Complete obedience. When I raid lead that is what I demand. If I say wipe, the group huddles in a corner to kiss their asses. If I say the boss is dying this attempt, it keels over and sprays purples at us. If I say jump in a fiery pit of lava because I got tired of Mins and Lubu messing up with the map, THE GROUP DOES IT. Guys, SHUT UP, this is seriously how we get back to Stormwind. Look, its right after Google Maps says to not jump in the large hole…um…I’ll have to get back to you guys.

Before getting side-tracked by last week’s topic, I’d wanted to talk about the new troll heroics and their propensity to drown hunters in poison and decapitate healers. If you can’t tell yet, I’ve had some bad experiences with these places, even with a full group of Hachi Scouts. This is precisely why you should do these new heroics. “But Hachi!” you cry. “I’m clearly not as good or as sexy as you!” And how right you are!

I really grappled with how to approach this week’s blog (and yes, I’m aware I’m a week late but I took a much needed mental break). A rather important event in world history took place, something I wasn’t entirely certain I felt comfortable commenting on. No, it wasn’t the fact that I solo’ed the last boss of ZA from 25% or that the single mob I killed at a dig site dropped a Hyacinth Macaw. It wasn’t even the astoundingly cute girl who has taken more than a slight passing interest in me. These are all important instances obviously, but in all seriousness there was a rather significant piece of news.

Happy Hachimas everyone! We celebrate this day by the mailing Hachi bits of gold in traditional envelopes. This is said to bring good luck and fortune for the rest of the year. Oh and there’s this little thing that no one observes called Easter going on. I really don’t know who in the world belongs to that faith. Hunters maybe?

Alright you may be scratching your head and asking yourself “what the hell am I looking at? That’s a standard UI.” You’re right, it mostly is. That’s the beauty of it. You don’t NEED addons to excel. They can help significantly but overreliance on addons can be as much of a crutch as not having any. Your personal needs may run the gamut from none at all to extreme customization.

You’ll notice immediately Mak uses a HUD UI. This can be extremely useful if you need to keep a closer eye on your health and energy bars than usual. There’s also the scrolling combat text, very useful if you need to watch specific procs as they come up. Less busy than Gralic’s.

Another example of heavy healer customization. Healers often have a lot to track and Mins has taken this to an extreme. I really would not recommend this degree of information output. Mins has tunnel vision issues and I’m sure this UI is partly to blame. Unless you’re leading, information output should be kept to a minimum.

Here is the opposite end of things. This is what a high-end healer’s UI looks like. The UI is so highly specialized that unless it’s set to flip around in other settings, it might be unwieldy. It’s very sleek and the result of A LOT of work. Don’t go into this expecting your UI to end up looking like this after 10 minutes of tinkering. Ask Gralic if you want help with anything being used.
