    This is my UI. Everything I need to see is right around the crossbar, and I have abilities sitting over to the right so I can see what's not on cooldown. I hit them in their appropriate location in expanded crossbar (L2+R2, etc), but I want them visible on the side so I know when they pop back up for use.

    My buffs and debuffs are above the health bar with the enemy buffs and debuffs directly below it. I don't really have to gaze far to see anything relevant to DPSing, and my eyes never have to leave looking where I'm standing so I'm not missing attacks directed at me. I also use a macro to turn off the display of all my active quests while in a duty. That just takes up space on the screen which I don't need to see in a trial or dungeon. The less distracting me from what I actually need to see, the better.

    Thanks Nova! That's a really clean UI. Today I set mine up like it, and it makes playing a lot more enjoyable.

    I do that too. For anyone that's interested it's a very simple macro.

    Name: Duty List (or whatever you want to call it)
    /hud DutyList

    It will toggle the display of the Duty List on or off.

    No problem. Another thing I did in 2.x when I was done leveling was disable the exp bar (no need for it!), and one of the best things I did was turn off ability names displaying when holding down the triggers to use abilities. Those names would overlap the debuff icons, and I didn't need to see what abilities are named anyway because at this point we should all be familiar with what our buttons do. I've just in general have tried to remove as much clutter and unnecessary things from my display as possible.
