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.

Thanks Panda - downloading VuhDo now! :P

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) :)

I figured it out: ElvUI > Nameplates > Player Frame > Disable (top left) - Thanks!

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?

      Fixed an issue preventing “Something Different” from being properly completed by PvP Brawls. Fixed an issue causing a Hunt choice to be unintentionally greyed out for “Aiding the Accord: The Hunt is On”.

      Blizzard have detailed an upcoming nerf coming "soon" (presumably today) to the pendultimate boss of Amirdrassil Mythic. Players will now be getting 2 extra feathers so more can dragonride and grab the orbs, and especially to do more damage to the roots.
      Tindral (Source)
      With a hotfix that we’ll apply to the game soon:
      Tindral Sageswift Fallen Feathers now spawn 6 feathers (was 4) on Mythic Difficulty. And as always, this change will be listed later in our Hotfixes Update.

      A big week 3 in the dungeons, as we'd usually see things stabilizing by now, but the constant  class tuning is not letting things calm down. After last week's smaller tuning pass we had a big one hit this week, so things won't be staying as they are for long!
      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
      Augmentation keeps showcasing why its raid logs are very very wrong, as the completion-based charts sees them just not budging from the top! Fire moves up in the world as both it and Havoc move past Outlaw and form the top 3, as Demonology stands firm behind the Rogue. Assassination apparently isn't happy with just dominating raids, so it's gaining ground here as well, moving 2 spots up into 7th, same as  Beast Mastery in 8th. However, both specs got hit by the nerf bat this week so we'll see where they end up next time. Arcane and Enhancement close out the top 10, with the Mage dropping down and the Shaman moving up.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      The top 4 remains identical in the generalist bracket, as we see Demonology breaking up the monotony and pushing into a Mage sandwich in 5th. BM is up for now here as well, as Fury still does much better and closes out the top 10. The bottom 3 are similar to the above chart, with the rest of the Warlocks down in the dumps, but with Marksmanship joining them instead of Devastation.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Havoc reigns supreme in the actual DPS charts, quite a bit ahead of Demonology in second, which is basically tied with Beast Mastery in third! However, let's not forget the raw DPS numbers are not tracking Augmentation properly so let's imagine it up here somewhere as well, instead of down in the bottom 3. The two Rogues both remains stable in 4th and 5th as Arcane drops off a big 4 spots, leaving Enhancement in its 6 spot. Retribution and Survival also used this opportunity and moved up in the world, with the Paladin gaining a solid 3 spots and the Hunter a giant 8 in 8th! Fire is also on the rise with a 4-spot bump, just ahead of its fallen Mage brother.

      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.


      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      Today, we're looking at a video covering some scrapped Warlords of Draenor content.
      The video was created by Dovah the Explorer who shows off unused and untextured maps. Zones that were never finished or used for anything in the Warlords of Draenor expansion (with the exception of a few game objects / assets).
      We get to see unfinished zones like Karabor Interior.

      There's also an orcish city named Grommar that never went live.

      We also see a bunch of prototype garrisons for each zone that never went live, even a Tier 4 one with a cathedral.

      You can watch Dovah's video with more scrapped content below.
