Gaze through the Stabilized Effort Scope...

You asked for it, time and time again! Well, here it is: The Stabilized Effort Scope "This is my UI, this is how it works" post!



This is it in full combat mode! Let's start by identifying easy mods to notice:

HUD: Phaytal's DHUD (I like it for its customizability)
Buff bars and the Serpent Sting tracker: Elkano's Buff Bars
Battle text: Mik's Scrolling Battle Text
Shot timer/Cast bar: Quartz
Threat Meter: Omen
Chat frame: Prat 3.0
Bars: Bartender4
Unit frames: ag_UnitFrames
Damage Meter: Recount
Map mods: Squeenix, Cartographer, dMiniCoords

Now, aside from all those, the biggest thing that people seem to love is the orange trim that I have on things. That would be eePanels. It's an out-of-date and non-supported addon, but it still works. There's a spiritual successor, supposedly, but there's no easy way to import my designs to it, and I'd rather not spend a couple of hours re-designing the trim.

I do use other mods - Deadly Boss Mods, Baud Bag for my inventory, RatingBuster so I can do math on the fly... But aside from that, that's most of the SES UI.

Any questions? Feel free to leave a comment.

Here's a dumb question - how big a monitor do you use? I've been using a 12" laptop since I started playing 8 mos ago. I just upgraded to a faster processer w/ a graphics card & a 24" monitor (got it yesterday, still haven't even plugged it in). The monitor just seems so HUGE. I'm afraid I'll fry my eyes/brains staring at that thing for 3 hours. I'm thinking about returning it for the 20". Do you think there is "too big" for monitors? I primarily use my computer for WoW.

I use dual 24" CRTs at 1600x1200 (and WoW is at 1280x1024 windowed).

Mik's Scrolling Battle Text is the shit. That is all.

Hi Rilgon! I read your postings on BRK all the time.

Love the UI, its great!

I am a BM hunter but am thinking about MM after the patch drops.

Do you find that the 7/57/7 is good for soloing/non-raiding?

Or do you recommend another for that?

Thanks for all the great posts, and who knows you may have converted a lifer in BM to MM...
