Sylgian, awesome UI.
I have configured mine but am just curious how you managed to get the red and blue (HP and Mana) showing at the bottome of your UI. I cant figure out how you manaed that.

You are most likely referring to this. Phrygian incorporated my kgpanels textures and basic setup, not my whole UI. But his health/mana lower bars were done through pitbull unitframes. (He did a very nice job with it as well)

Here's mine in a raiding situation. It probably needs another iteration or two, but it's something to start with.



Visible/Relevant Addons:
Bartender4
BigWigs
Clique
ElkBuffBars
FuBar + roughly a dozen modules
Grid
Incubator
Omen
OmniCC
PitBull4
Power Auras Classic (visible in the screenshot for Hot Streak)
Prat
Quartz
Recount
Scorchio
SCT (I haven't switched to MSBT yet, I'm a creature of habit)
SexyMap
TipTac

Just looking at it now, my next change is probably going to be switching from ElkBuffBars to Buffalo or another similar buff mod because the bars are taking up almost the full height of my screen, which is a lot of real estate. Another change will be using OPie to help eliminate that ugly clutter of buttons in the bottom-right corner.

I've been a big fan of the player + target unit frames down near the bottom since I watched some of kerp's (Last Resort) videos from back in BC, and it makes sense since my eyes will gravitate towards there for Omen and cooldown tracking anyway. (Focus is not visible, it's right above player.)

A few things regarding good add ons:

1. Grid is amazing and I typically always use it in my UIs, however currently I am just using pitbull raid frames and if you utilize mouseover macros it makes grid + clique not neccesary. Still useful and a different look, so still a great add on.

2. power auras is really amazing, i guess its preference but if you dont have something to show your hot streaks etc I really really recommend starting with this one. I have gotten a little crazy lately about making auras for almost everything I need in arena (when focus has a grounding totem, aura mastery, when target has icebound fortitude etc) its fun to try to make them look really cool

3. Forte Xorcist is a great add on for a few things, CD tracking, dot timers and CD pulses. The CD pulse is really useful because it takes up less memory than ghost pulse, and the dot timers are good because they are multi target if thats what you want. This add on has like a million modules, so its probably for only more advanced UI users.

So Pitbull 3 is more up to date than Pitbull 4, according to Curse Client? Most people are using what?

pitbull4 is definitely more up to date. Pitbull3 was last updated 4/14. Pitbull4 was last updated 6/16.

I am using Pitbull4.

correlation =/= causation

Also of note is Pitbull4 is TECHNICALLY still in Beta. This is the reason that Curse hasn't updated their site with the June 16th update. They don't post Beta. If you have the client though you can set it to download the "beta" version and it will update automatically to the latest version.

Addons:



I'm not happy with the look of the raidframe, although it "works" fine. My memory usage is about 15mb.

Shieldmonitor has proven a great addon espacially for PvP.

I am using the following addons:


AddonMananger, Align, ArkInventory, aSettings, Auctionator, Bartender4, BetterInbox, BindPad, ButtonFacade (Apathy), Cellular, Chatter, Chinchilla, CowTip, DBM, EnhancedColourPicker, evl_NamePlates, FuBar (DurabilityFu, LocationFu, MailFu, MicroMenu, PerformanceFu, MoneyFu, TrackerFu, uClock), GatherMate, GhostPulse3Beta, Grid, GridStatusHots, HatTrick, kgPanels, MasterLoot, MyThreat, NiceDamage, OmniCC, OPie, Parrot, pError, PitBull4, Quartz, RangeColors, RatingBuster, Recount, Reflux, SatrinaBuffFrames, SharedMedia (HUGE PACK), Skinner, StealYourCarbon, tekErr.

GhostPulse3Beta is not available yet, as I am in a closed beta of it, but it will be available soon. I use Grid as I am used to it from previously being a healer and it gives me a good run down of everyone's health in addition to it being easier for me to decurse.

I use the macro:

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][help][target=player] Remove Curse
I keybind it to remove curses while mouse-over.

Here is a download of this particular interface, made by me - Ele UI : WoWInterface Downloads : Generic Compilations

I would also like to add that this interface compilation comes with notifications for spell and talent procs (Hot Streak, Missile Barrage) in addition to having a custom kgpanel text that shows how many AB stacks you currently have.

Picture below showing custom AB stacks on screen:

Thanks to inspiration from Sylgian and Phrygian, I've recently rebuilt my UI from the ground up.

I've tried to achieve a couple important things with this rebuild:
- A (more) intuitive layout
- Obvious display of critical information
- A clearer view of my surroundings to help situational awareness. I really dislike UI's that have incredible amounts of clutter onscreen...for example, MSBT, while nice, absolutely needs to be configured so it's less intrusive. Raid frames (for DPS) shouldn't take up 30% of availiable screen space.




I have set up Satrina Buff Frames to inform me of hot streak procs, track living bomb and scorch (right above the target frame) as well as polymorph. It also tracks important raiding buffs and debuffs (like storm cloud and toasty fire) and procs (lightweave, dying curse, etc.)

The "blank space" in the bottom right holds Recount and can hold Grid, if I decide that I prefer that to my Pitbull raid frames. Recount is hidden in combat as I perform better when I focus on the fight instead of meter-watching.

Addons:
Pitbull4
Bartender
Quartz
Satrina Buff Frames
MyThreat
MSBT
kgPanels
ButtonFacade
SexyMap
Fubar (and assorted modules)
Prat (chat plugin)
DBM
oRA2 (not visible - important to note: Pitbull requires oRA to show main tanks)
PowerAuras (not visible)
Recount (not visible)
DagAssist (not visible - one of the simplest and best portal/teleport organization addons I've found)

I took your image out to save space. The only thing I was curious about is where is your targets cast bar?

I am curious as to how you achieved the debuff information for TTW, scorch, misery etc. below your target frame. I was trying to think of a clever way to do this myself, but it looks like you've done the leg work already.
