Some improvements for default UI

Raid frames show only 3 debuffs, that is way too low for pvp enviroment. Make it possible to show as many buffs/debuffs as we want on raid frames.
There is no way to see casting bars over non-targeted players, that would be good. When you have "consolidate buffs" on and you mouse over that buff box, you see those buffs at their own box. Make it possible to keep that box on all time, even when you don't have mouse over it. Make it possible to see DoT's and maybe some other debuffs on top of other players nameplates. I leveled my mage to 85 and it is very hard to keep track on who has what debuff for how long all time. Make it possible to set enemy frames at arena to look like raid frames, it looks much better and easier than having normal player frames. (I like to do some things like multidotting and CCing by mouseover, and raid frames are easier to mouseover at. [please don't rumble me in this thread because this is not what pros do]) Make ICD of different talents and trinkets to be visible as debuff (for example Sacred Shield, Cauterize,  Ruthless Gladiator's Insignia of Victory).Make it possible to make macro like for example /target cat/dog that targets out of many different named creatures. In this example it would target either cat or dog. If you are looking for 2 or more different names of creatures, there is no way to macro targeting them all. (I know you could do macro like /tar catbut that doesn't target them normally, for example it would target dead dog 50 yards behind you over living cat 10 yards in front of you.) This targeting macro I would like to get implemented would work like normal targeting slash command does.Make target of target to not overlap your target's debuffs. PS: If you know any addons that would do some of these things I listed, I would like to know :) |
Addon: Tidyplates can do that |
I just deleted tidyplates because I couldnt figure out how to do that >< |

Another thing I'd like to see it default UI is the calss/spec buffs displayed on the player frame, similar to how it's already displayed on the target frame. Since we can move those frames anywhere on the screen, and a lot of people will have them somewhere in the bottom-middle area, it'd be much more convenient to see your buffs (e.g. Slice and Dice, Recuperate, Adrenaline Rush etc. for rogues) on the frame. At the moment, if you're using the default UI, you need to constantly shift your focus between different parts of the screen, while it could all be concentrated where your eyes are looking most of the time.

How so? It is about Interface, and it's in Interface and Macros forum. There is an option that allows you to "unconsolidate" these buffs, and thus show it among all the other buffs. I think it's in the "Combat" part of "Interface", when you press Esc in game. There is no way to see casting bars over non-targeted players, that would be good.These 2 can be done with Tidyplates. |
I mean like these consolidate buffs would be shown on their own box, similiar box that they are shown atm if you mouse over consolidate buffs. Them being mixed equally with non-consolidate buffs that are more important makes it harder to focus on those important buffs.Thank you for all helpful comments. |
Tidyplates also makes my nameplates look different, and I don't like it. Is there any way to keep normal nameplates with just over head casting bar and over head debuffs? |

Added idea of visible ICDs.
|
|
Added idea of improved targeting macro.
|
|
Added idea of target of target not overlapping your target's debuffs, also tried to explain improved targeting macro better.
