Interface

A UI is mostly about preference. My UI is incredibly weird compared to most people I talk to, but it works well for me, so there is no reason for me to rework it.

The important thing about a good UI is to make sure that all the information you need is clear and easy to read. Make sure you can see boss cast timers, so you know when mechanics are happening. You also want to make sure that you can easily see mob casts for mythic plus dungeons so you know when to CC a specific mob. Lastly, you want to make sure that you can see your cooldowns.

The essential addons to get are:

Weakauras is an essential addon because you can track boss mechanics, your cooldowns and get alerts when a specific mob is casting something.

BigWigs, so you can track every boss cooldown, so you are never caught off guard for when mechanics happen. Make sure to customize the addons alerts and timers because they will alert you for tank mechanics by default which is not needed for a DPS player.

Plater is just a cleaner nameplate addon that I prefer to use. However, any nameplate addon will work as long as it gets the important information such as the cast bar of an enemy because this will show you your own Between the Eyes and Ghostly Strikes debuff and such.

Macros

Cold Blood & Dispatch Macro

I suggest adding this Macro to both your stealth bar and your default bar to gain the benefits of the talent without having to think about it.

#showtooltip Dispatch
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Dispatch

Tricks of the Trade Macro

This is a Tricks of the Trade Macro that will target the leader of the party. Make sure to tell whatever group you are in to “give the lead to the tank” so that this macro isn’t directing threat to the host of the party like a healer or another DPS.

#showtooltip
/cast [@party1] Tricks of the trade

Grappling Hook Macro

This is a Grappling Hook macro that makes it so you don’t have to click to confirm the travel, it takes some getting used to but it’s worth it 100%.

#showtooltip Grappling Hook
/cast [@cursor] Grappling Hook

Sap Macro

This macro gives you maybe 50 silver whenever you sap something, so you might as well use it.

#showtooltip
/cast Sap
/cast Pick Pocket

Weakauras

I’ve made my own version of the Afernars Weakaura package that I’ve modified to make it more appealing. I’d suggest either looking over on Wago.io for your own package or using some of the suggested ones below.
