An inspired UI

I have a sucktastic machine. Really. I play with the absolute minimum of RAM required, and somehow I usually manage to multitask pretty well, too. This doesn’t always work great with me being a healer and a slight addon addict.

@warcraftic on Twitter today showed his beautiful new UI and while I can admire it like the work of art it is, I know I’ll never have it. Too many toons, too little patience to deal with oUF myself. But, I’m inspired. And I have been inspired before now. With nostockui.com and tukui and batiui and lui. I’ve really seen some truly beautiful things and come to my own conclusions about what I need to function best in my World of Warcraft adventures.

Showing off my typical ten man UI

and then

Who knew a blood elf shaman was so sexy? Want my armor back though..

I couldn’t live without:
Bartender
Grid
Quartz
Bagnon
Altoholic
Deus Vox Encounters, my preferred boss mod
Cellular (tabbed popup whisper window)
Prat (sounds when a chat happens, in any window)

The NEW UI

I finally got my act together, and stumbled upon a great UI in the comments of Big Bear Butt’s latest post about a screwy addon happenstance. It is Blacksen’s UI, and while sure I pillaged it and tossed out a lot of the heavy memory hogs, I loved the basic pitbull setup and the general look of it.

So, here we have it. This is from our guild meeting. Notice the raid down the left? My tip tac addon in the bottom left above the chat frame is aggravating me. The druid target is a balance, but I am tree spec in this shot. Get the talents right! On the bottom right is my cellular tabs window for whispers. I can minimize it and that’s also where Omen threat meter and Recount are, during real raids, when I want the info. (When I’m healing I usually don’t have omen up, and I almost always open recount after a fight, rather than stare during).

Saturday goal

A new UI.

the blog Fel Fire http://felfire.wordpress.com/ posted the UI of their resto shaman alt, and it’s freaking beautiful!

So Saturday guess what I am doing?

Oh and a great read for shadowpriests or those considering creating one:

Misery rerolled a horde priestess and is documenting her adventures to see if anything has changed from her raiding spriest.
