soooooooo confused

[crzywolve]

so I'm getting closer to actually starting the boxing this weekend I will be "lateraly aquireing" a friends account that cannot play anymore because of life issues.

I have also changed my idea of what to play. I already have a 37 TaurDruid. So, I'm going to roll another one and run 2 druids. I'll prob lvl as ballance spec, but then when i have it figured out and get better by 70, I'll prob have one spec'd Boomkin, and the other resto. I'll worry later about how to do that since the "mimic" part will be gone and I'll be micro-managing both. THAT will be interesting.

I also just aquired a 17" crt monitor from a friend. It was sitting in his closet so now I will have 2 screens and no money out of my pocket lol wish me luck there lol

Ok, so here is the situation ... I got a new account (gameStop battlechest for $39) and I have been testing over the weekend with a few different duel class setups. So far, I'm thinking hunter/hunter for PVE and mage/mage for PVP (those are basicly the main ones I play anyways)

I got Keyclone (THANKS ROB!!! ) and it works great!!

SO, here is my problem ... I keep running out of space on my bar!! I know, I know .. everyone says to get a new UI that key binds .. only problem I have is, I have NO CLUE how to do that!! (wow, I just felt sorry for myself a little)

I have read thru several stickies and have seen several different UIs posted. Can someone please give me a good couple of suggestions?! Since I can no longer use the point and click bars like I do alot on my regular main, I want to use something that will make since (at least to me) and then get on with it.

Thanks in advance

look for the wow addon 'bongos'... should work for you

Before you frighten yourself with Bongos and completely mess up your current key bindings...

Have you turned on the additional bars in Advanced Interface Options? You can have two vertical bars on the right of your screen, a bar on top of your normal bar and another bar on top of your bags/settings/etc.

You will just need to modify your key bindings for these bars.

By default your main bar is bound to 1-0, -, =
Your pet bar is bound to CTRL 1,2,3,etc

Very dangerous is SHIFT 1-0 which will scroll your active main bar. I suggest unbinding SHIFT 1-0 or binding it to a fixed bar.

And then you still have ALT available.

So if you make the 2 additional bars on the bottom of your screen visible you will have a total of 36 buttons available. Binding the 2nd bar the same as your main bar but with SHIFT held down makes it pretty easy and you can do the 3rd bar with ALT hold down. This way you can keep CTRL for the pet bar or if you macro the pets you can re-use CTRL for a bar as well.

Warning with Bongos, make a backup of your WTF folder before installing Bongos. I installed Bongos2, got presented with a crapload of frames when I logged on that would take some serious time to get scaled and positioned effectively.

I removed Bongos2 from my addons as I wanted to do a quick instance run and then I realized Bongos2 unbound all my hotbar key bindings.

So if you are not in the mood or don't have the time to reorganize your UI completely then don't install Bongos. Or at least make a backup of your WTF folder so you can put your keybindings back if you decide not to use Bongos.
