The layout is from that original pack available on Wow Interface. If you're familiar with healing UI's, you'll probably recognize the layout of this from Aliena's UI. My guild is 8/8 in Dragon Soul and we're there solely because of this UI. Over the past few months, I've been playing around with my UI and have finally reached something I like and works well in raid content. That UI was definitely simplistic, but when I reached raid content, it was not viable. As you'll see, my UI has really evolved since October. I sent in a simplistic healing UI a couple months back. It's Absinth here from Black Dragonflight. Here's Absinth's take on the whole thing: Never fear, though, because Absinth's raiding UI is very much a work of personal touch, personal accommodation, and personal experience.
A shame, considering how much I loved the original UI.
As it turns out, upon reaching the raid game, Absinth's UI did not hold up as intended.
When Absinth sent in a UI for Reader UI of the Week back in October, I praised the simple layout and said that with a few tweaks to the non-static UI elements, the setup would have been fine for raiding. It's less of a problem these days with the Dungeon Journal, random Raid Finder and Dungeon Finder tools, and a general understanding of what raiding is among the video gaming populace. It's a weird phenomenon in video gaming, where as you progress through a journey learning skills, gaining allies, and collecting equipment, the fundamentals of your play experience radically shift. "But it's been fine like this for 85 levels!" you exclaim. And when the mighty finally ascend the stairs of destiny and plant their flag at the top of the world, then you realize your interface just isn't going to cut it anymore. While raiding should be a focus for design teams, because you need constant current end game content, the path to raiding is still a long and arduous one. The raiding game comes upon us faster than ever these days, as the leveling portion of the game shrinks just as much as it expands with each subsequent expansion.
