Well, i'd first caveat these suggestions saying you gotta stick with what you're comfortable with...but I think you could do some decluttering/organization to maximize real estate. Plus, once you start loading raid addons like Ora2 and Omen, it could get cluttered in a hurry.


Keybinds: I see Avenging wrath, holy wrath, and consecration bound to 1, 2, 3. Does this imply that there's a lot of clicking going on for CS, DS, JoL, HoW? Try to set some keybinds. Some people like to use mouse buttons, some like to use the keys around WASD. Personally I use 1-5 and Shift 1-5 from my primary 10 abilities.


Action Bars: Stack Em, Consolidate them into one part of your screen


Map: Seems kinda big...positioning ain't bad but perhaps could be smaller, and more aligned with other bars


Recount: Way too big...reduce font size and shrink that down to about 25% size


Grid: Also seems way to big as a DPS'er. Though if you heal a lot offspec, I can understand the size.


Sunn Viewport art: This will draw a rectangular bar going across(color/pattern of ur choosing) at the bottom of your UI. You can size it and make the WoW viewport resize to fit on top of the bar. On this bar, you can dump a whole bunch of your buttons and other addons to make sure you're "gameplay" real estate is maximized.


Here's some links to some UI's that are pretty compact and nice linking. They have a list of all addons they use. Not suggesting that you carbon copy them, but that you take at least some design suggestions. I actually tried Bati's UI and while it looked great, found it to be impractical for me raiding-wise...this is all i can think of at 8:30 in the morning

Ok here are the first big

Dragon — Fri, 10/02/2009 - 11:54

Ok here are the first big things I noticed about your app:

(Disclaimer: I raid on a warrior but rumor is I know a thing or 2 about paladins)

#1. You aren't just over the hit cap, you're stupidly over the hit cap. Hit cap for the alliance is 7% (we shit draeneis afterall), which is 230 HR, You are at 349. Neck is a good option to replace.

#2. You are kinda in an uncomfortable grey area as far as expertise goes right now. 3 more and you are capped such that you dont need the glyph, however if you are able to drop about 5 expertise you would find that Glyph of Seal of Vengeance is better for you than exorcism because it would cap you.

#3. BAD PALADIN BAD BAD BAD. ALWAYS have 2 points in guardians favor. See we have these dumb silly people in raid, they like to wear dresses while they piss off Big Nasty. If you bop them before Big Nasty gets there, they offer sexual favors to you in PM. I'd reccomend not BoPing knoppix though cause no one loves him really :)

#4. With the change to SoComm this patch, you could justify moving some points out of seals of the pure and into vindication so you can be AoE AP reducer bitch.

#5. Final question, what horde guild was your alt in on Uldaman. I was on that server for a time and I still have a coupla RL friends who play on the server.

I don't love you either :P

Knoppix (not verified) — Fri, 10/02/2009 - 12:27

I don't love you either :P

1. Yeah my weapon and

saintsteven — Fri, 10/02/2009 - 12:21

1. Yeah my weapon and shoulders and legs chest alll shit covered with hit i know.  But I hope to get some better pieces.

here is a list i would like i took it from ej since it was all nice organized for me

 

This list is for a JC/BS. i might with to BS since im already a jc but idk im likeing eng on my other pally more as i play ahhh options.

Blood Elf/Alliance 25 Normal Mode (no Ulduar Hard Mode) + Plate Priority:

Head: [Liadrin's Helm of Triumph]/[Turalyon's Helm of Triumph]
Neck: [The Executioner's Vice]/[The Executioner's Malice]
Shoulders: [Liadrin's Shoulderplates of Triumph]/[Turalyon's Shoulderplates of Triumph]
Back: [Might of the Nerub]/[Strength of the Nerub]
Chest: [Turalyon's Battleplate of Triumph]
Wrist: [Titanium Spikeguards]
Hands: [Liadrin's Gauntlets of Triumph]/[Turalyon's Gauntlets of Triumph]
Waist: [Bloodbath Girdle]/[Bloodbath Belt]
Legs: [Legguards of Ascension]
Feet: [Greaves of the 7th Legion]
Finger1: [Bloodshed Band]
Finger2: [Ring of the Violent Temperament]/[Band of the Violent Temperment]
Trinket1: [Darkmoon Card: Greatness]
Trinket2: [Death's Choice]
Weapon: [Dual-blade Butcher]/[Justicebringer]
Libram: [Libram of Valiance]

 

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE [Titanium Spikeguards] been trying ot get these made since i got here.

#2 there are lots of pieces of gear with expertise i just have to take it away from a dps war and dk's Cool and having a 20% increase in a spell that crits when i fight undead wow i want that.

 

#3 hmmm yeah big nasty is usually what they call me but a raid boss going to face smash a dps is a bad thing.  Well lets see im thinking you guys run 4 pallys at least in your raid for optimal buffs. so that 1 tankadin 1 ret and 2 holy. that 4 bops and the tankadin will have the reduced cooldown so more bops.  Also i see garreth has spec into blessed hand so any dps that is about to go over he/she can hit him with a 100% reduction in agro so sweet. Also with the amout of dps mages, locks, and rogues are doing i dont think i will have to bop knoppix he just wont be pulling out the dps to pull agro Tongue out

#4 yeah SOC change is nice.  A good dps increase for trash but not for bosses.  Also shouldn't the dps warr with there impro demo be the ap reducer bitch?  Since i think they have a better ap reducer bitch talent? also if i take points out of SOP its a dps loss on my vin no no no not going to happen

#5 i was in Nightmare i lvled my other pally "narco" in there.

Dragon's picture

#1. Well at least you know

Dragon — Fri, 10/02/2009 - 20:14

#1. Well at least you know ElitistJerks. I *THINK* Redcape's spreadsheet is Mac compatable so you might want to check it out.

#2. Yes it is, but you also have to remember that it has a cooldown of 15 seconds. That is what most people forget when they pick up that glyph. Yes it's a dps increase, so is GoSoV and exo is currently the weakest of our dps glyphs.

#3. Trust me, take Guardians Favor. Besides, Divinity no longer provides the extra 5% healing to everyone else off it anymore since it was changed.

#4. Forgot it effected SoV, but um. Warriors have a WORSE AP reducer bitch talent. Ours takes 5 points, paladins tanks 2. Ours takes a global CD, yours is kept up in your rotation.

#5. I don't remember Nightmare so you are safe for now.

Knoppix (not verified) — Tue, 09/29/2009 - 09:31

Just a heads up, keep your app bumped to the top and stay active on it, the community likes to see you care.  I know you are at work all day but when you get home take a look at this, make comments or w/e.  And do what Garreth says, that is usally the best way to get known.  If you really have the time to raid pretty hardcore make sure you are on at our raid times.

garreth — Tue, 09/29/2009 - 01:13

Seems to know his shit. Join the dfrecruit channel in game, we call upon dps regularly in there. I'd like to see you run some stuff with us (even though you are Knop's cousin, and we <3 Knop) before we can talk ginvites. It's nice seeing apps with decent UIs :) Looking forward to seeing you around.
