I was wondering if the Healer community had any suggestions for a Hayatet Shaman in regards to improving the basic interface with addons. Currently my screen is getting very crowded and I'd like some bigger and better icons for my targets. Things I'm looking to improve: 1: Entire layout of my UI with improvements to spacing and visibility 2: Better Action Bar customization. Things like extending them or changing their overall sizes. 3: Id love better group frames as well with the ability to customize the size of my Friendly and Hostile targets as well as my group itself 4: Better buff and debuff management. At the moment it seems when I'm in a group that my buffs just rule the top of my screen and the debuffs on my hostile target take up more of the screen. Is there anything to improve this? 5: Something that makes seeing the debuffs on friendly tagets easier so I can Purge. I've messed around with the default ones to improve and help in these areas but I think its come to the point of I need an Addon to take care of this. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. I do have CUrse as well.
I am guessing you are using the default UI from your comments. I myself am currently using the ManicUI and I mainly play a bird shammy. I love the UI, but do wish it had more slots for the healer hotbar. Another favorite is the DroxUI in its many forms, there is also CustomUI which gives a lot of manual customization of some of the best UI's made. Most can be found at vginterface.com. If you would like to see how the UI I use looks, check out my vids at: http://vanguardforever.wordpress.com/.
Yeah it is the default with some customization based on the layout of everything. I will definitely take a look at those though thank you. I was hoping to avoid it before end game but I might as well get my UI setup now before I get too used to the default one.
Try the Drox UI. It is the one I have been using for a few years now. The healer bar and the options for both the buffs and debuffs are pretty good. Keep in mind no one UI will do it all unless you do some manual tweaking. There are screenshots on the VGInterface website so those should help you to choose your UI.
Yeah I had a feeling it was going to be similar to WoW in that i would probably need to combine a few different mods to completely satisfy what I'm looking for which is basically to consolidate viewing room, improve buff and debuff visibility and improve my hotbars and group frames. Appreciate the responses and will check them out when I get home from work. Should I manage them through the Curse client? Something I need to look into.
That's a nice UI, Quert, have the WoW ish UI feel to it just a question though, you have many icons of your Remedy on the left one, is that part of the UI to show those like that?
Oh wow, sorry for the late response to this and I hope you are still playing and/or will read this. The reason I have so many of the same spell slotted is that is the Healer Hotbar, so when I am in a group each group member has his name on one of the rows under my name. If I want to cast a spell on that group member, be it a heal or whatever else I have slotted on that row all I have to do is click on the spell and the game auto targets the character who's name is on that row and casts the spell on them. Saves so much time in a fight to not have to try and watch everyones health, try and fight and fumble around switching targets. Just click and forget.
