How to Set Up Your UI in World of Warcraft

Since the start of Dragonflight, Blizzard has introduced entirely new UI base settings that enhance your gaming and help you with decision-making. While traditional add-ons like ElvUI are external ways of improving your interface; this guide will show you how to have similar results without relying on such add-ons.

The most important element of each UI is your player frame to edit it, Right Click your Avatar>Edit Mode>Left Click on Avatar. Your aim is to drag your Player Frame closer to the middle of the screen; this way, your eyes will be centered on your character without constantly glancing at a random spot on your screen.(see image below)

It is advised to have the Target Frame just opposite of Player Frame as it will help you track Enemy health and resources easier. You can access it by right-clicking your player avatar and selecting Edit Mode, after that, you can adjust the frame size to your liking.(see image below)

Blizzard has introduced a unique way to customize your Cast Bar based on your likings. I always prefer the Cast Bar to be in the middle between Player Frame and Target Frame (see screenshot below) for the most optimal performance. This way, you can't lose track of your own Frame while casting spells.

Action bars are this game's second most important thing. However, depending on your class and specialization, they may be more or less important. I always recommend having at least 2 Action Bars located just under your Player and Target Frame for the most optimal performance. To access them, check the screenshot below.

• You can adjust the Icon Size and the number of rows you want by selecting each Action Bar individually and accessing their options.
• I often dedicate one of the Action Bars to be vertical rather than horizontal and include the most important utility spells to help me track them in case of an important encounter.

Some players dislike any extra Action Bar Art as they prefer the more "modern" look, similar to what ElvUI offers. For this option to be available, simply click on your Player Frame>Edit Mode >Click on Action Bar 1>De-Select Hide Bar Art (see the screenshot below).
