I know the answers of most our more regular posters already (you still have to do it), but I'm hoping there are lurkers or passersby who might take a sec to click an answer as well. RodStorm brought up the UI question again, a topic I always love to talk about. This time it made me curious about whether Grid is still the most popular or not.

I use Grid but am checking out VuhDo and it looks interesting.

Grid, gRid, grId, griD... GRID!!!!111oneonejuan

I use Vuhdo, all my healing toons are lowbies so have never used it in a raid environment. I really like it in battlegrounds on my preists.

GRID!

It took me a little while to get it set up how I like it but omg I love it. It is light, neat and colourful and it shows me all I need to know; who is pulling aggro, who is dying, feigning death or actually dead, who is afk, who is out of range, who has things I need to dispel etc All this as well as letting me easily click between players (then I use keyboard shortcuts to cast) I even have it set up to show me who has a renew and PW:S on them and who has druid hots on.

So much info in one tiny box and so easy to read even I can understand it!

Guess you don't PUG or run battlegrounds with your priest.

I don't use portraits, but one of the things about Grid that actually bugs me is that it's too compact. I need names. And big fat icons, or better yet, timers with whole words spelled out (I use DoTimer to time Weakened Soul and such). I can read fast if they're actual words, but little blue dots mean nothing to me, especially if I'm under pressure.


Edit: rate up for Moz for being the only other one who uses None of the Above. It's my poll and I can grade on a totally arbitrary scale if I want to.

You honestly, really have 25 portraits on your screen....?

Yup.

On the other hand, I've got a pretty big screen (1680X1050) and my interface is scaled down to the point where one playerframe is smaller than the original Blizzard party frames, so I do have enough room for it. I could probably heal without them, but for some reason I felt a little uncomfortable when fiddling with my new UI and turning the portraits off altogether.

That said, I have always preferred 10-man raids over 25-man raids and have never been 100% happy with the way my interface looked in 25-mans. In my defense, 25 is a pretty stupid number. At least if it were 20-mans I'd still be able to line the groups up correctly, but right now I always end up with 2X2 groups who are perfectly mirrored on either side of my screen and one group that I can't seem to fit in anywhere.

Back during the days of Naxx I even used to simply turn off group 5 and stick to the other 4 groups >.>

Really? Is that why I'm getting critical errors since the last patch? Hm.




Are you using the new Pitbull (4 I think?)? I have eight neat little rows of five and even in AV it takes up very little space and is nice and clean.

DoTimers actually worked? It hasn't worked for ages for me. Or was that Cooldownwatch? Or CooldownTimers3? Nevertheless, I very much recommend Powerauras *Nods*

GRID

I added the WS debuff and numerous others to it.

So customizable.

Grid can replace a buff shower addon if you put the effort into it.

Grid is awesome.

All bow to Grid.

I thought I would be like that but I run with my grid boxes quite big so the entire names display at all times and I find I am mostly good with those plus the class colours. It did take me a while but I am less patient with having many many add ons to do what one will do on it's own.

How is this not symmetrical?

It's a (very) old screenshot, and things have changed since then but that is still the basic setup.
