You don't need Clique for mouse-over casting; the default UI can do that since Shadowlands. Options -> Gameplay / Combat / Mouseover Cast = Enabled with mode None. Clique allows creating hover-sensitive keybinds quickly without having to write macros, but in my opinion, they are error-prone and not really necessary, so I prefer having 1 ability per keybind.
Clique is designed to simplify already in game functions like mouseovers. I like it because it's very simple and my small brain doesn't have to learn more lol, but you can absolutely go without it! Also I haven't had any errors with it, but that doesn't mean they don't exist!
@@LBNinja7 With error-prone I meant human error. If I bind 2 abilities to 1 mouse-hover sensitive key-bind and I want to cast the non-mouse-hover ability in a very hectic fight, I might accidentally press the key-bind while still having the mouse hovered over a party frame and end up casting the wrong ability. My brain would then try to avoid that situation by always moving the mouse cursor really far away from party frames, but getting the mouse back to the party frames would then take more effort. It's a trade-off of having lots of simple key-binds vs fewer but complex key-binds. One could discuss this for hours I think. :)
Game version of click is not good. Whenever you make a new talent profile your click settings disappear on your old profiles. Same with a new character, then you go back to the character with wow click setup and you cannot res ppl on shift click! Add-ons are much less error prone than the wow counterparts.
@@LBNinja7 The only bug I found in clique was when I was trying to cast soul stone on my warlock. Sometimes it would target the person I was clicking on directly (my preference) but annoyingly it started self-casting which is catastrophic when I was trying to b-rez someone. Since then I dropped clique and experimented with the default. Default frames bug out in raid, so I dropped those and I now use Cell and for the most part am very happy with it. Probably the best party frames I have used since Vanilla.
It's a lot to take in, I remember from when I was first starting and was overwhelmed! But if there's anything you want to know how to do, feel free to ask and I might know!
Good video as always! But i really hate omnicd, i mean just see my dps players have all the defensives and pots etc while im sweating to keep them alive... its just so annoying. Anyway, thanks for your videos
Hey! How can i display mana bomb on Vex boss with Grid 2? It is so important to see who needs healing at that moment but standart ui is so small to see debuff. btw thx for guide!
I totally agree! It helps a ton to add certain boss mechanics and debuffs. I'm away from my pc right now (out of town) so I'll try to walk it through and let me know if something I say isn't there! Type /grid2 to open the menu Click "statuses" on the left Click "debuffs" There should be a bar you can type in to type the debuff name or spell Id, and you can put "386173" in. From there you can hit "create" or "okay" whatever it's called that enters it in Find the debuff you just added and you can select where you want it on your name plates
Sorry, I aint filling my UI with a whole middle keyboard blocking my view, it worked fine so far moving to the name bars on the left side of the screen. Sure, it is not optimal, but it works fine and the center of my screen is clean. I cant stand having target icons in the middle of the screen...
@@LBNinja7 Absolutely, I love it when you explain the way you do things, cuz u are clearly are good at what you do. This comment was more like a way of reassuring myself my way also works :)))
Basically, a good UI will show you all the important information during hectic fights in such a way that your eyes and your brain can easily and quickly retrieve it. In WoW that means having important stuff like ability cool-downs and party frames close to the middle where you usually focus your camera on enemies. I dislike the redundancy of showing abilities in the middle (WAs) and the bottom of the screen (action bars). My solution: no redundant WAs in the middle of the screen; just move up the action bars up to the middle and put the important abilities in the top row. It's less readable than a fully customized set of WAs because it has 3x12 icons, but it works for me, and the other nice thing is it works for all classes and specs.

As someone who puts HOURS into my UI for every character, I still took away some new knowledge from this....Thanks for the video. You da man
Thank you so much!! No you da man!! Also, shoot me picks of the ui you made! I'm interested to see!
I always enjoy good UI guides and yours is truly thorough, congrats! The WA part in particular helped me a lot
I'm so glad!! Thank you!
There's so much to process,but your video was beneficial. Thanks again, man! I've been struggling with that nameplate for a long time.

@@LBNinja7 Sure! I'd love to. You are the best
Great video that will help many
Man I really hope so! I appreciate you taking the time to comment this, it means a lot!
I learned something today; thanks!
Excelent contribution, thank you so mutch!
Great reminder for someone who have forgotten all these things !
Thank you!
Of course!!
Good video as always! But i really hate omnicd, i mean just see my dps players have all the defensives and pots etc while im sweating to keep them alive... its just so annoying. Anyway, thanks for your videos
LOL yeah it can be tilting, but can also save you some cds at times!
@@LBNinja7 Yea, its a must have addon for sure :)

Of course!!
Can you also use eg. "Shift + 1" as a bind for Clique?

@@LBNinja7 thx a lot for answer ! I ve found great add on for that! Enchant raid Frames! I can put any debuff and buff on frames easily! 🤝
Thanks for the video, how to add trinkets and wespons to WA? Does just typing the item name into the trigger box work?
Is there a way to set up party frames without being in a party? Like have mock up frames I can practice on
I usually queue into a follower dungeon and it helps!
@@LBNinja7 wow great idea

That's fine! Just showing how I made mine since I'm always asked, but you can just as easily make it but not in the center of the screen!
