Atar Needs UI Help
Atar — Tue, 09/08/2009 - 20:00
I've been trying to work with my UI as of late. I'm looking for any pointers and opinions on how to fix my UI. I like to keep it simple for the most part, but I'm open minded about changing things. Also, I love mods. If you think there are any mods I'd be interested in for tanking, dps, or healing please let me know. I'm not totally done with everything yet. I still have to assign some keybindings and write some macros, but you get the picture. Thanks!

I can't get my Bigwigs and
Atar — Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:18I can't get my Bigwigs and Ora2 to show up on my Fubar for the life of me. Am I missing some pluggins or something? I can't remember how I did it last time. Help!
Thanks guys. I'll give those
Atar — Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:32Thanks guys. I'll give those a shot.
Get rid of Bigwigs and get
Prime8 — Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:30Get rid of Bigwigs and get DBM. Fubar is outdated, what you want is a Fubar replacement (chocolate bar is what Kaluu recommended to me, and it works pretty well), and get Broker2Fubar or Fubar2Broker depending on your needs.
You might need a Broker2Fubar
saedo — Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:29You might need a Broker2Fubar mod, cause every mod is dumping Fubar support in favor of LDB based modules.
So you could use that, or ditch the old way and join the LDB based mods. Like Carousel, TitanPanel, Chocolate, etc.
LDB?

saedo — Thu, 09/10/2009 - 18:25LibDataBroker, basically a new format/standard those plugin mods are adapting to. Exactly like how Ace libraries are. So a lot of those major mods are adopting this and dropping Fubar support.
I use Carousel myself as my LDB bar mod. There are many others out there. Whatever suits your flavor.
ILU Atar but why do you need
Dragon — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 15:57ILU Atar but why do you need to see all your buffs twice? Since you have them up on the upper left side of the screen, turn off the buffs over your character portrait and move class timers (player) over your portrait.
I'd prolly have more to say if I wasn't ready to pass out.
LOLZOMGNUB! Nah JK. Some
Prime8 — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 10:58LOLZOMGNUB!
Nah JK. Some stuff I couldn't see though, where's your omen in your bear form pic? Also, do you have a unit frame for your focus target? On your shaman UI, if there's no place for your TargetofTarget, FocusTarget, or TargetofFocusTarget cast bar, how do you interupt? Macro that shit holmes! Also useful if there's a loose mob running at you, with the intention of raping the holes in your face (chances are if you wind shear, it will run over and rape Ardea instead)
#showtooltip Wind Shear
/cast [target=mouseover, exists] [target=targettarget, harm] [] Wind Shear
I noticed in your bear pic, the shapeshifting icons are ahem, huge. I'm guessing that's so you don't accidentally try to tank in NE form though. It looks like you like your UI like I like my women. Bottom heavy. I prefer to have some of the less than necessary stuff at the top of the screen (things like recount, chat frames, etc). I do like what you've done with TotemTimers.
Omen in bear form is in the
Atar — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 11:24Omen in bear form is in the same place as the cat picture. I forgot to toggle it. I'll try to post a pic once I get into a raid so it will show all that stuff along with my BW timers, Cooldowns, etc. These were just basic screenshots for you to get a basic idea of my setup.
I've not setup my focus unitframes yet. That's next on the list. I do have my target's unitframes up with a quartz cast bar. I'll be fixing the focus ones soon for interupts, etc.
I do like big buttons for the three primary forms. It's just something I've always done. Also, I like to keep most things to the bottom of my screen. It feels like more free space to me.
Another useful shaman macro,
Prime8 — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 11:04Another useful shaman macro, since I don't see purge on your bar:
#showtooltip Cleanse Spirit
/cast [target=mouseover, help] [target=target, help] Cleanse Spirit
/cast [target=mouseover, harm] [target=targettarget, harm] [target=target, harm] Purge
I do have Purge on my bars.
Atar — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 11:26I do have Purge on my bars. #7, but I'll have to try the mouseover macro for it and the cleanse too.
I love you're set up. They
Aidin — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 05:57I love you're set up. They closely resemble my own. The only thing that I wouldn't presonally like is your buff timers. I prefer strina's buff timers. (movable and no bars)
I used to use that mod, but
Atar — Wed, 09/09/2009 - 11:29I used to use that mod, but I like my bars. I guess I could make them a little transparent and scale them down a bit.
