Ui Mod junky here quick brief:

I was a former single toon raider and modded my ui something cronic. I had multiple installs and Ui's for just the ONE toon. Eg I had a fully decked out modded to the max no everything that was happening on screen, a farming ui for the times I'd spend just aoe'ing mobs and had pretty graphics, a PVP focused UI with the arc health/mana bars to avoid the "tunnel" approach that some ui modding can give and also a Minimalistic Ui where there was one action bar and single line player frames. I would spend hours/days working refining mods to be just right then package them up and distrubte to friends.

Multiboxing: I worked to minimise unessacry addons so that the game was still purdy, played with ok fps and had all the info I needed. Approx 20 or so diff mods. After a while i realised that only the brain needed all the tweaks and ran the drones with aguf or pitbull frames (depended on the mood i was in LOL) and multibox addon. Then tbh all i needed to do was disable all the pretty addons that aren't really needed when playing and got the main and clones working with just a player frame mod and multibox addon.

PATCH DAY: I spend the whole week tweaking, searching and re-editing mods/ui's to work with the update. A whole week out of leveling and I am seeing mates enjoying playing the game whilst I sit in IF tweaking settings loggin on and off, switching box's copy pasting etc etc.



CONCLUSION: DEFAULT UI with all bars showing with keybindings for all. Add your choice of box addon be it Jamba or Multibox etc. Then when you need to load on demand your auctioneer, mass mail, cartographer, gear comparing mod, outffiter/closet gnome/item rack etc, titan panel/fubar etc, bag mod ark inventory etc etc. You can spend a lot of time setting up the perfect UI and adding all the bells and whistles in the world, to only one day have a mod conflict or a patch day screw you royally. You will get attached to your modded UI and will find the defaut UI ugly, unplayable even. You cant go wrong if u setup the default UI to be a box friendly interface and learn to play with more bindings. That's my opinion and I could honestly say across all accoutns I'd have any easy 60 odd levels worth of gameplay if I just played rather then modded.

Not that modding isn't challenging, fun and rewarding. But a goblin once said to me "time is money friend"
