[Search] a good Warlock Interface
 

Hello my name is Infection,

I´m very new on this Board, and my english is very bad. I hope the peoples can unterstand it what i mean. ;)

I search for a Warlock Interface. I have since yesterday a 80 Warlock, but i haven´t got any addons. (questhelper was the only one)
Have someone a good Warlock Interface. I search for a good pvp Interface. The ui must be habe a interface/map/mini bar but no so....how can i say it.....
the screen will simply not be completely full with stupid addons. In the interface must be everything clean and tidy list of cool and easy to use, there must be only the most pure.

I hope somone have understand what i mean. ;) Sorry for my bad english.

nUI and ForteXorcist (Forte Warlock) is all ya need /nods

imho nUI have some unneeded information + to many screen space taken by that UI t_t
I'm playing Hunter and still searching for some UI - and I need it to be as clean as possible, I know some of good UI - but trouble is - sreen resolution...

my bro playing warlock and he seems satisfyed by just X-perl with his own options turned on or off... so it's up to You, I don't think there's much interfaces for Warlock specialy...
p.s.
yeah - my engl even worse than u'rs)

It takes up too much screen space? I disagree :p All of the other UI's have unit frames going all the way up the sides of the screen... nUI does not. Everything is localized towards the bottom of the screen, freeing up the entire middle of the screen and top (optional, you can hide the top and the hud).

Im getting the feeling Ak1ra after a rather minimalist style UI. Cant ask for more screen real estate than that.

To the OP: You should look through the Compilations and Suites Category. I do however recommend giving nUI a try as Silenia has said.

To the OP and Ak1ra: If you cant find anything there to your liking in the above category then you will have to make one yourself. It may not be the solution your after but if you factor in all the time your spending trying to find the perfect remade UI chances are you would have been able to make it twice over hehe.

Either way good hunting to you both =)

i've tryed to make my own UI but I still lack exp in Lua programming and so on, I'm truely after minimalist UI cause I wan't to have as much space as I can)

So tnx ^ ^


As for nUI - I donno how 'bout compared to other UI's - but from what I saw - nUI is the most space-eating interface among them =\
but it's for me ofc, I don't have anything against that UI, I just hate when I can use only half of my screen for observing world)

You don't need LUA experience to make your own ui. You simply need enough knowledge to download addons and arrange them to suit your own needs. Most action bar and unit frame mods will hide the default blizzard stuff and from there you just use whatever options you want with each addon. You really only need LUA experience if you choose a unit frame platform like OUF and don't like any of the pre-made plugins.

Look at all that free uncluttered screen real estate and scrumptious nUI goodness... rawr!

Well over half of the screen is free from any addons. Edit: In fact, that is my entire screen. nUI does not cover any of my screen. There is nothing to see behind nUI.

Compare some of the popular UI's (according to the most downloaded here). nUI wins without a shadow of doubt when it comes to screen real estate.

What she said ^------^

nUI...
I'd rather piss glass than use that ****.

Anyway, WoWi has quite a few good UIs in the minimalistic category, but it's always best to make your own. If you dont know LUA, you can use AddOns that has an In-Game config.

Elitist Jerks is a good place for inspiration.

Malev UI IMO

yeah it's quite right to show nUI soloing screenshot and other UI's in Raid)))
anyway I still could see more screen space at minimalistic UI's WITH raid/party frames than nUI soloing -_- perhaps it's my low-resolution monitor...
And still to do something like this I guess I need some help =\

What is covered and what is wasted space is a matter of perception. I can understand where Ak1ra is coming.

Ill qualify myself by saying that i generally go for the dashboard design (links below) with my personal UI's. What i will say however is that i did in fact give nUI a test run when it first released. I always try something new and fancy. The size of the dashboard overall was what ultimately had me not using it. While the viewport above the dash is in fact very clean the overall size of the dash was more than i prefer. (most of my UI's with the exception of my timers occupy a space of about 85 pixels across the bottom of the screen. 100 if its a raiding UI)

As for clarity and access to info there is no doubt as to how well nUI its set up. The one advantage of the UI's you linked is that when they aren't raiding they cover less screen overall. The advantage of nUI in this case is its screen coverage does not increase when raiding.

Its a matter of personal taste what style you go for. This is in no way a slight on Scott's work. In fact i try to help out when i can to answer questions and often recommend it to others. Its just a simple fact of how you perceive that space in terms of use and coverage. You might see clean uncluttered space. Someone else (Ak1ra in this case) sees too much screen used up.

My questing/raid dps UI

Raid healing UI

Of course, this is in fun... so don't anyone go getting all uppity lol.

Me thinks someone needs to read the forum rules...

I'm so glad that you were able to re-word everything I said (except the bit about pissing glass). It takes real intelligence to break down a carefully thought out paragraph attempting to help someone, into one single sentence, especially with the completely reasonable commentary on nUI. Of COURSE you would rather experience excruciating pain during urination than to use nUI. Why wouldn't you? Most people would prefer to actually comment on what they didn't like about any particular addon, or to simply state it doesn't suit their tastes in a ui, but oh no! not you! You recomended Elitest Jerks as a place to look for ui's. Sounds like a nice place. Maybe you could go there... and stay for a while.

I got a giggle out of it =)

What I'm trying to say is nUInterface would be difficult to use if he/she 's just got his character and never used any of that kind Addons...
Than again nUI is super informative and highly-configurable, and this is what I do not like - to cofigure so much, that's why I'm not using Pitbull 3.0 and w8ing for 4th to be released)

In reality you can load it up and it just runs. It doesn't require any configuration. Tweaking to personal preference however is available and might be necessary with any compilation you download.

If you don't want to have to configure anything, then you probably shouldn't use any addons at all. No matter how well set up a ui is, eventually you're probably gonna want to tweak something in it. The only ui that really doesn't require any configuration at all is the default, but who really wants that?

nUI does not require any configuration at all. Drop the folder in the Addons directory and it runs without any set up whatsoever. It even auto sizes itself to fit whatever screen resolution you may have.

Honestly, other than the default UI, you will not find another UI like nUI that needs no configuration at all. Anywhere.

As long as I got at least one person in the thread to smile, then I've done good. :D

Take that and double it. :D:D

I'll see your two and raise you one more! :D:D:D

Read em and weep.:D:D:D:D Four of a kind!

Bite Me. :D:D:D:D:D Royal Straight

:banana:

I did not want the discussions occur here, I have search an interface for my Warlock, where only the most important in it, there should be an accurate good style of interface have her, but still a lot of visual space by wow promise.

I hope anyone have understand it. ;)

I find this interface very nice http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5485/ui2sz1.jpg you can find it on http://elitistjerks.com/f32/t23417-s...o_really_read/ the first side, the fourth post!

Aaaaw :rolleyes:
*hugs* There, there.

When I say I think a UI is bad, it's my personal opinion.
If it works great for someone else though, that's great, goal accomplished IMO.
I wasnt trying to say what is good/bad about nUI, yes, other people probably say what they dont like about a UI/addon.
Guess what.
I have my own personality!
I bought it off Ebay. :O

Anyways, I apologise if I offended you. I didn't think you would take it personally. I respect your opinion of course.

Edit: I never actually said that nUI is a bad UI, by the way. ^^ I just think it's ugly. And I wouldn't be able to play with it.

Spartan UI ^^ But I think it needs a / command still.

This thread has inspired me to create a minimalistic UI.

Personally I like lots of info, but I definitely do acknowledge that my UI can get cluttered esp in 25s with full raid buffs... that and I'm an addonaholic.

Monday I'll do some tinkering, and post here to see if you like what I come up with. :cool:

warlock ui
 

i am fairly new to the game but as a pvp and pve warlock i use ony 2 addons necroisis and carbonite these keep everything tidy i have yet to find a good bar add yet plz help if you know of a good match for these.:banana:

You could try Bartender4/dominos or something similar. :) You can get Button Facade, wich changes the look, and there are plenty of Button Facade skins here n WoWi.

Bartender or Dominos :)

ty i will give a good look to all i would like to see the game not the ui lol:cool:

For a beginner who is willing to spend some time I would recommend going to this page and watching some of the videos. It will introduce you to addons commonly used in making a basic and factional UI.

As others have said, I also highly recommend something like dominos/bartender+pitbull/X-Perl. You can also look at turning off the unit frame buff display and get something like Satrina buffs, which you can drag and size independently of the unit frames.

They can both be stripped down to the absolute bare minimum of action bars you want to be seen, are pretty unobtrusive, you can drag the frames anywhere you want, and extremely customizable. Dominos can also make my action bars completely fade out unless I mouse-hover, which can effectively make them totally disappear if you know the key-bindings well. I'm sure bartender does the same thing. I know dominos is pretty painless to set up, and I remember bartender also being easy, since they are pretty much just floating action bars you can turn on/off and drag icons onto.

On the other hand, the replacement unit frames will take a while to set up to your satisfaction. I'd say X-Perl is probably a little more friendly than pitbull, although pitbull will let you configure just about every single little knob you can imagine about how your interface looks. I personally like X-Perl's raid frame better, but if you are looking at PvP/leveling, then it probably doesn't matter as much. I'd expect to spend about an hour sitting down setting up the unit frames mostly playing around with what you want to see and what you want to hide and where everything is.

I've got an 80 raiding warlock and during raids the only things I have on the screen are a couple of dominos bars, X-Perl self, raid, target and focus frames, DoTimer, Satrina and Omen. Outside of raids I also have a number of other addons that take up some more screen space that I got back from using the others and still have more space left over than using the default action bars & unit frames.
