I do like your UI as far as efficiency goes. You have what you need to see nicely placed (Ex: Grid centered, meters off to the side, etc.) About the Grid looking like Vuhdo comment, it’s not hard to replicate the look, just turn your bar anchor horizontal. I have my Grid set this way in small rectangles. My version won’t let me see mana bars atm, but it’s actually a blessing because I, as our only resto druid, don’t often give innervates, so as long as I see my own mana (Via Pitbull and a low threshold power aura) I’m okay innervating myself or calling for it from a mana-chicken.

I don’t however, like the UI as far as cleanliness. I know it’s function before fashion, but a clean UI allows you to observe your environment and respond more quickly. (Ex: Idiot standing in fire *mouses over said idiot and casts to save him*) As a healer, and raider in general, environmental awareness is very important.

I would actually be delighted if you and I could get in touch and maybe swap ideas. You help me make a more efficient UI and I could help you clean up a bit. My e-mail is . I’ll send you a picture of my UI and see where it goes from there. I would encourage anyone else interested in cleaning up their UI to also send me a screenshot. I love cleaning up the UI’s of my friends/guildmates.

Love the site btw.

UI posts are always interesting. As you said, your UI should always be a work in progress so UI posts can be very educational too.

I gave in and ordered a Razor Naga this week and I’m really excited about it. I also mousebind my heals and I’m looking forward to have a lot more buttons to play with.

Yay UI geekery.

The part of me that is a Vuhdo zealot wants to point out that you seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to make Grid look exactly like Vuhdo

Wow that looks awesome. I probably need some UI lessons from you. Mine is lame and needs work.

I love UI posts!

If you would like to move your “number of heroic attempts left” text that I can see is overlapping your hostile unit frame then you can do this with the following script:

/script WorldStateAlwaysUpFrame:ClearAllPoints()
/script WorldStateAlwaysUpFrame:SetPoint(“TOP”, UIParent, “TOP”, -50, -50);

Then you can just repeat the last part and fiddle with the values so that it ends up where you like it.

I’ve made my own addon and just added that script minus the /script part into the lua file of my addon so that it’s always done when I login.

I really like the changes that Kae recommended for DBM, it made it much better in my opinion!
