The Screenshots
I'll explain a little first how and why I set things up as they are.
In the first screenshot you can see my UI fully in action in a raid setting.
- In the first screenshot you can see my UI fully in action in a raid setting.
- I wanted the player frames close to the action bars as both health and skill cooldowns are important for a tank.
- For debuffs I chose to list them twice for convenience. As always they show up in the classic buff frame position, but I also modified pitbull to show them beneath my player frame on the right side so I can notice quickly when I got a specific debuff(you see the heroism debuff in the first screenshot).
- On the left side beneath my player you can see my specific important buffs like trinket activations, last stand, shield wall etc. This is done by a filter in pitbull and I added extra buffs that aren't incorporated in Pitbull by default.
- In the 2nd screenshot you can see Sartharion casting his breath ability. The player and pet frames have the same castbar style, however with a "time left/total cast time" text instead of the target's name you see on the target frame.
- In the 3rd screenshot you can see my focus frame on the right side. The cast bar for this frame shows up in the middle as a big bar you simply can't miss. :P (also check the player cast bar in this screenshot). The pet frame is on the right side of my player frame, identical to the focus frame.
- Above my player frame you see a weird type of buff/debuff bar. The left side of this bar tracks my Commanding and Battle Shout buffs(both acquired from myself and others). The right side tracks debuffs on my current target like Sunder Armor, Demorilizing Shout etc. This bar can be used for any class, but requires .lua editing to put in the skills you want to track so it may be hard to setup if you have absolutely no clue about this (mod name is rFilter).
- I normally show the pet bar at the same position as the rFilter bar as mentioned above. This is because I don't have any pets on the classes where I use this bar. ;-)
- As for raid frames I chose to use Grid and configured it now properly next to my minimap. It shows health dificit, debuffs, mana etc. The main tanks are listed under the minimap. Next to the main tank window you see player cooldowns like druid battle rezzes or shaman self-rezzes.

Download
DOWNLOAD LINK OVER HERE
Before downloading, make sure you back-up your Interface, Font and WTF folders. Then remove them from your game folder. Now you can extract the .rar file you just downloaded straight into your WoW directory. Go into "WTF/Account": Here you modify the folder "ACCOUNTNAME" to your own account name. Enter this folder and now rename the "SERVERNAME" folder to probably Doomhammer. In the Doomhammer folder you now rename the folder "Charname" to your own character's name. For additional characters, create a new folder with their character name, and copy all the files from the "Charname" folder into the new one.
Edit: If you have a rogue or mage, you can use the Magecharname or Roguecharname folders instead and leave the Charname folder for other characters.
You're now good to enter the game. Check that "enable out of date addons" is enabled.
Once you've logged in it'll be very messy. That is because you need to set up a few profiles.
- First type /dominos. Go to profiles and select the Default profile.
- Go to /Omen > profiles, select the Default profile.
- Go to /Sexymap > profiles, select the "Default
Map" profile, NOT Default.
- Go to /Eavesdrop > profiles, select the Default profile (under "existing profiles").
You're now ready to rock if you are a melee class.
If you are a mana user there is one more thing you'll have to do:
Type /pitbull and go into profiles. Click the profile named Mage (melee classes use the Warrior profile). Now instead of the power number on the right of your player frame, you'll see a certain number and an X. Inside the Pitbull config window, go to Player > Text > Power. In the Custum field it will say "[Floor(MP / 463)]x". You can edit the number 463 to the mana cost of your main nuke spell. For instance for a warlock you could set it to Shadowbolt's mana cost. Now in the player frame it will show you how many more times you can cast this spell before you run out of mana. If you rather keep the normal showing of your mana, then stick to the warrior profile.
