I need addon advice

So currently I’m running 13 addons.

GatherMate2
TipTac
Chinchilla Minimap
Kaliel’s Tracker
Bagnon
Dominos
Quartz
BigWigs Bossmods
SmexyMats(SM)
Ace3
Capping Battleground Timers
Simulationcraft
Littlewigs

Is there 1 addon I can install that does all of these and more?

What UI customization interface addon do you use, if any?

Not that I know of, others might but on a surface level their isn’t alternatives.

I personally use a mixture of Bartender and WeakAura’s to craft my UI, but I know many in my guild prefer Elvui.

UI is primarily personal preference, so try a variety of em to see what you like (you can download multiple and just disable all of them, then turn them on one by one to test them)

Hope that helps!

It does, thank you! What UI addons are there that you’re familiar with if you don’t mind me asking. I know of LUI, Elvui, WeakAura’s, etc.

Detals

Tiptac

Autionfaster

Lootfaster…

You could put the code all in one and be done. But what do I know…

Wouldent be cool?

The way we change toons on forum was the same way as to do it in game.

No. No addon will do all of that and then some as far as I know. In fact, I don’t know what most of those do, but I have my own list. I’ll just provide a screen shot.

This is my hunter’s UI. It’s the same as my priest’s, but I don’t have one of my priest’s on Imgur atm. Simple, but has what I need (boss mods, etc).

Edit: I’ll include a list.

DBM
Quartz (and Quartz Spell School for cast bar identification)
Omnibar
OmniCC
Gladius
Bagnon
Bartender4
Masque
Masque: Klix UI
World Quest Tracker
gmFonts
Easy Frames
Advanced Interface Options
Sharedmedia
Moveanything
Experiencer
KUI Nameplates
Chatter

Those are the ones with visual changes included.

Very nice and clean. I like that. Wish I could show a screen shot of mine.

The answer is realistically No.

You could grab ElvUI and you’d have some options for tooltips, minimap, bags, actionbars, and stylistic stuff like fonts, so you could maybe drop a -few- of your addons…

But you’d likely be losing some specific bit of functionality from those addons for a more generalized version. So ultimately, No, the answer is No.

(And you don’t seem like you’re looking for the total overhaul that ElvUI is to begin with, it’d be “too much” on top of the stuff you actually care about)

May I ask why you think you need to condense it to 1 addon? If there was such a thing, it would most likely use about the same amount of memory, it would just be in a single larger package.

Just wanted to condense it for purposes of organization and to have less addons running. Yeah it may run the same amount of memory, but ultimately I’d be happier with less clutter, if that makes sense.

GatherMate2 - Stand-alone addon not included in a suite
TipTac - ElvUi
Chinchilla Minimap - ElvUi
Kaliel’s Tracker - ElvUi
Bagnon - ElvUi
Dominos - ElvUi
Quartz - ElvUi
BigWigs Bossmods - Stand-alone addon not included in a suite
SmexyMats(SM) - Stand-alone addon not included in a suite
Ace3 - ElvUi
Capping Battleground Timers - ElvUi
Simulationcraft - Stand-alone addon not included in a suite

I have gone the route you have posted here, and I will say, a suite like ElvUi loads much faster, and uses fewer resources. I used to use tons more addons before I landed with ElvUi. Like from over 300 addons down to 54 (55 if you count ElvUi), and I haven’t lost any functionality. In fact, I may have gained, and my computer is much happier.

Start with ElvUI, add anything that offers functionality you must have that is missing (and a few will have an ElvUI version / skin for consistency) - you’ll end up with fewer add-ons.

So you’re saying I can get the same functionality out of ElvUi, rather than having most of the addons I have now?

I use ClassicUI for keeping the UI from being the broken yuk that is is now.

I also use:
DejaCharacterStats
Auctionator
Altoholic
MoveAnything
LiteBag

No.

ElvUI is a UI replacement for people who prefer a different art style.

Why would you want one addon to do everything?

It’s split up like that so you can add and remove the functionality you want. If one addon did it all it would be a royal mess.

I was able to get rid of 6 addons just by using elv ui. So yeah, it does have the same functionality as 6 of my addons. I can also add and remove the functionality with elvui if i prefer a different method.

tracking a bunch of different addons compared to getting used to one is easier.

Yes. Like I said, I pared down my addon list considerably.
