I have been using Ultimate UI up to now and have not updated it during the last few patches. Unfortunately my Dmg Meters and Threat Meters are no longer synched. Each time I update I also need to rebuild the bars and action buttons so I am thinking it might be time to switch.

What UI do you all use and what action item bars are really the best for dual boxers?

bongo bars is a popular choice by many boxers. removes alot of junk from the screen and makes it much more easier and user friendly.

it comes down to personal preferance, but i agree with OPT & have been using bongos since It came out.( I miss Flexbar)

For the rest of the UI, I pick mods I like & configure them the way I like. I don't like the packs of mods, I try to keep it minimal.

Some things I can't live without:
1. Bongos (Bar Mod)
2. Pitbull (Unit Frames)
3. Proximo(Arena PVP Target List)
4. TwoBoxToolkit (Mostly use this for the whisper/quest accept functionality)
5. Bagnon. (Inventory /bag deal)


Some things I am still looking for:
A good Small lightweight Tooltip addon that lets the tooltip follow mouse. Small/simple/low memory footprint is important.
(Currently Using an old version of tinytip that throws errors, but it did exactly what i wanted till it broke)

My clones have all of the above, but that's it for mods, I REALLY try to keep thier UI Simple & uncluttered even more than my main.

I Prefer Xperl Unitframes, it's looking cool has a Focus function and you see the Casting of your Grp.
I don't know what Pitbull is like, I gonna try it sooner or later.

Extremely more customizable to look either more simple or complex then xperl. Does take a while to understand and get used to compared to xperl however

omen for threat, and I stay away from damage meters, because all the ones i've seen are so simple they suck, or so giant they eat up a ton of memory.

Bongos bars, AG Unit frames, though I would suggest xperl to first time UI-ers. EEpanels2 for making it look pretty.

Align to make it all look right.

Bongos are cool, I also use Trinity bars because I like the way you can set keybinds by putting your cursor over an ability, and just press a button on the keyboard - very handy for tweaking things on the fly.

I also suggest BugMeNot, which autmatically rejects trades, group invites, guild invites, and duel spam. VERY handy, if your guys are'nt guilded. However, I've found I'm now getting MORE /whispers asking what the mod is, because they want it. (Go figure, they just duel spammed me)

Used to love flexbar.

Tried Bongos and bartender, meh. It's Trinity 2 all the way for me ;)

BTW you don't need omen on your clones, anything that has threat-1.0 will do, such as Aloft, Assessment, PitBull, Recount and Violation
