Oh My God.... OMG... omg

I installed Vuhdo and read some of the documentation while dl the LOL beta (that looks interesting, but wrong thread, forum, and game). I thought I had a decent grip on setting up Vuhdo, but holy cow, I was overwhelmed when I went to configure it myself. I spent about 30 minutes trying to configure it before a guildie asked me to join a raid and I ditched it for my old ui.

My first impression is positive, there are some absolute must-haves that I am used to with Grid that I haven't figured out with Vuhdo yet. For instance, in the Faction Champions fight, I realized I was getting silenced by dispelling Unstable Affliction. I seriously thought that the Spriest had a thing for me. o.O
In Grid, I was able to add a debuff specifically for UA and give its icon a different color so I could avoid dispelling it. Took me about 30 seconds to set it up.

I won't feel comfortable with Vuhdo until I am able to do something like that. The "Private tanks" box looks sexy, that is something I have wanted for a while now and may solve my "focus" concerns. Being able to sort boxes in a raid will come in handy when I have a mix-master rl who insists on juggling people around. (I absolutely hate it when I try to target myself and find some rogue in my spot.) Not sure that I want to rearrange people out of groups, though.

The one thing that concerns me is the author's repeated assertion that Vuhdo is not meant to be a boss mod type addon. I applaud his/her conviction to keep the addon heading in its intended goal instead of succumbing to the masses' requests, I just hope that it will be capable of being flexible enough to allow me to make changes on the fly like I am used to.


Vuhdo has an option to click-through for rt click! This alone made me excited to give it a shot.

You realize there's a "position" option that allows you to do this easily, right? =P


You'll have to explain to me how you do this. The 3 filters are "Never", "Always" and "In Combat". What I've missed ever since I got Pitbull was a big *** red exclamation mark above the target who gets grabbed on Kologarn saying "THIS PERSON GOT GRABBED, HEAL HIM YOU JACKASS!". I've spent ages scouting through the options menu but I've found nothing even close to that - there simply seems to be no way for Pitbull to show critical debuffs in an appropriate fashion. The best thing I've found is the "don't filter debuffs" option where somebody's screen goes red if he has a debuff, regardless what that debuff is. As you might realize though, this is *far* from optimal. Until 10 Minutes after Bloodlust has been cast the entire debuff part of my UI becomes completely worthless.

Yes and no. It won't 'line them up' and it is pixel coordinate nonsense. But you don't have to do math for it. If you've got party 1 in the right position and it's Y-axis is 4289.283, you just put the Y-axis of all other parts to 4289.283 as well and voila, they're on the same height as party 1.


I think you're right there. You can 'filter' stuff, it's just that the way Pitbull handles buffs pretty much sucks.

I don't need to resize my frame, I don't show any frame to start with. (just the unitframes)
It's just that when I show 40 people it pushes up my unitframes and castbars so much.

Oh, but I have that; DeadlyBossMods lets me know exactly who got grabbed. The problem is finding those 3 persons in a mass of unit frames depicting a total of 25 people.

That's why it's always exciting to hit the scramble button mid-fight, to jumble everyone around.

My priests UI

Blah blah Omen needs to be fixed. I know. The map is done though so cut me some slack.

I wasn't in combat. :)

I have FH, Renew, GH, PoH, Rez and candle buffs on hidden bars.

Button 2 is Smite/Holy Fire, 3 is SW:P/DP, 5 is PW:S.

The bottom bar is more for tracking timers. Stuff like Fiend, PI, PS, and IF. A buff button with a bunch of modifiers for spot buffs.

PoM tracker is also the best. I make way better use of PoM now.

Just tracks my PoM.
