If theres one thing I hate during raids its poor framerate and lag spikes. One thing I've always suffered from in my UI was bloat and more bloat. Its hard to display everything you want to see during a raid without having every must have addon to show it. With that in mind I decided to come up with a UI that was as low on memory usage as possible(monitored with performancefu) and as easy on the cpu(also monitored via performancefu using cpu profiling). I can't say I've come up with the perfect UI to accomplish what I set out to do, as I just cant seem to give up Power Auras and I'm still searching for the best bar addon and fubar itself might have to go in favor of libdatabroker mods. I did come up with something that I feel is very close to it though. I will update this post if/when I make additional changes.
Scope:
Fully functioning raid UI with an emphasis on low memory and CPU usage without sacrificing any raid functionality.
Visual requirements:
Cooldown management of shots and stings and such.
Hud like viewing of self and target health/power so I almost never have to look at unit frames during combat.
Easily viewable target buff list whitelisted to only those that matter to me(Hunter's mark, Sunder Armor, and JoW).
Combat text.
Easily viewed combat meters and omen setup.
Easily viewed target class/type information.
Full raid frames to see raid status
Raid Addons:
ora2
Omen
DBM
Skada dmg meter
Visual addons:
Bartender4
Shadowed Unit Frames
SharedMedia(and Grizzly Shared media Pack)
Sunn Viewport with DSGraphics Viewport SKins
On Screen Health
EBB
Chinchilla
Power Aura's
Quartz
Prat(high CPU options deselected on addon screen)
FuBar
PerformanceFu
DurabilityFu
MSBT
RangeDisplay
TipTac
Please let me know what you think.
*edit*
Recent updates:
Reconfig Power Auras for more appealing display.
SexyCooldown for managing cooldowns better.
NeedtoKnow for better timer bars.
Switched to Satrina Buff Frames from Elkanos Buff Bars because it had better options and also low imprint.
Reconfigured MSBT for less 'spamminess'.
*note* Memory usage in SS is higher then normal due to optional addons that would normally be disabled like Gearscore and Atlasloot being active when I took the SS
