The Ultimate Shaman UI v2.0 has arrived just as 3.3.3 is launching.
This UI is primarily for the 1920 x 1080 resolution.
A 1600 x 1024 version will be launched soon.

This UI is aimed for functionality, clean look, and a unique layout designed for shaman.
This is by no means the "Ultimate" UI as all UI's can be debated and no one player is the same.
This is merely a framework for shaman.

I've spent roughly 5 months working on this UI and its details, custom textures and sounds.
Any and all criticism is welcome.

If you have any problems with the UI or unsure of something please feel free to leave a comment or suggestion.
I've designed this UI for easy installation and very little work for the user.

Thank you to all the users who've supported my efforts and all the addon authors whose work I've incorporated into my UI.

Well you said please so here is my comment. I like your UI, very pretty, but im kinda a purest. the only add-ons i really use are skada/recount, DBM, Atlas, and titan panel. Occassionally quest helper. Its nice though.

I probably would use it but it would be such a radical change for me from blizzards UI that i have been using well over 3 years.

Not bad, nice and clean. you might need to do another screen shot in a raid setting to show those frames. Also, and this is just my opinion, the buttons need to be a little bigger. Maybe in the in lower left hand corner there's some room. Again, just my opinion.

I'm not crazy about all the art that looks like piping or something.

Honestly, it looks decent. The unit frames take up way too much room in the middle. I would prefer the action bars replacing them and having the unit frames be a little smaller and not so central. I doubt any raider looks at their unit frames that much while watching the rest of the *#%* going on. Try to keep the whole middle open. The piping doesn't seem very shamanistic, try to go with something more fitting.

kinda ugly im a shaman not a plumber ... character panes should be lower imo takes up too much space in teh middle of the screen as well as i assume your a clicker because your spell bar is horried up there all in all with a reskin and some movement its viable

The totem quests are a test of your patience and perseverance.
Because if you're going to play a shaman, you'd better have both.

I dont mind the piping, the main thing that bugged me was that the main unit frames were right below your character

At least for me, I like to see all around my character and I felt that they were too close to the character and covering up prime character viewing area and would be better suited out of the way, either at the top or on the side or something

The important thing to remember is that you really want all the needed information placed near eachother. This is why in my UI, I have my cast bar, my target cast bar, my focus, ES, WS, Bigwigs, and raid frames all near eachother while still allowing me to see my player well. Since, having those elements far apart on the screen makes it REALLY hard to track them ALL at once.

Water totem quest turns little boys and girls into shamans.

what I would do is swap the raid frames and your action bars. Also have your action bars extend out more maybe up to 12 per line. Shrink the 3d picture of you and your target or just get rid of them and move your health/mana bar left a lot and your targets health/mana bar right a lot, not hogging up the middle.

Yeah, that made me lol too. Apparently he can't see the 80 billion keybinds. I bind like... Half that. :P

As for the UI, it's pretty nice. I dislike the piping as well, I think it would look cleaner without. I also don't like the font. It's bulky and hard to read when it's small. I much prefer the default blizzard font. Also, there are better bag mods out there. Stuff that gives you categories, search engines, viewing other toon's bags, etc. Where's recount? Also, is there a target of target mana bar? And where does it show your PvP status?

I'll be adding a few more screenshots down the line, including debuffs and such. Currently with my build the profile for reflux isn't automatically putting the satrina profile.

Skada Damage meters take up a LOT less memory compared to recount as well as give a slightly more accurate timing for events.

Yea I don't like that font either, its very very wide per letter which can make long names very very cluttered. I'm revamping the look and placement of a lot of things, I really just made this UI to test how easy it was to make a UI publicly downloadable.

So my questions to the shaman society are:

1. What would you like to have in your UI that would best suite you?
2. On a scale of 1 - 10 how difficult was my UI to install / setup?
3. If I were to create spec specific profiles for a different UI setup would you find it more appealing / useful?


----------Things to Come------------

I was thinking of having an artist friend of mine make a really really nice flowing "shaman" themed framing with like idk very earthy shaman crap. Idk if I really wanna go down that road.

Anyway, thanks for all your input! Feel free to email me with suggestions at shamtasticle@gmail.com.

I'm not a big fan of how it looks at the moment however, I respect the effort. Also, my shaman has been the only toon I haven't really customized my UI for. So if you do knock this pack out of the park I'm guaranteed to get it.
