If you use pitbull4 or xperl, I find it really helpful to increase the aura size for your own debuffs. This way, I can clearly see such important buffs such as pyrite stacks, malygos drake dots, etc.

With Xperl, it doesn't usually work when you're in a vehicle. I've noticed that especially on Malygos, no dots are the size of my own debuffs, even though my dot is definitely up.

if you use Elkano's BUffbars it's much easier to see your own debuffs. I also use xperl and I found the debuffs under my character to get bulky and in the way of the party or raid frames

My bad. I knew that xperl had that functionality but my experience was with pitbull4.

The main difference is the modularization of Pitbull4 compared to Pitbull 3. In Pitbull 3, you had a tree set up with all of your settings. Each tree had the same settings. What they did in Pitbull 4 is had all of those settings placed in one spot and treat them as a "layout." Once you had a layout set, you can assign that layout to "Player", "Target", "Player's Pet", etc. If you liked a setting that you would like to use for "Player" modular and the "Player's Pet" modular, you could assign that same layout to both, saving memory. You still can custimize a specific look for each module, but you don't have to. Personally I find Pitbull 4 to be a lot more powerful of a mod then Pitbull 3. It really didn't come to fruitation until they were able to implement Auras into mod.

Can you copy a profile from pitbull3 into pitbull4? or does it require a totally new setup process?

Cyntil: Nope. You have to redo the setup process. For people who like really clean setups, this is an opportunity to organize your layouts very neatly, especially compared to the mess Pitbull3 forced on you.

At the moment the difference between Pitbull3 and Pitbull4 is mostly a result of Pitbull4 being in beta. There are a fair number of minor bugs in Pitbull4 (but then again there are some bugs that will never be resolved in Pitbull3).
I made the switch because I like playing around with beta, once it is mostly functional.

Hinalover did a good job explaining most of the differences. I don't think there is a single thing you can do with Pitbull3 that isn't technically possible atm in Pitbull4. There might a few minor features that haven't been implemented, but not that I can think of. The only real issue that nearly delayed my transition was the way vehicles are implemented, workarounds are needed atm for minor aspects of vehicles.

I agree with this. I experimented with Pitbull 4 over the weekend and liked the interface over Pitbull 3 once I got the hang of it. The layout system is nice.

However, I ended up going back to Pitbull 3 because I could not lower the opacity of my health and mana bars. When I moved the slider, the bars ended up turning black instead of becoming translucent.

Zelik: You need to disable your background.
(1) Go to "Layout editor"
(2) Select the relevant layout from the "Current layout" dropdown menu
(3) Click on the "Other" tab
(4) select the "Background" tab"
(5) uncheck "Enable"


You could substitute (5) with (5b) change the color of your background as desired. If you just want to change the background color, but not disable it entirely.

My current Ui which i've been tweeking slowly for a while.



I have scorch/shadow mastery/winter's chill and living bomb debuffs above my cast bar and all debuffs below my cats bar. My Hot streak proc is to the right of my character in the same way living bomb is displayed.

addons:


Is anybody else using either Gnome Out of Mana or Timetooom? Or even an alternative out of mana timer? I'm struggling to get accurate results with either add on and help with either would be great
