is the updated pic of it. I moved the group frames to the bottom. The target is the top bar, im the bottom one and the right one is the focus bar.

Still havent figured out a way to move the messages about what zone/subzone your moving into though. If anyone knows a way, please let me know!
thank you

This will cast GHeal on the player frame or player my mouse is hovering over, and otherwise cast GHeal on my current target. I doubt you can use this to queue up a spell that way you described it Adoriele (I've never tried it since I have self cast enabled in case I don't have a target).

What I'm looking for is a way to restrict the mouse over casting to my Grid player frames only.

unlock the bars you want to preview

P.S. anyone knows of an addon that would show the duration of my party members cast crowd control spells?

e: That probably isn't the addon you are looking for. Proximo used to show CC duration with an icon next to the player however, not sure if it does that anymore.

okay couple quick questions



some addon put the quest tracker/log thing on the bottom left of my screen and i'm not sure which one it is or how to move it. Also the clock on my mini map.

Googled a bit and found something called "Optional Aura Tracking" on Proximo, (on wowace forum devs say it's sumothing limited and unstable), will check that back home, anyway would love to have a bar showing that (like afflicted or NECB), also will check the Nautr CastTimers, maybe it shows something, and yes, Party Ability Bars tracks the cooldowns, not the duration of debuffs on target

mhm, as I know the addons you listed don't track quests, however in your lisiting I don't see an addont that makes your minimap square, if it's simpleMinimap, then thats the addon that allows to move default quest tracker.

You can chose font in the pitbull setting for sure, can't say the exact place but it is there

I'll try/check out FuBar

How do i move the other bars? The only bar i've found i can move is the cast bar.

edit: Any idea why Fubar disables the icon for group calendar?

edit2: It would seem FuBar ClockFu and group calender don't like each other...

just click from the quartz menu on each thing eg: player, target, focus

then uncheck the box that says lock and it should make the bars visible, you can then drag them to where you want them to be.

i want to try and make the target buffs/debuffs go as a perfect mirror the the standard blizzard buffs/debuffs for the player. I don't know if this is possible or not. if not can anyone think of a different way apart from on unit frames for showing the buffs/debuffs of my current target.

p.s
i'm using ebb for the buffs at the moment.

I don't have a screenshot but I'm hoping someone that uses xPerl can help me. I'm trying to figure out what the heck is on my target's nameplate.

Besides the castbar there is this color bar that builds up behind the nameplate. As I do more damage the bar fills up. Is it a threat meter or damage meter?

Its strange because from the options I can't figure out what it is or how to turn it off. It's really annoying and ugly and overlaps the castbar, the mob's name, and the color overlaps the "reaction highlight" feature.

An addon didn't move your quest tracker, you moved the minimap (Which the Blizzard tracker is anchored to). Unless you get an addon that allows moving the quest tracker (I'd second Cigaras' suggestion of SimpleMinimap to handle moving the minimap + quest tracker), it will always be relative to your minimap position.

I have recently downloaded the hourglass mod, but the mod places the cooldown bars in middle of the screen. I typed /hourglass and enabled "show anchor" and moved it, but the CD bars continued to show in middle of the screen. Further more, if I use two cooldowns, they stack on each other. There is no instructions manual on wowace. I'm really confused. I want to be able to unlock and move the cooldown bars, and not have them stack on each other.

Does anyone know the answer to fixing this problems or can recomened another quality CD mod?

I need some help, advanced help.

I've been using Bartender3 and CyCircled for ages now and decided to move on to next generation action bars like Bartender4 (beta and buggy, don't like) or Dominos (from the author of Bangos) and ButtonFacade. And there comes the tricky part: petbar and stance bar is totaly separate from regular action bar and are much smaller on both addons. On my old UI on Bartender3 all bars where the same size, there's a very old screenshot (I'm currently at work and can't make a fresh one), as you can see pet bar is kinda integrated into the whole action bars block (I'm not native english, it's hard to exspress myself ) and I can't get the same rezult with Bartender4 or Dominos because there is no ability to change the size of buttons, only the scaling of the whole frame (action bar). I tried to setting the scale of all bars lets say to 80% and pet bar to 90%, buttons are almost the same size, but then spaces between them are scaled also and there's a 1 or 2 pix miss-mach

Am I missing something, or maybe someone had same problems and found a solution, or know any other up to date ace action bar mods? I even tried to mess with lua files but, couldn't find where the size of pet bar is defined neither in Bartender3, Bartehner4 or Dominos, anyways I'm not very good at lua and maybe someone could point me the right direction?

The main purpose of switching to Dominos would be Dominos_Buffs addon that colors the frame of button depending if ability is used on target or self, maybe someone knows any similar for Bartender3 or something?

Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for my bad English.

P.S. BTW

In my humble opinion, OmniCC is the best fro tracking cooldowns and cooldown bars only take screen space (I myself don't even use the OmniCC, defaul blizzard spirale is best for me) (there is even a nice article about that on omgphatloots.org). If you want some king of announcer about your abilities ready to use, I'd suggest Ghost: Pulse 2.

Currently using Natures Enemy Cast Bar to track current debuffs I've applied to my target. (Demo shout, sunder, deep wounds, thunderclap etc).

However I want it to further track my buffs! It currently tracks rampage, but I'd like to group battleshout and flurry amongst the same bars. I've been fiddling with options within the addon ingame, but can't make it happen!

Does anyone know if this is achievable?

That is just my way of doing things, there are tons of addons that do similar things.
