A bit cluttered perhaps, I like it that way, though. Looks the same now, only I deleted Baggins (that addon really annoyed me after a few minutes..)


Why do you have a bottom titan panel showing with nothing on it?

I recently started using PowerAuras for MS and Fury specs. I wanted to see when MS was on my target, along with the Slow and Root words for Piercing Howl/Hamstring and Imp Hamstring respectively. For Fury I wanted it to show if I did NOT have a buff (Rampage, Battle Shout), I set it to pulse so it was very visible if something dropped off.

I think I know what you are referring to, apologies if I'm wrong. The trick with self versus other is this. There are two checkboxes, Friendly and Enemy target. If you want to show something that's a buff on yourself regardless of target selected, select neither. It's not clear at all in the UI that neither means self buff. Once I worked this out, I now have lots of auras set for myself and my targets.

Great mod still, very effective if you want to watch the game field instead of your hotbar or buffmods.

Still cant get that font that Tap uses to work, i copyed what i had to and changed it so it was like everything else, and moved pizeldu into the hsaremedia font folder. Now since i took these fonts from Tap's downloaded ui...I might have took the wrong 1 (since theres like of them there from what i saw >_>). Any idea what i did wrong? Refer to my last post with my screenshot if anything thank you ahead of time.

Raid UI

The bar of totems and things that is above the chat logis for commonly used totems that I have bound

Questing has grid removed, I'm thinking of putting a combat log where I have recount and grid set up, for quests and such

I feel like it's still a bit too spacious and theres more I could do to compact it, I'd like to hear some insights.

Thanks

New UI, a big WIP still.



I spent most of the day going thought some of the same idea. I'm happy with the bars and stuff on the bottom (except the pet/stance eePanel but, I'll figure it out later). Only thing I need to do is frames now.

Advice by PM is welcome.

raid:
Just took this tonight after we had already raided, will try to put something up tomorrow night.

Much of it was copied from Eoy, a warlock in Forte. Other stuff is of my own creation =D Grid is there mainly just because i like to see whats going on with the rest of the raid. Also, i plan on downloading clique for lazy summoning ^^

I still need to find a better place for my pet frame...it seems pretty out of place over where it is. Any suggestions?

Critique welcome!

Please comment on what I can do different

UF borrowed from Tap, cause they are so nice. Other inspirations are obvious for those who know this community ...

It was this very discussion that led me to be referred to your forums

I'm learning how to heal, and I'm afraid my UI is hindering the process. I suffer a bit from "tunnel vision" (I blew us up on my first attempt at Solarian) because I'm so twitchy about dropping a healing assignment that I lose focus on positioning and environment. This is my first healing class, I'm more used to standing and range-nuking. Any advice would be most appreicated !

Finally came up with a solution to the problem I was having with incorporating totems and my cooldowns somewhere in my UI. Most UI's I see generally have their cooldowns showing by either having their action bars with cooldowns on them or just 1 bar with spells that actually have cooldowns on them.

For probably 2 years though all of my action bars have been hidden and I've always used coolDown to watch cooldowns, I don't think any mod of mine lasted as long as coolDown but I finally had to let go of it for a cooldown mod with more(easier) customizability.

OOC:


Raid(Grid frames are scaled differently in my 25 man profile):


Basically now my cooldowns have 3 categories that way they all take up about the same amount of space as my totems. Like I said I'm pretty happy with it, unfortunately the boxes that hold totems and cooldowns still appear even if none are up as I'm pretty much clueless how to parent to a frame with eePanels when "/print GetMouseFocus():GetName()" doesn't yield anything over any related frames(all I can get is "WorldFrame over any part of my totem timer or cooldown mod ). Always open to suggestions.

(Why do you have a Poison Cleaning/SoE/WF totems binded on Totemus whereas they are already binded with you "commonly used totems that I have bound" ? You should minimize showed bindings everywhere if you're trying to get a cleaner UI )

What I personally found extremely helpful is to set up a floating combat text addon for that which displays a message that you've gotten a debuff in a position where you're generally looking on your screen while healing. In my case this is simply top center, but I'm one of the few people that has most important UI information on the top half of the screen (As opposed to the bottom half used by a lot of people). Just experiment a bit with this. If I look at your UI I expect putting such messages above your raid frames would be a good spot.

Alternatively I'm pretty sure any good BossMod also allows you to set where it displays it's messages or it's timer bars. While I can't see which BossMods you are running (if any), I personally use BigWigs for this reason, since it both allows me to put it's messages where I want, and the bar emphasis when they go below 10 seconds time left is also an extremely good feature to draw attention to something important going on. I've actually got the timer bars which aren't being emphasized somewhere off the side where I don't really notice them unless I consciously decide to look at the time on something, while they immediately jump into my view when they're becoming close to being applicable.

I'm also a solid believer in minimizing unneeded information; e.g I don't have my party frames showing while in a raid since my party is displayed in the raid frames as well, and I also keep my frames in general quite small (Though I'll freely admit using frames of ~150*20 pixels is probably too small for most people).
