ElvUI: a Comprehensive Guide

Recommended Posts

I really like ElvUI, but there are certain things that really annoy me.  

1)   I cant seem to figure out how to add the time stamp to my chat windows, and 2)  I cant seem to figure out how to change the health/mana in the nameplates, target plates.. ie.  my health says it is 361k, but I want to see 361,400 instead and a percentage of health remaining right next to it.  And I want to change the font/colors.  3) As was posted above, I would really like to see the sliver dragon or gold dragon for elite mobs to be able to differentiate.

 

1) ElvUI config->Chat->Chat Timestamps - the dropdown menu is right there in the middle.

2) ElvUI config->UnitFrames->Player Frame (Target Frame, whatever other frame)->'Health' in the right dropdown menu->'Text Format' line - hover your mouse above the line and you'll see a tooltip with a lot of possible format strings for Health.

Then choose 'Power' in dropdown menu - it's the same process for Mana.

You can change font and color for Unit Frames all together, not one by one: choose UnitFrames (the main section) and scroll down a bit - it's all there.

3) You can't see dragons in ElvUI but you can add [shortclassification] to the Target Frame Health Text Line and it will add 'Rare' or 'Elite' to the frame.

idk what i did but now ive got these floating name plates everywhere and i cant figure out how to disable them. see pic for details.

Also, I did an LFR and not really sure I am a fan of the raid frames, is there something that will make it easier for me to see who needs healing??? slightly darker gray on regular grey doesnt really help

Thank you!  I ended up finding the timestamp thing.  The unit frames are a little frustrating to work with.

Not that bad :) You actually have to sort out only one type of a frame and then there's an option to copy the configuration to any other type or sub-type. So for all the other frames you will have only to tweak some things.

Did you perhaps press Shift + V? That should turn on/off Friendly NPC names.

1. As PaasHaaS said - check that you didn't press Ctrl+V, if it wouldn't help go to ElvUI config->NamePlates line and uncheck 'Enable'. See if it'll make you feel better.

2. ElvUI is not a healing addon. It's possible to use it but I really wouldn't recommend. Try VuhDo - here's the guide, and this is how it looks in raid (green frames in the middle):

Hi I am new here and so far I love the ELVui addon, I only have 2 things which are driving me crazy, and I've looked all night for the answers or how to disable / fix them.

I am trying to find a way to hide the "Raid Control" icon when I am in a raid /  party and I have been unsucessfull on removing this.

The second thing is on the bottom right hand corner of my UI you will see the name of the player, gearscore, and the health bar with the color of the class. Is there a way to remove the health bar of whoever you are hovering over so it looks close to default as possible? 

thank you!

Hello!

1. To disable Raid Control, go to ... ElvUI\modules\misc\raidUtility.lua file, open it in Wordpad and jump to

--Check if We are Raid Leader or Raid Officer
local function CheckRaidStatus()
    local inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()
    if ((IsInGroup() and not IsInRaid()) or UnitIsGroupLeader('player') or UnitIsGroupAssistant("player")) and not (inInstance and (instanceType == "pvp" or instanceType == "arena")) then
        return
true
    else
        return false
    end

 

Change 'true' to 'false' - worked for me today.

 

2. What you see in the bottom right corner is a Tooltip. If you want it in the classic Blizzard style, go to ElvUI config and uncheck 'Enable' in 'Tooltip' line of the menu.

I'm not sure what do you mean by macro here, you should type this into the 'Visibility State' window of your Action Bar.

The right syntax would be:

[vehicleui] hide; [overridebar] hide; [petbattle] hide; [nocombat] hide; show;

Thank you for the easy step by step installation instructions. I can't wait to play with my new ui! I was able to get it to load once. My game crashed and now I can't log back in- I get a 134 error. Any ideas as to why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks!

Sorry to hear about it but it has nothing to do with ElvUI :(

Looks like there's some problem on US servers today with a lot of people experience this error.

Blizzard reaction is here.

Sorry, I wasn't able to understand what exactly you want to achieve :( On your second screenshot you are pointing at Grid addon while this thread is for ElvUI.

If you are talking about the window with 'Interface' on the top, it's the main game config window and you can't move it around without some specific addons. Neither you can access most of configurations during fights. 

It's still not a part of ElvUI. You can move ElvUI config window around on the screen holding and dragging it by the 'ElvUI' word on the top. It is not accessible during fights.

Hello,

How can I remove the durability, time, gold at the bottom of the interface?

For example, this : e13caeebfe.png

Thank you !

Go to Datatext in the left menu, choose 'Panels' tab in the right side window, uncheck Datatext Panel (Left) and Datatext Panel (Right). You didn't post a full screenshot so I don't know which one of two it is.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
    • By Starym
      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
    • By Starym
      There's plenty more class changes for both the pre-patch and Season of Discovery, along with dungeon tweaks, Skyriding fixes, profession and PvP adjustments and more!
       July 25 (Source)
      Classes
      Druid Balance Wrath cast by Convoke the Spirits now consumes Dreamstate buffs from Nature's Grace and the Amirdrassil Season 3 (2-piece) Set Armor bonus. Amirdrassil Season 3 (2-piece) Set Armor: Dreamstate now increases the damage of Wrath and Starfire by 80% (was 100%). Hunter Survival Players who had a Wildfire Bomb override from Wildfire Infusion's previous iteration have had them removed. Warrior Protection Fixed a bug causing Spell Reflection to occasionally fail to reflect a spell. Dungeons and Raids
      Algeth'ar Academy Fixed an issue where Vexamus would not face its target during the cast of Arcane Expulsion on Heroic and Mythic difficulty. Flying
      Pathfinder requirements for Skyriding have been removed from Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands zones. Player-versus-Player
      Malicia and Field Master Emberath now correctly offer their Dragonflight Season 4 War Mode equipment until the launch of War Within. Resolved an issue that sometimes prevented healers from being able to duo queue in Rated Battleground Blitz. Professions
      Reduced Trainer costs for Dragonflight professions. Titles
      The Title "Timber Lord" should now display correctly. Season of Discovery
      Increased the number of Firelands Invader, Obsidian Reaver, and Obsidian Surger spawns for the Blackrock Eruption event across Searing Gorge. The Might of Stormwind buff will now appear properly in the tooltip when a Chronoboon is used. Items Devilcore Leggings and Devilcore Gloves patterns can now drop from additional sources other than King Mosh. All of the revamped or new Molten Core items that were strictly Unique are now Unique-Equipped to allow master looters to hold these items during raids. Season of Discovery versions of recipes should be available again from their trainers, making turn-ins for professions quests possible. Mage Rewind Time can no longer be cast if the target will not benefit from its healing. Priest Priests who don't have the Divine Spirit talent learned are now prevented from casting higher ranks of Divine Spirit and Prayer of Spirit. Rogue The cooldown on Rogue Shuriken Toss has been reduced to 20 seconds (was 30 seconds). Warlock Shadowflame will no longer be overwritten by Improved Shadow Bolt. Warrior Last Stand cooldown reduced to 3 minutes.
