SHOW YOUR HUD LAYOUT

[RayddenPrime]

I wanna see your HUD layout so I can be inspired in making mine better...I like clean and practical layouts so i can see more of the game's beauty and still make things easy for me to maneuver around. HERE IS MINE CURRENTLY

[Rasikko]

I will later(not at my PC) but im gonna point out that this thread will turn into 'Tips and Tricks on how to not have 80% of your screen cluttered with hotbars and other UI elements' as this is what we all try to achieve Im sure.

[Krotoan]

you uh.. would HATE my layout. Yours is nice and clean though.

Something like this

Healer HUD


Non-healer HUD

So...
I use a razor orbweaver with my keys in a grid of 5 across and 4 down... everything keybound with 2 keys acting as modifers (shift and control)... so... I don't need the icons except for noting cooldowns I'm not mentally aware of the timing on...

As such:

Keep the screen free of clutter...

Layout config:


I seem to have a real lack of screenshots taken in combat, so here's one from a month ago (feb 2), taken by accidentally hitting the button most likely... You can see that my own buffs are too close the boss's debuffs blocking me from seeing the timer (because unlike in WoW, I can't move where the timer shows up...). I've since move them apart from each other a bit to fix that:

Mine's pretty minimalistic.


On an ultrawide now, but still the same setup. Enemy list on right of central bars.
Focus in line and left of Target.
My cast bar in line with Focus cast bar, above Target and Target cast bar.
My status bar above abilities and just below, item by item, Target status bar.
Unless I need to read the chat window, it, too, is usually off.

All job-swap and auxiliary bars are on a fly-out command via one of the less handy buttons on my MMO mouse. I click what I want, then close it again.

My other HUD puts the enemy list and party list nearer to each other on the left while shuffling abilities further to the right, with the most important to track being leftmost rather than topmost.

Not too special, and overall not too different from default.

I have all the abilities with cooldown, proc, or just anything that needs to be seen pretty center to my screen so I can see it easily during combat. Regular GCD abilities are hidden since there's no need to have them on your screen.



When I need to change key assignment I temporally switch to preset HUD that shows them

To spice things up, how many of you use keybinds for abilities vs mouse click? I pretty much exclusively click my abilities as i tend to lose track of my fingers with so many abilities to activate on Tanks/DPS.

I was waiting to see a WHM with only Glare on their toolbar.
