During the last raid before christmas break I promoted a newly downloaded UI package which some of you decided to try out. I've been testing it for a while, and figured out what works and what doesn't.
Mod package includes:
FuBar, Bartender, Bigwigs, Inflight (timer), layout modifications, spell timers, KTM, oRA2 +++ Most addons use Ace2 and are low on memory usage, I got better FPS (non-raid) with this UI than my old one! Another plus is that the download contains a WTF-file with all the UIs settings, so you don't have to configure much after you install it.
What works and what doesn't:
- Mobinfo doesn't seem to work. Not exactly sure what it does, so am not missing it much
- Xloot popped up with a error message. Don't cry though, the addon sucked donkeys bollocks through a garden hose IMO anyways.
- Since oRA doesn't have raidframes, you need to download some external addon. sRaidframes or Perfect Raid works nice tho. (I have sRaidframes on this screenie. Looks like Perl/Ctra ones)
- Smartbuff is nice to download, especially for decursers since it now contains a smartDebuff. Gives you a grid of the entire raid which with one click removes a debuff. Makes prioritization easier too. (you see the grid on my screenie, places beside my action buttons)
- Cryolysis! (well duh. Package has Necrosis, not Cryolysis. rascist!)
- I'm a damage sleeper, so damagemeters and critline is always nice. Just don't link it in raid chat
One thing that does annoy me is the grey bar placed above chat, lying under the action buttons. This UI is probably made or someone with an insane resolution/graphic card/screen, so the gray area is probably meant to be a background to put your spellbuttons over. But if I were to have my spellbuttons that small I would need binoculars to play. Anyone bother to figure out how to remove it? I'll try to figure it out if I can muster up the strength and patience.
I'll STFU now. You go download,young padawan. And may the force be with you.
And merry christmas to you all! *huggles*
