I'm having a problem with EBB. Nothing is white-listed or black-listed, and yet the only buff/debuff/tracking that will ever appear in the list is Track Humanoids. Anyone have any ideas?

My focus, focustarget and focus castbar appear underneath my castbar.

* Addons that affect my UI: *
Aloft - healthbar/nametags.
Dominos - action bar(s) mostly hidden, all keybound.
FuBar - Hidden.
Grid
Minimalist - cuts out unnecessary crap from the UI.
Omen - background hidden so it only shows bars.
Pitbull - unitframes.
Quartz - castbars, probably not needed anymore, but I like to see my latency.
Mostly used for enemy and focus castbars though.
Recount - window closed, it's opened from FuBar and opens large at the center of my screen.
as I never have it opened during combat anyway.
SCT - combat text
SexyMap - pretty neat thing, loads of options to cutsomize the minimap.
Zhuntermod - for the neat little menu's for aspects, traps and petstuff.
All stuff I don't use much and it's folded up into 3 neat little menu's.


My UI is still a work in progress though.
I'm not happy with the placing of the minimap, Zhunter buttons and my Buffs just yet.
But so far I haven't found a good place to get it all.
They still disrupt the balance in my UI, and I'd like to have them centered but so far I haven't found a good place for these things.
If anyone has a good suggestion, please post or PM

edit: I'm also not 100% happy wit my keybinds just yet, but I'll figure that out sometime soon(ish) :P

I just use the default unitframes - I've never found any unit frame addons that I liked. As a hunter I don't really need to see the raid so it's not a big deal.

The UI:

Addons used:

Quick explanation of this UI. I do realize this screenshot is from my Death Knight however it is the same UI I have developed for every class I play. Text on the left and out of the way is chat, the upper box isn't displaying it at the moment but it is for private channels. The problem I always had with blizzard standard UI is that everything is too spread out on my screen. To that end I came up with the concept of a UI focused on organizing information in a concise and centralized way. Spells and abilities are organized at the top of the screen followed by player frame and omen. Under that is target of target and my target. Debuffs are underneath my target. Further down is recount. To the right are my buffs and right of that is grid, set up vertically by class, only shows the first 25 people in a group so it wont expand infinitely for 40man battlegrounds.

Edit: This UI is now available for download. I take 0 responsibility for assisting anyone with its set up. Some addon knowledge is required. This UI is talked about in depth on my blog. Link in my sig.

UI:

Addons:
XPerl Unit Frames
Bartender4
Quartz
CoolDownTimers3
Sexymap
MapCoords
Quest Helper
Recount
Omen
Deadly Boss Mods
Atlas/Atlasloot
Miks Scrolling Battle Text
RatingsBuster
Time to Die
Time to OOM
CT_BuffMod


I've never liked having lots of clutter in the center of my screen (as that's usually where the fire is when I'm standing in it), and my UI reflects that. I try to keep really important things centered (cast bars, CD timers, etc.), and push everything off to the side, so my eyes don't wander too needlessly. Also, I really enjoy the customizability of XPerl Unit Frames. I can create tank windows for easy MD targeting, and keep an eye on raid healers in case I need to cast an extra MD or try to pull aggro from a healer (not often, but sometimes things go wrong).

Another addon I find superior to its competitors is Miks Scrolling Battle Text. It divides the info into applied buffs, healing/dmg in, healing/dmg out, and available CD's, and displays them in four separate sections of the frame (N, W, E, S respectively). These sections can be moved anywhere around the screen, and made smaller or larger to fit your available UI space.

I moved some things around on my UI since I downloaded some new mods this evening. CT_BuffMod is to the right, and I like it because it displays buff durations with timer bars (I'm a big fan of timer bars). Next to that, above the XPerl Raid Unit Frames, is the XPerl Tank Frame, which can be set up to show 1-10 raid tanks, for easy MD targeting. Continuing across the screen, the cast bars are provided by Quartz, which I absolutely love because the images are crystal clear, and the addon gives you the option to display your latency for each cast. Lastly, TimeToOOM sits above TimeToDie, with Recount to it's immediate left, and Bartender action bars underneath.

Above Recount is CoolDownTimer3. Initially, I was hoping that this addon would display the proc timers and/or hidden CD's for my trinkets (which it does not), but after using it tonight, I'm comfortable with it's displayed content, and the manner in which it's displayed (timer bars again). Top left is XPerl Unit Frames for me, target, and tot. Top right is Omen, sitting next to SexyMap. I very much enjoy SexyMap as well, because it eliminates the clutter that addon buttons around the minimap can create, yet still allows MapCoords to be displayed full time.

quzor,

What's the mod which tells you that ARCANE SHOT IS READY NOW?

I thought it'll be cool to use it when LnL proc or something.

I've found the same results with MSBT; it arcs the E and W text around your character, with the W side being incoming damage and heals, and right being outgoing, which is convenient to see if you're taking damage (ie, standing in the fucking fire). It also pops up notifications on the bottom whenever CD abilities are available, like ES and Aimed Shot. Very useful!

Here's my UI for those who prefer a more default feel. Or for those with slower computers.



Addons include:
TitanPanel - at the top, keeps track of gold, bag space, loot type, durability, ammo, and connection.
Recount - to keep track of damage, healing, deaths, etc.
Grid - I just love tiny raidframes
ViperNotify - (unseen) tiny addon that dings and tells me if I'm still in Viper at full mana.

Pretty predictable custom UI with two personal touches that might be of interest here:

1. The pet bar. It has always annoyed me and thrown off my layouts. I've seen some people hide it until they mouse-over, and I've tried that, since I use it mostly for keeping an eye on Prowl, Growl and Cower. But that was a little too out-of-the way for me. I finally settled on slapping it right on top of the Pet Unit Frame and that works really well for me. There's no ugly blank space when I'm petless and it's easy to spot and it's actually an intuitive place to have it.

2. Buffs and Debuffs. Buffs in raids were getting out of control, and I really only care about very few. So I switched from EBB to Satrinas and put my and my pet's buffs as traditional icons at the top, then I created Debuff frames with labels and bars for each of us and put them close to the unit frames, to the left and right of center where I can see and identify them very quickly.

The entire UI is designed to keep info accessible and out of the way of the centre of my screen, but those two details I thought might be of interest to other hunters.



Nothing interesting in my list of addons: Pitbull for frames, Dominos for bars, Satrina's Buff Frames, as noted. And a host of other very common addons that everyone has or has tried.

Addons by request:

S7orm,

The Link to your UI Screenshot is not showing up for me today but it was yesterday.


Is there an upload of your UI anywhere? That screen size is what I have ATM and that UI is PERFECTION IMO.

Thanks

Basically an attempt to keep as much screen real estate visible as I could while still being functinal. Also got Geist setup and bound to q which gives me some more clickable buttons for rarely used abilities/tradeskills/mounts etc. So far i'm liking the setup but pitbull's combat fader bugs out every 2nd BG and i can't find another unit frames with a in/out of combat options.

Another good one, that I use myself, is Proculas. It tells me when anything procs, including trinkets as well as abilities. It also gives cooldown bars, though I'm not certain as to how accurate those are relative to the internal cooldowns on trinkets.

Hope this is helpful, as this is my first EJ post!

Someone mentioned on the Survival thread about using EBB. I went and created a new bar and pretty much blacklisted everything but LnL and slaped it in the center of the screen, works nice for me.

In case your are allready using SCT, you can add custom events for the addon to look for, and set them up to appear in any frame and style you need.

On a similar topic , does anyone know of an addon that tracks CDs but does with a duration bar, more like ClassTimer or Quartz. I have OmniCC at the moment, but that means looking down at my action bars to see when I can next fire something, when ClassTimer & Quartz can be put in the middle of the screen.

Also, has anyone else had problems with ClassTimer not picking up things like Ferocious Inspiration, even though it claims to support it?

I've been using Heatsink and OmniCC for CD tracking. Heatsink has a smaller bar that tracks your CDs and a larger impact bar that appears when a CD reaches a span of time that you designate, e.g. at 5 seconds remaining on the CD I have a large bar that displays the time of Barkskin. However, it hasn't been updated in a while so I'm not sure how useful it will be when the patch launches.

Nice UI Norest - it's what I've been trying to build as an improvement on Spartan UI. Your use of unit frames is exactly what I'm after.

Couple of questions:

1. Where do you display group/raid frames?
2. Which mod do you use for the black skin at the bottom?
3. Is Opie intrusive or valuable?
4. What do you use for buff bars?

Hey i've been changing my UI around a lot recently, and i've been looking for an addon or maybe its just an interface option, but something to either remove or move the description box in the bottom right corner (ie: when you mouse over someone and its says who they are and that stuff)... yeah so any suggestions would be great
