I am an 80 prot warrior and I am getting into raids more and more in my free time- ie. Naxx 25 and Ulduar 10 mainly. I am still using WoW's preset UI and am finding my screen is too full and I am just having a hard time getting things done. I am looking for a clean UI that has addons like-
1.Threat meter,
2.health and rage bar in an easy to see place
3.scrolling combat text
4.a cleaner buff set up in a more out of the way place
5.action bars configured into- main threat, survival, getting threat back, aoe moves, and so on
6. A better mini map
7. different and smaller chat box
8. perhaps a list of all the the people in raid and different colors for gaining threat
9. something that warns raid when i pop cd's so healers dont pop theirs
10. more streamlined player frames
11. addon that makes bottom of screen black

I know this is a picky list, I apologize, just looking for something that works. Something that is clean and has most of the addons on the bottom or the middle.Im hoping that someone has a UI that is near to this so I can just download their setup, but a list of addons would be most appreciated as well.

I appreciate the time and help from the players on Tankspot

May I give you a good advice? Don't just download a complete UI. Create your own.
As each of us is different, so is our playstyle and therefore our requirements for an UI.
Watch other's UIs for some suggestions, but in the end it should all come down to your personal UI.

To create your UI with the functions of your list above, I'd suggest these addons:
1: Omen3
2: Pitbull4
3: MSBT
4: SatrinaBuffFrames
5: Bartender4
6: SexyMap
7: Chatter (though you can customize it with no addon also)
8: Grid
9: Bind your Cooldown to a macro (ex. "Shieldwall for 12s")
10: Pitbull4
11: CBHviewport

And -- one more: Don't add them all at once to your Interface. Set up one, maybe two. Log out, activate the next one and so on... some require loads of time to set up in a good way. Pitbull for example (I spent hours till I understood the f*cking principle the addon is based on)

Good Luck

I would post this as sticky topic with universal 2 hints for creating tanking ui... Whoever want instant UI made by someone else is not gonna make it work for him 100% of time

I wasn't saying that it was going to work perfect for me, it would be a template for me to tweak. I already have a general idea that I want, was just hoping someone who is good at configuring addons might have done all the main stuff, and I could play around with it.

Hi joep180,

I have not had a chance to try this out myself as I have just discovered it, but take a look at this page...

Boda's Black Box UI (1920x1080) : WoWInterface Downloads : Graphical Compilations

It appears to meet every requirement that you have for a UI. I'm excited to try it out this weekend. : )


Cheers,

Hi

I would agree with the above post with regards to Boda's UI, I use it with my warrior tank/dps, mage, hunter, pala healer, shaman. So you can see it is very versitile, but it is originally a tanking UI.
