Revisiting the UI

I decided tor revisit my UI after some frustrations with X-Perl, buffs, etc. I switched from TitanPanel to Fubar, installed Baud bag for inventory management, fit in a Hits Mode box and re-jiggered all of my raid frames using PitBull 4.0. PitBull is great once you get past the daunting initial setup. Still haven’t tried this in a raid yet, so we’ll have to see how that goes.

Other Add-ons used:

  • Coolline

  • ElksBuffBars
  • MSBT
  • ButtonFacade
  • Bindpad
  • Bartender
  • Prat

The only issue I’ve run into is when jumping into vehicles, my Bindpad keybinds don’t default to the vehicle. So when I jump on a jousting mount, 1 no longer attacks, 2 no longer throws the lance, etc. Not a huge deal, but will make it annoying on vehicle fights and ToC. Pretty sure I can figure out a solution.

Reclaiming your real estate

Since I’ve been raiding more and more in this game I’ve struggled to make sure I am making optimal use of my screen area while still being able to keep track of all things hunterish. I think I finally found a workable configuration so I thought I would share. It should be noted that something like this, that uses a lot of addons and liberal use of the screen space, requires a computer with a little more oomph and a large monitor.

    My PC:

  • Windows Vista 64-Bit OS
  • 4GB RAM
  • Intel Core2 Quad CPU – 2.34GHz
  • nVidia 9500GT graphics card
  • Monitor – 22″ Westinghouse L2210NW

My goal here is to get the maximum amount of information to me while being able to see as much of what is going on as possible. Still haven’t tested this latest layout in a party/raid environment so that will come later this week.

It should be noted that I am running MiksScrollingBattleText, but for some reason it doesn’t show up in screenshots.
