Bishie's UI

Lately I've been having a lot of trouble with the UI for WoW.  There isn't really many options to mess with when it comes to the UI.  You make it bigger, make it smaller, add some action bars, and you've done all you can.

So I've been looking for ways to change my UI.  Only all the frames I find make everything so cluttered....  It's not even funny.  So after a few days of testing a few things to find out what works...  I found a pretty good formula.

I use Dominoes for the actionbars.

I use the standard wow interface for player and unit frames.

And I use Bagnon for an easy all in one bag interface.

The result is a cleaner interface, and easier access to the buttons for spells and abilities.

Warsong Gulch: What you can do to suck less!

This is post number two for Bishie's Adventure Log.  This time boys and girls, we're going to talk about my favorite battle ground.  Warsong Gulch, and what you can do to suck less when you're playing!

First and foremost.  It is important that you always try to stick with the group.  The more people you have with you, the better chance you have at staying alive.  A healer or two is not needed, but is highly recommended.

Are you playing with a Pick Up Group (PUG)?  Then there are a few things you should know.

If they're farming mid field, then that gives you plenty of distraction to get the flag.  If you can manage to get the flag to where everyone is fighting...  The people fighting mid field turn into your back up!

Don't let them get to you!  If you can't get the flag, or are getting overwhelmed on defense because everyone is too busy farming kills mid field, then just find a way to have fun while you lose!  Go join the kill farming, or just have fun talking trash.  A quick loss is better than a painfully slow one.

When the game starts, try to remind everyone of basic objectives....  Say things like:

• Who's going to stay on D?
• Remember to protect the flag carriers!
• Zerg the base!
• Stick together!
• Stay in a group!

These are really obvious things....  You'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes though.  I've practiced saying it in every WSG I joined.  We won more when I said it, as opposed to when I said nothing.

Last but not least....  Prioritize your targets!  This goes for healers and DPS fools alike!
If you see a flag carrier...  Attack the flag carrier.  DO NOT chase down a rogue that's half way dead, just to get the kill.  You get more honor from a flag cap than you do from one kill.
If you see a healer healing the flag carrier...  Then kill the healer!  Then kill the flag carrier!
It's not hard really.....
Oh!  And before I forget....  Slow the flag carrier down!  At all costs!  The slower he goes, the more people can catch up to him.  The more people that catch up to him, the better chance you have of killing him.  So!  Slow them down by any means necessary.  Use snaring spells as opposed to high damage ones.  THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL!!!  SLOW THEM DOWN!!!

And for you healers......  If you see the flag carrier...  Heal him!

That's all I can think of for now...
I leave you with this:

Let's get this started with a rant about Healers and Tanks!

So I was starting a group for Razor Fang Kraul the other day.  We had me (a druid), a priest, a warrior, a paladin, and a hunter in the group.  Guess what?  The priest and the warrior refused to tank and heal respectively.  It's like....  Why would you even make a priest if you're not going to heal in groups?  If I wanted spell DPS, I would get a warlock, or a mage...

The warrior is even worse!  It's the only class that is 100% tanking.  You're a warrior, and you don't want to tank in our group?  Really?!  If I wanted melee DPS I would invite a rogue, or a paladin.  Acutally....  I can do without melee DPS altogether at such a low level.  All rogues, paladins, and warriors do is pull aggro with no regard for anyone else.

"Oh?  You were tanking that?  I don't really care.  I pretty much do what I want."

Actually, I had someone say that they can solo one guy.  So it was ok if they got aggro.  To which I replied; Yeah, go ahead and pull five, and see if I try to save you.  (Obviously I was the tank in this situation.)

I just don't see the point.  You wanna play a shadow priest?  Cool.  Go solo somewhere by yourself.  Or go make a friggin mage.

You wanna be a DPS warrior huh?  What's that?  You DPS by doing a Challenging Shout, followed by a Retaliation?  How about you go start a friggin rogue, and do better DPS without pissing anyone off....

Or better yet!  Both of you go make fucking hunters and listen to no one ever again!  That would help everyone out!
