ElvUI: a Comprehensive Guide

Recommended Posts

Trying to change my default max camera distance.  It sets it to max when I log in, but I prefer it to be set to 50%.  How do I keep it from reverting back to max and needing to change it everytime I log in?

How did you get the black panel at the bottom, where you placed your chats, action bars and so on?

Black panel is an addon kgPanels and yes, it covers a part of your screen. I don't use it anymore and changed my UI heavily in Legion (still use ElvUI though).

I think you should sort your camera distance options in WoW Interface options rather than in ElvUI.

how can I have the picture of the character and his target?

This should be in the Unit Frames section. There should be an option to enable "portraits"

Panda and Krazy,

Thanks so much for this guide! I scanned the posts, but didn't see my issue come up yet - I'm a healer and used the keybind feature for my heals, but, with clique, I could mouseover the raid frames. Seems I can't do that with elvui. I've disabled clique - would vuhdo be my answer?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

you definitely can use Clique with ElvUI raid frames - if you have a problem here, it's not something addon restricted.

But I personally use VuhDo frames as my raid frames (I'm a healer) - I find it much more healer friendly, comfortable and with this mouseover+Clique function build-in.

The DoTs part on a Target frame should be turned on by default so it's a bit weird for me that you can't see them. But in this case: UnitFrames-> Target Frame-> dropdown menu in the right side window->Debuffs. Scroll a bit down and you can config there what exactly you want to see: your DoTs only or all the debuffs on target, etc. Check Debuffs section in NamePlates->Enemy NPC Frames too.

Regarding color change, I know what you are talking about - it's a TidyPlates feature. There's no same thing in ElvUI but you can try to play with options in two places: NamePlates->Enemy NPC Frames / Enemy Player Frames and in UnitFrames->right side window-> Threat Display Mode dropdown menu.

Hi - Does anyone know what this (circled) frame is called, and how I get rid of it? I thought it was from another addon, but I've removed everything but ElvUI and ElvUi Config in my Addons list. There's nothing in that location when I toggle anchors. It's driving me nuts! Any help appreciated.

It's not an addon but a new part of improved Blizzard interface (added in Legion) :)

Hello

Great guide! However I have a problem, or rather two problems.

One of them might not be elvui related.

First, the most important one, is there a way to change how elvui tells me that there are a dispellable debuff on my party/raid member?
The default blue color filter over the party frames have too much color in them so it makes it hard for me to see how much HP people have underneath the blue color indicator. I sure hope there is a way to change this, have been going through the options ten times but I cant seem to find any option for this. I hope I'm just blind.

Second, is there an option in elvui to automatically change your spec some how if you enter a BG as a healer but press the button to join while you are in dps spec? Because if there is, this option is bugging out on me changing my spec left and right without reason and I want to disable it.

I don't think this is ElvUI, I think Blizzard does it to stop people queuing as roles they can't fill.

 UnitFrames->General (don't go into specific frames)->Debuff Highlighting dropdown menu -> change it from 'Full' to some other option.

Trying out Elvui for like the 5th time, maybe this time I'll stick with it. I know there's a way to get recount to be dual embed so I can show damage and healing in the chat panel, but when I do the dual, I can still only ever get it to move to 1 side or the other, not have both windows open? Know the way to fix this?

You have to have 2 separate recount Windows made.  Or are you trying to put one window in left chat and the other in the right chat?  That I don't think is possible, and if it is you'd have to modify the elvui code somehow I imagine.

You can do this in one chat window, splitting it in 2 parts. I was using this for some time in WoD.

To do this in dual, you have first to sort both healing and damage windows exactly how you want them to appear and check that there's no 'Hide' or 'Lock' option is ticked for one of them.

It is a bit tricky, took me some time and a bunch of /reloadui to get it sorted.

I have a dumb question ... I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a tracked reputation bar to show up anywhere.  I have honor and artifact power next to the right chat box, but can't find any options to show a rep bar.  Anyone know?

Do you have it enabled in the Blizzard interface to show as an experience bar?

It is weird because the Rep bar tab options are just in the same window in Config where the Honor and Artifact bars are.

Do you have the bar enabled in Options but can't find it on your screen or you can't find where to enable it in the Config mode?

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
