Pretty much as the title suggests. I am trying to see if there anything I could use that I am currnently not using. Myself I use the following which makes my Druid PvP and PVE much better:

Hideshiftbar
Cosmos Alpha (get the job done with the extra bars and what not, I know I can get better, been looking at flexbar+gypsy mod)
Druid Mana Bar (shows me my mana while I am shapeshifted)
BestBuff (Checks the level of the person I am casting on if they are too low it will cast the appropriate buff/heal)
Wardrobe (with two macro buttons I can switch out feral/caster gear)


I know there are more I could use for sure. But right now, these definately get the job done, especially the Mana Bar while I am shapeshifted helps alot.

I used to use Cosmos but recently changed to CT Mod, there's a few things from Cosmos that I missed that I had to seperately download but not many and CT has a Raid program that my guild uses and is valuable.

I'm also playing around with BeneCaster to halp preserve mana and be able to cast lower heals.

I previously used Cosmos, but gave it up when they added Sky. I can't stand how buggy Sky is and how much it mangles chat channels.

I currently use a bunch of little addons I've picked up that do a lot of the same stuff, plus a few I coded myself when I couldn't find anything already out for them.

Where do I find these that work? some of the ones listed by the thread poster look great, I'd love to try them. I also am tired of sky and only keep cosmos as I'm so used to playing with the pop up bar. I would love to find the UI I see often in screenshots that changes all the bars around and cleans up the screen so much. The one that has the bars on the right showing time left on things and such? can anyone help there?

Flexbar will work wonders. It cleans up your Interface so much. With Flexbar you can resize the squares that make up the actionbar and then group the actionbars and move then to any place on screen. It takes a while (i've heard anywhere from an hour to 2 depending on what all you want to do with Flexbar) though to get everything set up. But once you do, people say it is very nice.

You can find alot of these UI/Mods at www.curse-gaming.com. Check under the addons section.

I sometimes think I spend more time messing with my UI than actually playing.

Bibmod- Moveable bars, bags, resizeable everything. A must have.

AutoShoutOut- Tells you when you are low on mana and or health. Configurable. Especially helpful for people like me who never look at their own health.

Telo's Infobar- Another must have. Displays various information in a small thin bar at the top of the screen. Most notable being time, bag status, FPS, amt of money you have, etc.

Telo's Bufftimers- Simple bufftimers. I like em better than Blizzards.

Telo's Itembuff- This is stictly for OOC. Lets you know how much longer the buff lasts.

Mapnotes and mapnotes target- allows you to make notes on your in game map.

Quest-I-on- On screen quest objectives. Completely configurable.

Telo's Selfcast- Another must have. Targets self for beneficial spells if you have an enemy targeted. Prevents you from having to select yourself, cast, then back to the target.

WowEcon- Adds auctionhouse prices from a database to your tooltip.

EquipCompare- When you are in the auction house looking at items, a window pops up comparing with your current item. This mod does that outside of the auction house.

Reagent Data- Adds reagent data to tooltip.

Minigroup- Smaller cleaner looking party window. Great for when you are the healer in the group.

Visible Flight Map. Gives you all connections on your current continent when you visit the flightmaster.

I use Insomniax UI Compilation which is basically CTMod with several extras.

Has everything I need and probably some stuff I don't. I've recently heard of a couple addons I would like to run in conjunction with Insomniax but i've been too lazy to DL them.

CTMod, Raidassist and Benecast.

I just started using Benecast last night and so far I like it, I think. The only issue I'm seeing with it, and it may be enough that I not use it... need to play with it a bit more... is using the spell icons near the party icons to cast seems to draw all my attention up there and during a raid I'm not seeing the chat as much as I should. I increased the resolution a bit last night and I'm going to see about rearranging the entire layout of the UI. Heh, yeah, I just barely down loaded it last night and I'm picky about where things are..:D

agreed, the all in one inventory is the only thing I'm probably going to add on.

The only thing I need cosmos for these days is alt-selfcast. If blizz added that I could be cosmos-free! I do find the dps calculator fun tho :)

I just downloaded PvPLog addon. Haven't got to test it out much yet, but soon I will. It keeps track of who you kill, who kills you, your record vs people, and can echo on guild/party chat whenever you kill/die in pvp. Pretty cool mod esp w/o an honour syste yet!

SelfCast is actually built into WoW; however, it's bugged and doesn't work with the - or = keys. There's also a standalone SelfCast from Telo that you can use without needing Cosmos.

I figured there would be stuff around that allowed for it without the now HUGE cosmos patches (I'm convinced they slow my game down with all that crap so I disable a lot of it).

Where do I set it up in WoW (without any UI), and can I set it for the alt key?

Erm, i use DreamMod, which is a compilation of mods I've tweaked and a few i've written (simply because i couldn't get other people's to work outside of their mods :D)

And to think it all started in beta with me coding a second bar for myself

Another vote for Insomniax. If you have not given it a try, I highly recommend it.

Finally revamped my UI setup. I made a lot of changes, and got rid of Cosmos (thank god, it was giving me random errors.). Only thing that sucks if the new patch today might make all the work I did lastnight moot haha.

New UI/Mod Setup:

Moveanything! (this thing is friggin AWESOME! OMG! Using this with Blizzard's extra action/side bars rocks.)
GypsyUnitmod
AvgExp
DruidBar
HideShiftBar
KoS
Telo's Selfcast
Telo's Clock
Scrolling Combat Text
All-In-One Inventory
SellValue
Wardrobe
Lootlink

*edit: Forgot some hehe

I have to say MoveAnything! was the best switch I have ever made so far. You can resize anything with it, move it anywhere, and you don't need to worry about setting up a change on action like flexbar does for shapeshifting or Stealth. I cleaned up my on screen with this and everything is so much nicer, and I didn't have to use a UI package which makes it worthwhile. GypsyUnitMod was so that I could get an better exp bar since I had to hide the old one for MoveAnyThing. I'll try to get a screen shot of my new UI setup later on when I am able to get to my PC (at work right now).

I tried to use the druidbar but it didn't work, maybe I'll give it another try - would be hella nice to know my mana levels while in forms, instead of guessing! And if you got it to work then I must have just screwed up the install or something.

The new druidbar also plays a sound when swiftshifting is successful, nice little audible feedback to better help you get your timing down.
