sup.


Got a request to write this, so here you go.

The addons:

1. Gladius. New proximo, but better.

Why better? Well, one of the biggest things is that stealthed units is targetable when they pop even though you are in combat.

Also has a nice pvptrinket view, so you can see who used their PVPtrinket and their CD on it.

Also a good "aura" check - shows who of them are CCd and how long in a good way.

Also shows important suff like heroism and iceblock on the in a good fasion.

Gladius

 

Download right away, http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/gladius.aspx



2. Aloft. Nameplate enhancing addon.

Extremly good nameplate enhancement addon for 5o5 with  3 x tree pets, mirror images, hunter pets, gargoyles flying around etc targeting a gnome can be annoying.

In the standard UI you can remove the option to show mirror images and pets etc but I still find the standard nameplates a bit lackluster. They are fine for 2o2 and even 3o3 but in 5s it can become a bit annoying.

Therefore: ALOFT!

Shows the classicon next to the bar, and everything can be color coded and setup exactly as you want it. Also got threatbars if you're a pve-geek and **** like that. Very good for seeing what classes you're facing RIGHT AWAY in arena, since the nameplates appears to have longer range in arena.

See exmple below:


Aloft 1

Aloft 2


Try it out at least. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info10864-AloftBeta.html



3. Spellalerter

Awesome awesome awesome. Kollektiv the shaman made this i belive.


This **** is pro.

Spellalerter

 

Gogo dl.
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8221-SpellAlerter.html
Download it from WOWINTERFACE, more recently updated there.



4. The pro keybind of doom

Apperntly not so many people know about this, even though they tab target all the ******* time.

This makes your Tab only switch between Enemy PLAYERS, not snakes or mirror images or treelols or what ever. Much better, most of the time.


bind it right

 

 


all for now. Good luck.

is there a macro for tabbing only enemy players when you enter arena or pvp combat, and target nearest enemy when not in pvp combat or arena.

this would be very helpful because it is annoying changing key binds everytime you want to pve or pvp

about Aloft Range:
You write and show on the screenshot that you can see the healthbar immediatly at the beginning of an arena match.
Without Aloft and since client 3.0 i see the blizzard standart-healthbars immediatly too, but the Aloft ones only appear at a very short range, like about the old 15yds.

can anyone help me where to change the visibility range of aloft?
