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.

This is mostly just because it occurred to me that I really should do that at some point
If you didnt get an invite it's either because I dont like you, or for some reason we dont have any mutual friends, or your btag is really weird and I couldnt tell who you are. (Like for real who the hell is this nicoruu guy? 5 mutual friends and I have no idea who this is.)
But on that note, how do transmogs work in WoW? Like do I need to grab them on the server I intend to play on and such, since I'm still trying to figure out where I'm playing and such since I know people on like three different servers.
The items themselves are bnet account bound. You should in theory be able to mail them to any of your characters (On any server), transmog your current weapons to the skin, then mail it to a different character, until you're satisfied.
Also in 3 months everything that is soulbound and equippable will be added to your collection, which is account-wide
And then for the first time in over 10 years I'll actually have vault space
Quest reward transmogs are retroactive as well, meaning if you ever got a quest reward you thought look cool but eventually vendored it, the look will be available when the system goes live. Even the quest rewards you didn't choose will be available.
I'll probably re-up my account maybe today after work or something though.
How do I make cool stuff help
When you enter draenor (level 90) you can either purchase or otherwise acquire Draenor master ______ where the blank is your professions. (So you can buy for 100g draenor master jewelcrafter training). Stormshield or Warspear (Alliance or horde) is where youll find the trainers that sell them. I believe you should acquire the items sometime around Bladespire if you're horde and dont feel like purchasing them early.
This extends the professions maximum level to 700, and teaches you several recipes. All of these recipes have no profession level requirement, even a level 1 blacksmith can create Truesteel Ingots. The smelting in this case is actually done by the blacksmith profession, rather than the mining one.
wtb moose run (how much do you think they cost?)
I think the lowest ive seen them is 20k for what is basically H archi (and only H archi) on personal loot.
Super helpful, they explain over voice chat but I'm forgetful of details so this is awesome for me to reference. Thank youuuu
it was pretty brutal at the start too, maybe more brutal now though
oy vay
Whats funny is that they finally did get around to improving the shipyard quite a bit.
You newcomers will never know the suffering that is failing a 98% mission and watching both your epic ships die, only to get green ones when you rebuild them.
and even then the shipyard is still pretty damn terrible.
I'm in Panda Land now
mooooovin' on up
(I finally got artisan riding but I can't afford expert riding yet. Almost there gold wise but I want to have like, a buffer, so I've gotta wait)
The goal is to be 90 by tomorrow night, my weekend is a write off so I think I'm gonna have to sub to hit 100 and that means we're fuckin INNIT now thomas
Have they previewed what the new collections interface would look like? By the sound of it, we're looking at 80 bajillion pages of items to sift through.
Yeah it's active in the beta.
You can only look at possible transmogs for your character, and the same transmog rules still apply (leather can only transmog leather etc) and the interface is broken up by item slot, but it's still 20 or so pages per item slot. It's not that bad, though.
One of the best parts is that if you mouse-over an appearance, it tells you where you can obtain the item or items with that appearance (boss drop, world drop, quest, etc)
that's exactly what it is
No, they're still being dumb and stingy about transmogging legendaries
Most of the mythic HFC stuff is green.
Maybe not lime green. But green.
Adus has been trying to get his hands on this thing
http://www.wowhead.com/item=124385/blazing-demonhilt-sword&bonus=567
But we all keep out-prioritizing him.
At some point he just needs to lie and say it's totally for his mainspec.
I got really lucky one day and saw someone forming a group in raid finder. Good luck to you.
Booo that's pretty lame, just let people play dress up
Nobody cares that somebody made their plate look like a dress
There's pvp implications to being able to make yourself look like another class.
Back in DAoC I dressed my ice wizard (with high damage point blank area attacks) up like a friar (a lower priority target) and it would give me an edge in fights as I could actually get close enough to set off the aoe bomb.
A warrior appearing to be in cloth with a staff but getting the full benefit of their plate might be able to draw attention away from real priests and that's not really fair.
Please stop throwing up road blocks on my path to dressing like a pretty princess hunter
