My Rogue UI & Addons Setup Explained | WoW Forever — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So, I've had quite a few people asking
2. 0:01about the add-ons I'm using on my Rogue,
3. 0:03especially some of the things you've
4. 0:05been seeing on my name plates and unit
5. 0:07frames. And I figured it was probably
6. 0:08time to put a video together going over
7. 0:10my setup. Instead of just going through
8. 0:12a list of popular add-ons, I'm going to
9. 0:14walk you through my Rogu's UI setup,
10. 0:16show you which add-ons I'm using, how
11. 0:18I've got everything configured, and talk
12. 0:20a little bit about why I like using
13. 0:22them. We'll start with the name plates
14. 0:23and uniframes since those are the things
15. 0:25most people have been asking about. And
16. 0:27toward the end, I'll go over a handful
17. 0:29of other add-ons I've been using that
18. 0:31aren't necessarily rogue specific, but
19. 0:33that I found really useful while playing
20. 0:34the game. So, with that out of the way,
21. 0:36let's get into it. All right, so first
22. 0:39up, let's talk about name plates. This
23. 0:41is probably one of the most important
24. 0:42parts of my UI, especially when I'm
25. 0:44playing rogue. The add-on I'm using here
26. 0:46is better bliss plates, and the main
27. 0:48reason I started using this is so I can
28. 0:50have the information I need while I'm
29. 0:52looking at the name plate. One of my
30. 0:54favorite things about this add-on is
31. 0:55that it puts my combo points under the
32. 0:58name plate and it also puts all the
33. 0:59debuffs I have on the target over the
34. 1:02name plate. This is especially useful
35. 1:04for rogue considering the amount of
36. 1:05crowd control abilities that we have.
37. 1:07Just being able to see the remaining
38. 1:09duration of whatever CC effect you have
39. 1:12on the enemy can be extremely helpful.
40. 1:14I'm going to show you how to set these
41. 1:16up and we're going to start from
42. 1:17scratch. So, we'll open up better bliss
43. 1:20plates.
44. 1:23I like to start with the Nage profile.
45. 1:26It has most of everything that I need.
46. 1:29And there's a couple of tweaks that I
47. 1:31make that I'll show you here.
48. 1:34So, we hit .NE profile.
49. 1:38I like to add health numbers
50. 1:42on the plates. As you can see right now,
51. 1:44they look kind of modern. If you prefer
52. 1:47classic style like in my other videos,
53. 1:49you can hit the classic name plates
54. 1:51here.
55. 1:53Other than that, in the top right here,
56. 1:55I'll type in combo.
57. 1:58Do show resource on target name plate
58. 2:02anchor resource underneath
59. 2:06and then only show filled combo points.
60. 2:10I'm going to show you what it looks like
61. 2:11on a caster because the cast bar is
62. 2:13really nice.
63. 2:19But [groaning]
64. 2:23I'm going to keep him alive just so we
65. 2:24can see a cast here.
66. 2:27[groaning]
67. 2:29There it is. Looks really nice.
68. 2:37There's how you set up name plates. Hope
69. 2:40you enjoy. Next, we'll cover my unit
70. 2:42frames, which for me is mainly a visual
71. 2:45thing. I want them to look clean. I want
72. 2:48to see health bars clearly, and I want
73. 2:50to see the target of target. My setup is
74. 2:52pretty simple, and I use the add-on
75. 2:54better blizz frames. I'll show you my
76. 2:56setup here. So, once you get the add-on
77. 2:58open, uh here's my full checkboxes. Feel
78. 3:01free to copy exactly, but I do want to
79. 3:04point out the things that were important
80. 3:06to me. Uh, and this one I did just start
81. 3:08at the forever core. There might be
82. 3:12things I change in the future, but this
83. 3:13is what's working for me now. The
84. 3:14biggest things I did select are the
85. 3:17elite texture. This is just a visual
86. 3:19thing. It adds the dragon around it,
87. 3:21which kind of gives a classic feel. And
88. 3:22then I really like the big health bars.
89. 3:25So these big health bars here, you can
90. 3:27see that my health bar is super wide. I
91. 3:30want to be able to see how much health I
92. 3:31have, and I want to see how much the
93. 3:32enemy has at a glance. Obviously the
94. 3:35enemy you're mainly looking at name
95. 3:36plate, but it's nice to be able to see
96. 3:40my big green bar in my peripheral. And
97. 3:43then class color health. So this just
98. 3:45changes the color of your target to
99. 3:48their class. So you know, blue for mage,
100. 3:51purple for warlock. It's helpful. It's
101. 3:53pretty simple. This one's kind of just
102. 3:54plugandplay. I like to have most of my
103. 3:56information on the name plate. Next,
104. 3:58we'll cover the resource display that I
105. 4:00have here right in the center of my
106. 4:01screen. Next to name plates, this is
107. 4:03probably where my eyes are the second
108. 4:05most. I like that it gives me a clear
109. 4:08view on my energy and then also some of
110. 4:11the most important cooldowns that I have
111. 4:12that I want to be using every time they
112. 4:14come up, especially the new ones like
113. 4:17shank. And then when you're out of
114. 4:19combat, it just reminds you when you
115. 4:20have poised available for your opener.
116. 4:22And then for things like sprint and
117. 4:24evasion and slice and dice, it'll show
118. 4:26the remaining up time on those
119. 4:28abilities. The add-on you'll need for
120. 4:29this is Forever Auras. And then the weak
121. 4:32aura I'm using is the Simon Forever
122. 4:35Rogue Pack. Let's get into the setup.
123. 4:38First thing you do is go to the Wag
124. 4:40website, find the weak ora, and then you
125. 4:42click copy import string. I will have a
126. 4:46link to it in the description. After the
127. 4:49import string is copied, you just go
128. 4:51back to the game, open up the Forever
129. 4:54Orus add-on. I did delete it just to
130. 4:57show you from scratch how to make it
131. 4:59work, but you just hit import.
132. 5:02Copy the string. Now you have it. Move
133. 5:05this to the side. And you can move it
134. 5:06around like this. It's a little big for
135. 5:09my liking. So I just take the group
136. 5:11scale down like this to something a
137. 5:14little smaller.
138. 5:16Don't need to worry about all these
139. 5:17buttons here. You'll never have that
140. 5:19many. It's not going to overlap with the
141. 5:21unit frame.
142. 5:23And then I typically like to have it
143. 5:25load just in combat. So we hit the in
144. 5:28combat button. Set it kind of where we
145. 5:31like it. Let's pull up the target frame.
146. 5:33Kind of put it in the middle and a
147. 5:35little bit above. And bang. I'm going to
148. 5:38show you just an example of some of the
149. 5:40things this can do. So we're not in
150. 5:43combat. It's not showing. You can enable
151. 5:44it all the time if you like. I just like
152. 5:46my UI minimal most of the time, and I've
153. 5:49been pretty lazy with it so far while
154. 5:50leveling.
155. 5:53But when we get into combat,
156. 5:56we see our energy. We can see we have
157. 5:58shank. So we use it. Maybe we pop
158. 6:01evasion. Shows us our evasion uptime.
159. 6:06We can pop slice and dice. Shows us the
160. 6:08uptime there. [snorts]
161. 6:10So it's just a nice tool. Kind of a
162. 6:13heads up display.
163. 6:15And I play on a larger monitor as well,
164. 6:16so it's just closer to my eyes.
165. 6:19That's how you set it up. The last thing
166. 6:21UI related that we'll discuss is how I
167. 6:24set up my bars.
168. 6:27I use the add-on bartender. And to set
169. 6:30it up, you'll just open up bartender.
170. 6:35And I'll show you what I have. So, I
171. 6:37start with a preset of three bars
172. 6:39stacked.
173. 6:40And then I make sure all of my bars are
174. 6:42enabled. I'll show you the setup here.
175. 6:44This is the easiest to copy, but these
176. 6:47are all the bars I have
177. 6:49enabled.
178. 6:51My padding on all of them are minus two,
179. 6:55and my scale is 0.8 for at least two,
180. 6:58three, and six. Bar 8 is just my
181. 7:01consumables bar. I'll have my potions
182. 7:03and food and such there. I'm on an ultra
183. 7:05wide,
184. 7:07so it's probably going to look weird
185. 7:09aspect ratio on on the video right now,
186. 7:11but I've moved my micro menu and bag bar
187. 7:14over here to the right, and this should
188. 7:16at least give you what you need to copy.
189. 7:19Another add-on I recommend for everyone
190. 7:21is Leotrix Plus. It allows you to change
191. 7:24interface settings very easily.
192. 7:28If you look at it here, you can do
193. 7:29things like autoate quests. This just
194. 7:31accepts and turns in automatically. This
195. 7:35is nice for when you're fighting for a
196. 7:37escort turn in or something like that.
197. 7:42You can sell your junk automatically,
198. 7:43repair automatically.
199. 7:46There's some good stuff in the system
200. 7:48like max camera zoom, faster auto loot,
201. 7:52flight times,
202. 7:54but it's a really good add-on. You can
203. 7:56look through and there's some things in
204. 7:58here that you'll use. So, I'd certainly
205. 8:00recommend it. Now, there are a few
206. 8:03add-ons I'm using that I didn't cover in
207. 8:04the video, mostly because I didn't think
208. 8:06they needed a full explanation, but I'll
209. 8:09leave those listed in the description as
210. 8:11well in case anyone's interested in
211. 8:13checking them out. And that's pretty
212. 8:15much everything I'm using on Rogue right
213. 8:17now. Hopefully, this helped some of you
214. 8:18out, especially those who have been
215. 8:20asking about my UI setup. And definitely
216. 8:22let me know in the comments what you'd
217. 8:24like to see next. I read through your
218. 8:26suggestions, and they play a big part in
219. 8:27deciding what videos I make.
220. 8:30As always, thank you guys for watching
221. 8:32and I'll catch you in the next one.
