots constantly on screen as you want. I don't know if equipmanager does this, but it is certainly my favorite part of item rack (other than the obvious time saving). As a warrior, I have my main hand, my off hand, my gloves and my 2 trinket slots both on screen at all times and simply hovering over the respective slots brings a drop down menu of all items eligible for that slot. It's just quick and functional to the core.

See Chocula running at you? Throw on those strongholds! ^_^
Ignite flesh in 10 seconds? Equip that draconian deflector for just a second without much effort.

The only time it's gotten me in trouble is with drillborer disk because it has such a generic icon graphic and I sometimes ninja loot every grey/green we see while raiding.

Is there a way to filter out certain items for the itemrack visible equipment slot?

I find myself all too close to switching in a hydrocane at a bad moment when I want something else.

Except for Perl Classic.

As the original poster, I get to break the rules and mention more than one mod in honor of my fellow raid buffers. The first is one I've used for quite some time and don't think that many are aware of it. It's better than WhisperCast in my opinion. The second is one I recently picked up and is another good one for those of us who have to buff a lot.

- ChatCast
- SmartBuff

SCT - tells me who I'm giving mageblood/mana pots to and when I need to heal myself

Honorable mention - blind/flash count. It's pretty embarassing begging for flashpowder midway through a raid because you forgot to buy it. Having a number inside the actual vanish box is so simple, yet so valuable.

Honorable amen to that one, but it doesn't work with the new Nurfed actionbars from what I've seen. I've been relying on RoguePowder in Titanpanel (though since I'm going to try out Fu for less energy usage I might have to find something new to rely on, like personal responsibility... wish me luck).

I think I'll have to go with the underdog here and nominate AutoSelfCast (which functions, remarkably, exactly how it sounds). Why it's not part of the default ui perplexes me daily.

if I'm interpreting the functionality right* you also get this for free with Discord Action Bars.






* if targeting an enemy or invalid target: cast on yourself without changing target

English Teacher: barring some odd filters (like ST translating as Stratholme) this mod makes mixing with the hoi poloi a little less painful.

DiscoDice: First greatest rogue mod ever.
EnergyWatch Second greatest rogue mod ever.
These two make life so much more pleasant.

EngInventory: My favorite bag-mod.

I love my Perl Classic Unitframes so much.

Superinspect (or alternatively good inspect) are really nice treats.

Maybe I'm missing something with the latest version of nurfed UI but there are alot of issues with it atm. After basically re-installing all my UI yesterday using the new version I realized I had fucked myself doing a stupid mistake. How can I get the blizzard menu on? Seem you have to hack the UI to get it back.

I mean I was only looking for a more 1.11 compatible version of the nurfed UI I had before and I got something more buggy, that look worse overall and with some stupid thing like no main menu.

Anyone got another button UI to recommand that can do the job and that actually work?

Thorb, the Blizzard menu is accessable through the "N" icon on your minimap. Should be at bottom of the list of available menus. As far as the new Nurfed UI, it's worked perfectly for me. Yes there are currently no unit frame options and the HUD isn't in yet but overall it's rather nice for how quickly it sets up and how easy it is to use. If you don't like the unitframes layout currently you can alter it in the LUA files. I think Tivoli mentioned the reason the options menu for the unit frames are taking so long is he's trying to get that customization available in the options themselves.

Of all the equip mods I've used (not sure about the one you mention) ItemRack has always seemed to be the top notch one. It's somewhat confusing on the first run through, but once you understand it's UI, it's the easiest and most effective IMO.

My favorite 'feature' is how it queues up your gear change, so you can hit your X set and when combat breaks it swaps it immediately.

I have also dabbled a bit with the scripting but I didn't get it working entirely well for me. I had it (suppsedly) swapping earthstrike with HoJ when ES was > 30 seconds cooldown, mostly for PvP.

The mods previously posted are indeed many of the most useful, but they're also among the most commonly used. I seriously doubt that anyone who posts on these forums doesn't know about SCT and CECB. I am therefore posting an addon which I really really like, that I do not think many people use, and would hope that later posters do the same. I'm sure that there are some real gems out there which you people are keeping to yourselves =)

Dag Target of Target: http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/a...of-target.html

It shows target frames for your target's target and your target's target's target. This is extremely useful for healers, because they can monitor the hp and buffs/debuffs of the warrior they're looking at, the mob the warrior is trying to tank, and the dps-er who just pulled aggro on it. Because it allows you to see a full-sized target frame, you can also see that they have popped evasion/deterrence etc, and heal accordingly. I find this very useful as a warrior, both for pve and pvp.

Oh hell yes, I forgot about Superinspect. The few days after patch where it hadn't been updated yet, I weeped. For me it was one of those things where you didn't notice how much you actually used it until it was gone.

Nice to see mentions of Carnival Enemy Cast Bar :D Limited stopped working on it and let Natur work his magic, but we still manage to get people constantly asking for more functionality.

For me, All in One Inventory is the first thing always I check after a new patch - just the idea of going back to 5 individual bags makes me shiver.

On a more specific level though, DiscoDice is definitely the greatest mod I've come across for rogues. Every single rogue on my team uses it, and every one of em loves it.
