for you bros that keep asking to help with yours. Uis are pretty personal things, no two Uis will be the same but I kinda want this to be like a starting point for you bros to get your Uis going.

Addons you better use if you're not a FeegMilkglass (its for butts)
Thats a good number off Addons I suppose, if you don't feel comfortable using all those at the same time or don't think you need to uses some of them thats fine. Start slow, Changing your entire UI in a day can take some getting used to so if you just want to ease yourself in then by all means be a babbie.
HOW I MINE FOR ADDON?!?!
Here I'll tell you how I set up my various Addons just as kind of a reference, If you don't like the way I Set my stuff you can change it to your liking or send a complaint to mirren. I'll also put picture I guess.
Bagnon: just Set it and forget it. It also lets you see whats in the bags of all your characters just by selecting the little portrait of yourself in the corner and switching to another toon.
Button Facade: Add a border to your buttons. Make it so you do have a border. Do what ever you feel is right with your bars. No real set up need, just find the button facade menu in your addons panel and choose which on you want
ClassTimer: I love classtimer, not only does it show any buff or debuff you want on your target, it also does the same for you, your pet, and your focus! I set mine to be just above my bars, and make them stack up in stead of down. To add buffs or debuffs to tracking just go into timers-->extra--> then add the spell you want.
Clique: lets you easily bind stuff to keys or key combos or mouse buttons or key and mouse button combos. The possibilities are endless! Setting your binds is straight forward and clique even has a little tutorial.
Docsdebugrunes: awesome for Dks compact addon that tell you all you need to know bout DK stuff like rune cooldowns duration of the infusion buff on your ghoul, size of the next blood shield if you choose to deathstrike after a hit. Its awesome
Dominos: I love dominos, perhaps my favorite addon, you can do pretty much anything you can think of with your bars and its easy to use.
Here is my set up You might not like they way I have my bars set but this is just an example.
Action Bar 1
Size: 12
Column: 6
Spacing: 13
Padding: 3
Scale: 122
Action Bar 2
Same as above
Action Bar 3
Size: 6
Columns: 6
Spacing: 30
Padding: 1
Scale: 77
Action Bar 4
Same as 3
Bar: 5
Size: 12
Columns: 12
Spacing:4
Padding: 2
Scale:86
Bars 6-10 are unused for but you can do with them what you will
These are numbers are scaled to my monitor so they might be a little different then what you desire but you can fiddle with them till they are right.
Elkanos Buff Bars: My preferred replacement for the blizzard buff icon. Pretty straightforward set up. Just drag it yo where ever you desire, you can add or remove buffs that you want to track through the options menu
Grid: Grid is awesome, I use it as a party/raid frames replacement but its also invaluable for telling who has aggro, who's dying, Who's dead, incoming heals, who has what debuff and a bunch of other junk. Setting up grid is an adventure in and of itself but thats more for healers and I assume they already know what to do. The base version of Grid works just fine as a party/raidframe. Set up can be a bit daunting just because of the sheer number of menus and sub menus but its pretty simple to set up once you get past them.
Omen3: Aggro meter. Useful for tanks and DPS who don't want to pull aggro and die like chumps (Revash). Pretty much set and forget unless you want to tweak the visuals. I personally have it set to transparent along with recount.
Recount: Dps meter to show how bad you are, why are you so bad, do 2k more dps.
SexyMap: Map mod lets you put all kinds of pretty borders and shit around your map. Also allows you to move it away from the top corner postion. I use the simple square preset because I don't like a lot of bullshit around my map. Maps are serious goddamn business and anyone who tells you otherwise is a communist sympathizer
SLData Text: This is a replacement for the regular menu bar, the one that shows your latency and all that other junk you hardly ever look at. To get to the config for this you have to type /sldt.
Tidy Plates and Tidy Plates: Threat Plates: the semicoloning pt 2 race to shoe mountain: Name plate mod that rules. They aren't as useless as the blizzard ones. They show who has aggro on what how much aggro, cast bars and other life saving tips.
ToolTip on mouse: it puts the tool tips on your cursor.
Deadly boss mods: Derp
Xperl: A UnitFrame mod that lets you change and move all the unit frames ever. I have mine set to not show party or raid frames because I use Grid for that. To navigate to the config menu just type /xperl and away you go.
Once you set up all your addons and stuff you might have a cool UI like this or a horrible abomination, Who knows?
If I missed something let me know, or if you need help or something.

Even though he really only exists so i could have a toon on your server so i could job the guild. I've played my holy pally exclusively since legion dropped.
Though i think I'm finally at a point where she doesn't have so much to do that i can at least do the artifact getting and such on my lock this weekend.
you can track both at the same time, the map actually lets you track everything now at once
Something's not quite right...!
legion is not alt friendly
Flesh and bone to hearth and groan.
Along with the jorts that undead wear does that make my character a juggalo?
What are your thoughts on Faygo?
It's the cool chestpiece that makes avenging shield lower the cooldown of Guardian of Ancient kings.
Today was a good day.
Nice!
They are doing some real weird, cool shit across several different and it is a lot of fun
My only complaints are the Beast Mastery is kinda not super fun to play right now, but I'm too deep into Titanstrike to just swap, and the hard cap of 5 Champions is too low
One thing to note is that artifact knowledge is shared across all your artifacts. Which means you can start to bank a few tokens here or there, swap weapons and boost your way to rank 10-15 with relatively ease in about a week.
Which will still make you behind titanstrike, but not abysmally behind overall.
actually tokens are generated with a flat amount of artifact power based on your artifact knowledge when you get them
How's Survival? Melee Huntering feels...wrong but I am intrigued.
Also I bring heroism/combat res and Hati is a lightning wreathed shoveltusk
New Stampede is more effective but all of my murder animal babies coming to help me was the best
When you hit rank 13 on your arti the cost for the next rank goes WAY up. Like, 6800 for the next one. Also, suramar gives you a ridiculous amount of artifact power. So it's definitely not too late to switch.
The little bit I played of survival while leveling my below-100 hunter was pretty neat but I bet that the rotation will be very frustrating in raids.
I'll still do it at some point, grind that shit out.
Yeah, but, at like 90% artifact knowledge the tokens im getting from say, first daily are like 800. Bank a few of those + other things and its easy 10 levels right away.
right but i'm saying there's no point in banking it vs just using it on your offspec artifact right away :P
The difference between a level 13 weapon and a level 16 is pretty small unless it involves a "golden dragon" trait. Most builds get their first powerful trait though with the first 13 at which point it is a long, slow burn to the next sizable increase in power.
Thr second dragon isnt as good however but still nice to have of couse
Its mostly so I can gank people
I hope I can try the raid by the beginning of next month.
Switching specs every time is super inconvenient though! So much easier to just bank a bunch on go on a spree.
Just to add some more numbers in here for you blank.
To go from 1-13 is 6500 artifact power. If you're a third into the 8830 rank (14-15) then after your next 6500 artifact power you'd basically have either
A. 13 in your new artifact
or
B. 15 in your titanstrike.
For titanstrike the second golden dragon is at 18.
For marks the first gold dragon is at 9? I think. The second is then at 16.
For survival its at 11and then 16
In fact, because levels 17 and 18 take 14,400 and 18,620 artifact power. If you switched now, you'd hit 2 golden dragons on your new artifact before you hit 2 on titanstrike.
Basically TLDR; dont feel bad about switching. if you want to switch, switch. You're not gonna be far behind. Seriously.
This rumors quest is the worst thing I've had to do in a while. The withered quest is less frustrating.
Nothing but elites everywhere, and everyone has detection. Soloing this is impossible. I can't even get close enough to see my objective.
Either they need to make it easier, or it needs to be labeled as a group quest.
It's kinda weird that it isnt labelled a group quest, given that literally every WQ in that same area is.
personally i just went "well they gave me a 110 follower and you're still 105, so, bye"
