There is no single part of elvui that cannot be achieved through combinations of other add-ons/Weakauras. If you’re willing to set up what you need without Elvui you’re more than fine though. It’s incredibly convenient if you ever have to set up your UI from scratch for whatever reason. The main benefit is that it contains the majority of UI add-ons that everyone uses in one place. I can’t really make up my mind on it, but I still use it and only it currently so idk, haha. There are just enough really nice features to elvui that keep me coming back to it. That typically means moving, adding and removing certain UI elements. The default interface has been modified to allow us to move more, and there are thousands of addons out there, so you can probably find an addon to duplicate anything ElvUI does without having to use the entire ElvUI to do it if you aren’t going to be using many of the modifications of ElvUI.Īll that’s really “necessary” is that you have easy visibility of the information you need. It’s also popular for it’s visual modifications giving the UI a cohesive, more modern look, but, of course, that’s simply preference.Īlmost everything that ElvUI does can be done other ways. ElvUI is popular because of how well you can move everything to where it works best for you. Then, it’s important to get the rest of the information away from that area so that it is FAR easier to notice when something important is happening, or about to happen. Especially when it is stressful, it is important to have the critical information close to where your eyes are going to be most of the time. There’s a lot of them that aren’t that helpful, but there are a few that explain good reasons to move large portions of the UI.Ī lot of it comes down to your field of vision. Look at some youtube videos on how to set up a healer UI. So, stupid forum rules, I can’t post links.
