As a full time Ret with selfless healer/Word of Glory since Cata, I’ve been running Vudho for clutcheals and the like.
Recently, I got fed up of the sheer number of addons I have to run in raid, so I decided to consolidate a couple of them in to ElvUI, but I’m not too familiar with how it works. The first of my questions is this:
-Can ElvUI be setup to cast heals or cleanses when a unit frame is clicked (similar to Vudho)?
-What are Class Totems (in both Ret pally context or other spec/classes)?
-What usually goes into UIWidgetBelowMinimapContainer?
-What is Ghost Frame? (seems to be with Shadow & Light only?)
-What are the 3 MirrorTimers?
-I’m guessing Level Up Display shows when you ding, but Boss Banner?
Thanks, gonna be having more questions later for sure.
Kaldara#11970 is my BattleTag.
I’d be happy to give you a quick ElvUI 101 in game and in Discord if you want.
It’s a complex set-up (or it can be), but IMHO, totally worth it. Cuts way down on the number of UI-related add-ons and the ones you do end up with are better coordinated with one another.
I’m currently reconsidering. I was hoping the addon would kill 3 birds (nameplates, actionbars, and clickheal-raidframes) with 1 stone, but it can’t handle clickheals like VuhDo. On the other hand, if I stick with that, I have to get 2 other addons, e.g. Tidyplates for nameplates and Bartender for bars.
Anyone able to recommend an addon that can handle as much of the following as possible in one? :
-Player and target frame
-Raid/party/arena frames that can be clicked to heal/dispel
-Threat display
-Maybe a dps meter?
I’m generally trying to have to use as few addons as possible because I still need Bossmods and WA2 and Skada and RCloot and the like on top of all this.
ElvUI and Clique (which ElvUI directly supports) will do it.
Still saves a ton of other addons and you won’t find better unit frames anywhere.
I run it, Skada, my own take on Weak Auras (that thing is a pig - you wanna get rid of something, get rid of WA), DBM for UI mods. I have a few NON-UI mods, but they don’t impact what’s on my screen.
You’ll need Clique to be able to click cast. It works with any frame set.

Class Totems are primarily for tracking Guardian uptime.
After trying a few other options, looks like I’m getting clique after all.
What does ‘Raid Control’ do? Seems to be from Shadow & Light.
On a separate note, apart from fancifying your paperdoll interface, what else does S&L bring to the table?
Raid Control is the flyout for raids: readycheck, disband, world markers etc. It’s part of the default but I’m not seeing the anchor for it in the move screen right now.
Thanks alot! Is there someway I can test it without actually forming a raid? I believe VudHo had a similar function.
Bear in mind that you can form a raid with one other person by simply doing the “convert to raid” thing.
How do I display Holy Power tied to my own nameplate (not unit frame!) as opposed to target nameplate?
Heading down for a long-overdue nap. I’ll be back on in a few hours and I’ll look at this then if Elvenbane hasn’t answered it already.
So my left click is Flash of Light, but is there a way I can conditionally use the same keybind to cast OOC res on dead targets and Cleanse on diseased/poisoned targets?
Yes and no. You could bind it to a macro that changes it to res on dead targets but you cannot automatically change spells based on the presence or lack of buffs/debuffs. More details in the sticky.
Can I get a sound to play when a dispellable debuff appears, just like in decursive?
