| [PvE] Blizzard Raid UI Okay, i'm just going to get the QQ out of the way up front. "Hey blizz, how do you overlook the most basic functions of your own raid UI???"
okay, I'm done. Now here are some issues I have with the raid UI and I wonder what you guys have seen (and hopefully worked around).
1. Raid frame does not show raid markers. (I had to download an addon specifically for this purpose)
2. If you elect to show "Main Tank" and "Main Assist", then you will also see their target, and their target's target. I can't find where to turn these extra frames off... If the answer is another addon, I'm just going to start trying other raid frames entirely.
3. I finished an LFR... dropped raid... reformed a group with guildies to start a new raid... and now my blizz raid frame has 14 people in it.. from the raid I just left. ugh. I had to "/reload ui".
4. During the next LFR... I started noticing that my heals on player X were not firing. uh-oh... I tried to build my LB stack on the "Main Assist" raid frame... and noticed the stacks building on the "Main Tank" raid frame... huh? Rejuv won't fire on me when I'm moused over my raid frame 8/10 times... but if I mouse over my "Player" frame... it fires 10/10. /sigh. I reloaded my UI between each boss fight. No dice. So that's just great... I can't trust the blizz raid UI for healing. peachy.
So, I'll try downloading the x64 client to see if that version works better??? Otherwise, I'm in the market for a new raid frame. I know what Shadowed offers... I guess the next on my list (unless blizz starts working well) is Pitbull (Ada's recommendation). -- Immergruen (resto/kitty) on Nathrezim Server (US) Guild leader for Pride and Ego "You never truly know someone... until you fight them"

| reply to Immer the only time i have ui issues is when i try any kind of boss mod, dbm or the like it messes with my ui, dont know why but it does so i dont use them.
i use blizzards frames for everything, and with them being movable i like it much more now. -- Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau! I've lost the bleeps, I've lost the creeps and I've lost the sweeps. |

For player frames (player, target, target's target, focus, focus' target) I use Pitbull. that's right. I'm fed up with grid. I don't want to juggle 15 addons... just for a useful raid frame. |

| reply to Immer Really don't think five plug-ins count as 15 additional add-ons. You don't have to use Pitbull or anything else for player frames, Grid will display everything except who is targeting who (with the exception of incoming heals) baseline.

| I like it... for the most part. I don't like using it as a raid frame because the buffs/debuffs have to be either above or below each frame. cannot make it on top of the frame... this creates too much space between frames for my liking.
I'm trying to dump addons... but this just isn't working for me. I hate the way grid looks stock. I hate that I have to add a new pluggin for each bit of information I want (icons rather than dots, dungeon role, raid mark). I may end up getting forced back into it... but I'm shopping around now. -- Immergruen (resto/kitty) on Nathrezim Server (US) Guild leader for Pride and Ego "You never truly know someone... until you fight them"

 TreebarkPremium join:2010-03-04 Havelock, NC kudos:1 | reply to Immer Vuhdo and SUF for player/target/focus ect ect ect. Not a better set up.
Vuhdo takes a little time to set up but after you do it once, it is easy as pie from then on out. Everyone likes pie? |

| reply to Immer I've had targeting issues with the Blizzard raid frames. I immediately installed the raid marker & corner text indicator mods for it, so I can't be sure it's a blizzard thing and not a 3rd party thing.
Grid is fantastic, even with the addons. Anyone used the Grid2 fork? -- flickr | Of faith, power and glory |

 SongbyrdPremium join:2009-09-29 united state | I tried out Grid2 previously. It caused major issues in AV so I went back to Grid. That was a while ago though, issue may have been fixed.
I did like it until my screen stuttered like mad. |
