Interface
A player’s UI is entirely subjective. At the end of the day, there is no specific right or wrong way to set up your UI. Some suggestions for good addons are:
- Unhalted Unit Frames - Blizzard’s player and target frames specifically aren’t the best for visual clarity at a glance. This addon gives increased customisation to all of your frames.
- Platynator/Plater - I’d advise one of these addons specifically if you want some extra customisation options including being able to colour your nameplates. It can add some clarity to quickly identifying caster mobs in raid and M+.
- Sensei Class Resource Bar - One glaring omission from Blizzard’s base UI is a separate and customisable resource bar. As it stands, the only one available are attached to the player frame. This addon offers a separate resource bar, allowing for more focused placement to track resources better.
Macros
Focus/Mouseover Kick
/cast [nomod, target=target] Pummel
/cast [mod:shift, target=focus] Pummel
/cast [mod:ctrl, target=mouseover] Pummel
This macro condenses regular target kick, mouseover kick and focus target kick into a single keybinding, allowing different target interrupts based on modifier being pressed. Focus kicking in general is exceptionally useful in all content.
Leap Cursor Macro
Heroic Leap macro that saves you a few milliseconds not having to click an additional mouse click when pressed.
#showtooltip Heroic Leap
/cast [@cursor] Heroic Leap
Mouseover Execute
#showtooltip Execute
/cast [@mouseover, harm, exists][@target] Execute
This macro is used for Executing an enemy that is not your target. This is good for activating the Executioner's Wrath talent and getting extra Rampage damage without needing to tediously switch target back and forth from a priority target to do so.
Mouseover Bloodthirst
#showtooltip Bloodthirst
/cast [@mouseover, harm, exists][@target] Bloodthirst
Similar to the Execute mouseover macro above, this allows you to Bloodthirst another enemy. You would use this in a moment where Enrage may be about to fall off and you don’t have enough Rage for Rampage. This would give you Enrage from the Fresh Meat talent. Additionally, you can net a little bit of extra damage by using Bloodthirst on an enemy below 35% health if you have Vicious Contempt talented.
Mouseover abilities work exactly as the name suggests. Place the cursor over the enemy model or nameplate and press the ability for it to work.
