@ Pike – Aw, awesome! I always wanted a draik Although I could never earn enough money to afford any really amazing paintbrushes, I was lucky enough to catch a short-lived “rainbow fountain” promotion years ago, where you could sign up to websites to get tickets and paint your pets for free. So, I managed to paint my korbat faerie for free when it was a new and rare colour, but otherwise I was a pretty poor Neopian!

To those speaking of XPFu, the addon FuXPFu provides a similar XP bar, but it is extra pretty! You can configure the colours and transparency and there is a nice “spark” that shows your progress (which can be made as shiny or unobtrusive as you like).

XPFu is pretty good. It provides a nice thin unobtrusive xp bar that runs just under Fubar, showing your xp/rest state or rep gain, and a toggle-able xp/rep counter. I find it efficient and compact.

Another add-on I use is Feed-O-Matic. It is configurable to different food types, and you feed your pet by clicking your pet’s “mood face”, and it adds a tooltip note to foods saying if your pet likes, doesn’t like or loves a certain food. Plus it provides a cute emote when you feed your pet.

I have always prefered using a HUD around my character so i don’t have to look up into the corner to see my health/mana/energy/rage/runic
Icehud is the one i’m using right now. it’s quite robust and moderately easy to configure.

I run with curved bars for my (and/or my pet) health/mana/ect on the left of my character, and target’s bars on the right. (( X )) like that. When i’m on my boomer, I have squawkandawe underneath my character so I can keep an eye on my active debuffs on the boss.

I haven’t been very active with my hunter since wotlk came out (only 73 so far), but used to use sorren’s ez shot rotations as a timer.

I do use the full auctioneer/enchantrix suite, gatherer, I have titan panel running at the top of the screen keeping track of various stats.

For the most part, I run standard unit frames and action bars tho. I have both side bars active, and both bottom bars, leaving me to switch between two for my hotkeyed bar.

@ Noah – Gosh I miss ExperienceFu, that and MoneyFu are really the only two things from FuBar that I miss.

@ Chaninn – I suppose I always figured my pets were pretty quiet! >.>

Love the UI settings!
One thing I was wondering tho… why no PetEmotes? I love PetEmotes & hearing people’s comments when my pet does something silly. It’s customizable and so easy. BBB had a good writeup on how to customize and they update the addon frequently.

Good read & i’ll keep coming back for more

I love FuBar and haven’t had any issues with things not working. It’s such a handy repository for add-on buttons and displays. I’ve got performance fu, location fu, tracker fu and xp fu plugged in there along with a clock and my Omen toggle button.
I couldn’t play without Dominos (Bartender4 would be fine too), and I use Chinchilla for modifying and moving my minimap. Gatherer is a must too for my mining Shaman.

Other than that, I pretty much use many of the same addons as you, Pike. I tried Miks combat text instead of SCT/SCTD but I’m just so used to SCT that I kept that one instead.

Makes a change to see a UI that is almost standard , know what you mean about sucking to play without certain addons though, my one was autobar. Took ages to wean myself off of it. Just a quickie for you to try, I started using Skada damage meters and so far I have managed to replace both omen and recount with it. The figures are very close to recount for damage, and identical to omen on threat, it’s got tables for healing as well (don’t often use them tho) and it’s a lot less bulky than recount and omen together.

@ Kobol – Biznick’s 247×128 Accurascope. The schematic drops in Molten Core. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18283

@ Mazil – I’ve tried to get back in Neo a time or two. It is hard after having switched over to WoW. I’m still proud of my Royal + Electric Draik. <3

@ Maevet – Times it takes a couple minutes for me: when I’m in Dalaran, or when I’m on WindowsXP. ‘nix handles it all surprisingly well. Though I can certainly understand having Lightheaded in those aforementioned situations! *nods*

@ Rilgon – I… I sorta prided myself on not using Quartz to time my Steadies, pre-WotLK. But I have been thinking lately, it would probably be a good idea for me to look into now. Thanks for the reminder. XD
