Altered Time - your #1 World of Warcraft Mage resource!

Greetings!

I shared a SS of my UI in a raid with a friend and he laughed at me because apparently it was so bad

I'm simply looking for a basic UI with a focus on CD timers & buff duration with obviously decent tracking of AM&AC charges & mana.

I have looked around and I ended up taking from a bunch of different UIs and it looks like garbage. Anyone feel generous enough to help me out?

It's one thing to look for specific addon help, but another to ask for an entire prepackaged UI customized for a spec with all the bells and whisles. If the existing prepackaged solutions such as ElvUI don't fit what you are looking for and you're unwilling to modify them as you like, I'm afraid you might be out of luck.

ElvUI

Is any mage here with experience in LUA programming and addon configuration using that? I never found the use for it because individual addons can do anything with more setup freedom. I don't know though if I miss something.

I am not experienced with LUA or configuring addons, but the reason I use ElvUI as my base is because its updated frequently and quickly if an issue does arise. I've used a combination of multiple addons before, but some were updated quickly for new patches/expansions, while others took more time, and things were broken longer. Of course the flip side of that is if something is really broken then its possible that your whole UI is a mess or unusable, but I haven't found that to be the case yet.

^The main reason I don't use it is that I don't want to add stuff that I don't need before I need them. For instance, I don't want to change my bars yet since I use bartender so efficiently. I find it unfair how people are impressed at elvui when most that use it tweak nothing.

I don't follow what you mean. How is some people's subjective opinion that they like ElvUI fair or unfair against those who prefer other options? Its all personal preference since there's a million different ways to do a UI and it only matters to each person if their UI works well for them individually. What does fairness have to do with opinion?

I can strongly recommend ElvUI. I have used it for several years and doubt i will abandon it.

Yes, you can fix more or less the same thing with other addons, but its so much smoother to have one main addon that you can change every setting with, then you dont have to learn how to configure everything in so many addons. Plus, everything looks the same automatically.

Also, i dont think there is anything wrong with not tweaking ElvUI - i think moste people who doesnt tweak it is because the dont want to be UI-nerds like me for example. They want to get a decent UI that works but dont have the need to fix it to show everything that a mythic raider/raidleader need. And if you are one of these persons its very good to have ElvUI when start to get more interested in perfecting the UI, since when you discover one setting you can use it everywhere right away without learning new addons.

I use standard UI, bruh.

The only reason I use Elvui is because of the good looking map + buffs tracker... The raidframes are also pretty good.

If you don't want ElvUI to mess with your bars, you just go into the config and uncheck it. Bam. Discrediting an entire project or making fun of the people that use it because YOU don't understand how to turn off an option, with literally one checkbox, is silly.

For arcane Weakauras works nicely
With 4set arcane
