ElvUI: a Comprehensive Guide

Recommended Posts

I have tried both enabling as an experience bar and disabling.  I still can't find any way to show a rep bar anywhere.  This is for a level 110 toon.  On a level 103 toon, my exp bar shows up on the left side, but there is also no rep bar anywhere nor can I find a way to enable one.  Maybe I'm just retarded!

Open your chapter panel and on the bottom there should be a tab that says reputation (or press the 'U' key by default) to open the reputation panel.  From there you click on the rep you want to follow and click the 'show as experience bar' box.

So I've downloaded ElvUI and tried setting it up with this guide. However, there seems to have been an update, so the guide doesn't quite correspond to the options in the ElvUI config anymore. The main issue for me at this point is that I'm just overwhelmed with options. I looked around for profiles to download, so I'd at least have some sort of a start-up from which I can adjust things to my liking, but they all require tons of other addons as well. As a raid healer (holy priest), I use VuhDo for my healing, so I would integrate that, one way or the other, but at this point, there's just so much going on and there are so many things to adjust that I'm considering going back to the regular Blizzard UI simply because I have no idea where to start.

Is there anyone that can help me out with a basic healer UI that doesn't require tons of extra addons, or that can point me in the right direction? I understand that being able to adjust everything to your liking is awesome, but it's a tad overwhelming for first-time users.

Hi,

thanks for the guide - helped me get into ElvUI quickly. I'm not using any other Add-On for unit frames, but the role of each member is only shown in raids - it just disappears in a 5-man party. How do I enable this to be as it is in vanilla UI?

Also: How can I change the color of my own player frame? I don't like how grey it is :(

Can you please elaborate what exact options in the configuration don't correspond to the guide anymore so I'd update them? No one pointed to this kind of problems in Legion so frankly, I didn't check the basic setup process recently.

I can share my profile but have a question here too - what to you mean by tons of other addons that you must have to use somebody else's profile?

I use ElvUI+VuhDo, the rest of addons that I use in raids (DBM, GTFO, WA, AA) are completely optional and don't affect the healing in any way.

Btw, you can pick a generic profile in ElvUI config window->Profiles, so you wouldn't start from a scratch.

@Pandacho I've noticed the same as @LadyAndraste while configuring my ElvUI. This is mainly an issue concerning the "dropdown menus" - I just couldn't find them. I think they have been moved or revamped into tabs, they're just not where you'd expect them as seen in your screenshots. The sections "Minimap", "Name plates" and partly "Unit frames" have experienced some changes from what I've gathered.

It's true that it's a tad overwhelming for first-time users but unless you find install add-ons and then download profile, you won't find a already done Healer UI.

You should be able to do something nice with Elvui + Vudho for your UI. The guide for Vudho on icy-veins is simple to understand and will help you a lot to  setup it. For others Addon like DBM / WA / etc. It's all up to you to use them, they're not required.

Ah, right. This was changed in the 04/09 update :-/

Thanks for reminding me, I will update the guide and include my current profile for people that are not interested to start from a scratch.

Thank you for so much information and easy to follow steps too. Elvui is now my favorite UI.

Somebody know how to change this background 

Did you download somebody else's UI package or ElvUI plugins? I never saw this in the standard ElvUI.

First of all, thanks for your reply and my apologies for getting back to you only now. The other addons (like DBM and GTFO) I have too, but when I looked up profiles, those all required me to download other addons as well - I don't quite remember names now. I'll try to import your profiles and see if I can make that work, ty!!

You can definitely try my profiles - they don't require anything additional to install.

So any time I try to import one of the profiles it says error importing data, import string may be corrupted

This is the reason for the errors you get.

Sorry, all the profiles work only for the same language client. it is possible to change (translate) things directly in .lua file but this is the common problem - WA, ElvUI, VuhDo profiles give errors when trying to import them to non-english clients.

You said you have 2 profiles but I can't figure out how to import them? I tried to copy and paste but that doesn't work. So how do we import a profile?

Okay, I checked and it turns out that the forum editor corrupts the code :(

I fixed it but you still have to remove the last space that editor adds after the string (it should finish with ==)

Spoiler

This is what you get after the Import:

Remove this line and you'll get this:

Very sorry if this has been asked previously, I have not found it asked before. I am having trouble getting rid of the action bars that come equipped with blizzard's UI after following your guide. I have messed with WoW's menu to no avail. When I click and drag spells from the ElvUI's action bars it also replaces the standard blizzard action bars with the same spells. So I have duplicate bars. Am I missing something? Ive attached a screen shot of what my UI looks like. I will say that I had A LOT of addons installed prior to installing ElvUI and have disabled most of them except skada/handynotes/mapcoords/dbm/GTFO/ackis/raid assist/cat rotation helper/rotation helper/tomtom/garrison mission manager/zygor/gnome sequencer. 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

      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.
