Re: A beginner's guide to UI?
I used to use Necrosis I used to use LunarSphere I used to use DrDamage I used to use Cartographer The problem being is that when a patch comes out, you never know if the mods you depend on will be updated. I miss some of the features, but I have been able to use macros to conserve space and duplicate some features. For the rest I've gone to other mods, though ultimately I could play with zero mods now - but I wouldn't like it. Anywho, some macros I use. Healthstone in combat, Conjured Mana Strudel left click and Grilled Bonescale right click out of combat: /use [combat] Fel Healthstone; [nobutton:2] Conjured Mana Strudel; Grilled Bonescale; Left click Fear, Right click Howl of Terror: /cast [nobutton:2] Fear; Howl of Terror; Left click teleport, right click summon teleport: /cast [nobutton:2] Demonic Circle: Teleport; Demonic Circle: Summon; Left click drain health, right click drain mana: /cast [nobutton:2] Drain Life; Drain Mana; You get the idea on the whole left click right click usage. As mentioned by others, you can add mod:ctrl|mod:shift|mod:alt to change the behavior again. I use a nostromo so I don't like the modifiers - means I have to go back to the keyboard... Random mount with smart dismount: Uses a random mount you specify based on if you can fly or not. Right click to dismount if you are not flying. #show Bronze Drake /userandom [nobutton:2,flyable,nomounted] Bronze Drake,Onyx Netherwing Drake,Violet Netherwing Drake; [nomounted] Dreadsteed,Stormpike Battle Charger,Swift Brown Steed; /dismount [noflying,button:2] Random specified pet and dismiss on right click: /userandom [nobutton:2] Azure Whelpling,Crimson Whelpling,Dark Whelpling,Egbert,Emerald Whelpling,Ghostly Skull,Phoenix Hatchling,Sinister Squashling,Wolpertinger; /run if GetMouseButtonClicked()=="RightButton" then DismissCompanion("CRITTER") end; Mods I use and would sorely miss: Quartz Pitbull Omen Recount Auctioneer Gatherer Mods I use but could live without: Fubar (and related addons) Mapster Atlas AtlasLootEnhanced CTRaidAssist TrinketMenu Others I can remember off the top of my head... |

After looking at my post I decided to throw together a guide. I'll hopefully have it up soon. |

Re: A beginner's guide to UI?
I'm seeing alot of love for Bartender. I've never used it. I have been reasonably happy with Dominoes (was Bongoes 1/2). Just wondering if anyone has tried both and their take on it, and why one is better for them. |

Re: A beginner's guide to UI?
Many thanks for your replies people. I do use macros, practically every button has multiple functions and set up in such a way that I never need to click or even see an icon in combat, took me a lot time to get it like that though. But I have never used dottimers, castbars or stuff that removes all the clutter on the screen, and have a high level resistance against fiddeling with stuff, when I get home from work I want to play. Updating DBM,ORA,Recount and Omen is enough of a bother and in my gaming experience the more mods you use, the more critical errors and maintainence you get. So I guess what I wanted was an UI for dummies, where to begin, addons with a lot of functionality easy to install, maintain and customize and I think your responses was what I was looking for.
