A good nameplates mod can be a big help for multi-dotting. I'm a fan of TidyPlates and ThreatPlates. TidyPlates is the base framework, and ThreatPlates changes the look and adds widgets.

Using the ThreatPlates "Debuff" widget you can put dot timers on the nameplates themselves, allowing you to easily survey the field and see which enemies are missing dots or have dots that are about to expire. Use the Whitelist option to ensure only your dots are visible.

Using the ThreatPlates "Custom Nameplates" function, you can adjust the visibility of nameplates for crowds of adds. By adjusting the size and transparency of those nameplates down to 60-70% of normal, you can still see the necessary details, but you can also see past them. This is especially critical late on H.Spine, where the sea of Corrupted Blood would blind you if the nameplates were all full size. Make sure to set the default Bliz UI to allow overlapping nameplates.

Whether this is useful or not probably depends a lot on your keybinds layout. In my case, I try to do all my movement and targeting with the mouse. This allows me to autorun, spin, adjust camera, and click nameplates entirely with one hand. All of my spells and actions are mapped to a 7x3 rectangle of keys on the keyboard, which is my other hand.

By keeping targeting/camera and spell casting on separate hands, multi-dotting becomes easy. While one hand is dotting your current target, your other hand can be adjusting the camera and getting ready to click the nameplate of your next target.

Bumping to keep this thread in the default 30 day filter. Note for any newcomers: The OP of this thread is still up to date for the 4.3 patch.

:woo:

I'm not actually that up to date myself at the moment, but if there's a good consensus on endgame trinkets I can put in a quick note (never did them since I never played in T13).

More or less, this is the situation:

- [Will of Unbinding] and [Insignia of the Corrupted Mind] are the best overall trinkets.
- [Bottled Wishes] (VP trinket) provides controlled burst on a low CD and thus it is a good choice on specific situations (Tendons on Heroic Spine). Otherwise, it's weak compared to the top trinkets.
- [Cunning of the Cruel] is good for AoE, but it's not better than either WoU or IotCM on single-target situations.

Not much to discuss since these four are the only T13 caster trinkets, and the normal versions (sometimes even the Raid Finder varieties) of the main T13 trinkets (WoU and IotCM) are better than all T12 trinkets.
