@ Imbar

Get the name of the tab and move it off screen. Code would look pretty much like this:

TabName:ClearAllPoints()
TabName:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT", -100, -100)

Else I think Chatter can move the tabs off screen.

What's the best mod for raid buffing? Both Paladin and other classes? I tried ZOMGBuffs but I did not like it. Is there any alternative?

You can do this without any addons.

Could anyone indicate me to a shaman addon wich shows and if posible broadcasts to party chat the spells that got eaten by my grounding totems ? Thanks in advance.

For Paladin raid buffing PallyPower simply wins. PallyPower@WoWAce

Although you need to have all the paladins with it, it's worth it.

Hey, i been playing with my UI...and ive been having a problem with saving the settings.

I use Grid, Elkano's Buffbar, and SLTimex...and when i move em around to put em where i want, and log out and back in, they return to the middle of my screen...

Any clues as to why the hell this is happening?

Is there a comprehensive guide to using eepanels still posted anywhere? Ive tried several of the links in the other threads, and all of them seem to be old and non working.

Redoing my UI, and while Im "ok" with the way things are at the moment, there is a lot I would like to do better, but I dont have much experience getting them to work as of yet.

Juravieal, I'll point you to omgphatloots.org, Saeto has a few video tutorials on constructing lovely eePanels.

That is one of them Ive been trying. For some reasons I am unable to connect to that page. 404 Errors anytime I try.

EDIT - Its really starting to annoy me. I have 2 different computers here, one running Vista, one XP. Neither of them will load the page, we get "too long to respond" errors. However my brothers, using the same ISP, and being located in the same area (2 miles from me) can load the page fine.

Problem: To maintain high sustainable dps as a rogue, sticking to a finisher rotation is essential. Can anyone recommend a single addon (or a easily configurable combination of multiple addons) to watch your rotation?

My current workaround: ClassTimer for SnD/Rupture uptime. SCT & ArcHud for combo points. The problem is the necessary information is found on many places on the screen (ArcHud/SCT dont offer that much flexibility). ClassTimer bars show up quite inconstant (stacking, grow large option does not work). There's no way to enter your ideal rotation and get a personalized warning like "you reached 4 CP, SnD low!".

My dream add on would be a kind of hoovering bar with # of CP, # of Energy, SnD-duration, rupture-duration and special warnings if SnD is about to drop. Is there something like that?

discodice might be the addon you're looking for

In addition to the above poster's mention of DiscoDice, consider a combat-text addon change to Parrot or Mik's. Parrot offers routing to any scroll area you care to define over and above the three that come as default. You could then pipe ONLY the combo-point message explicitly to any scroll area that you choose, leaving damage/healing/notifications elsewhere.

I'm assuming Mik's has the same feature set, since it also comes highly recommended by the EJ crowd.

Unfortunately DiscoDice doesn't work with the German localization :-(. Other options would be Slicer which is extremely minimal in its functions or SliceWatcher which is ok but very abstract (and again without CP). It really seems I have to build something working with SCT/Parrot and some buff bars.

If you want to spend some time messing around with it, you can do all of this with dogtags. You could do it on any frame you wanted, but it'd be easiest to show on your target frame. Basically you could use whatever text you wanted to show like this inside/above/below the unitframe.

[ CP ] [Energy] [SnD time left] [Rupture time left] [Big warning if SnD duration < 3 secs ]

I can help ya figure out the exact dogtags if you want to go that route.
