Resto Druid Mythic+ UI Setup Guide

[@winrall5330]

Thanks for another great video. Ive started playing Wow about 2 months ago, and im following yours and Growls content to help me improve as restodruid (: basically I mimic whatever you/Growl are teaching hehe many thanks and keep up the good work... my highest key so far was a HOA +17 last week... Ill try to learn catweaving this week Anyways, ur UI is very clean & helpful and Ill defo import some of ur stuff, thanks again

[@cocomojo-gg]

Oh wow, you're welcome! Being in the same sentence as Growl is high praise, I'm really glad you're finding the videos to be helpful. And it sounds like you're already owning! Be careful with cat weaving this week, spiteful are dangerous for you in melee and typhoon is a great tool to help peel for your team!

[@Anna-kn5lj]

thanks for sharing your ui, i like it a lot! 👏 i'd love to see a "how to climb in m+ while pugging" vid that i saw you suggest in the description of one of your other videos ☺️

[@cocomojo-gg]

Of course! I'm glad you like it :) I'm definitely interested in making a video like that. I ended up making one on how to improve as a healer in m+, but I'd like to focus more on pugging at some point.

exactly what i was looking for thanks

[@bingo_roswell2029]

This is very helpful for me learning resto druid. One question: how do i decrease the universal font size? The profile made all my fonts enormous...

[@kettos9542]

Great UI, really good

[@WaterDink]

Hey man, the aura filter google doc when imported says corrupted. any idea why?

[@cocomojo-gg]

Thanks for the heads up! I just updated the doc with a new import string. I updated ElvUI and it looks like the way they're encoding the aura filters has changed, so the string is much shorter now! I tested it just now, but please give it another try and let me know if it works or there's still a problem.

[@kirtwedel9275]

The UI looks great! Im guessing you used clique to be able to cast spells on the frames?

[@cocomojo-gg]

Thanks! I use mouse over macros, but clique is a great option for casting on frames

[@reymisteriofire]

how can i move the frames that are showing how long my hots are lasting the bars on top of your target i love it but its blocking too much on my screen for me and i dont know how to remove it or move it

[@cocomojo-gg]

Those are the aura bars! You can remove in the ElvUI config panel by going to UnitFrames -> Individual Units -> Target -> Aura Bars and unselecting the Enable box. If you still want to see some indicators for buffs/debuffs on your target, you can also go to the buffs and debuffs settings and enable those to get smaller square icons with timers.

[@karlomladenovic3637]

These are awesome! For me the High Priority WA is only showing adaptive swarm. When I open up the WA interface, it's showing other spells as well, but while playing only Adaptive Swarm warning is popping up. Is there a way to fix this? Also, the CD available notifier interface is showing me all of the spells that I should be notified about, but none of them are popping up on screen when they're about to come off CD.

[@cocomojo-gg]

I'm glad you like them! The high prio ability WA should show all of the spells when you're in combat, but only adaptive swarm outside of combat. This is because we will want to be casting it on cooldown on our team if we're between pulls. I'm not sure what's up with the CD notifier, please ping me on discord and we can hop in a call to try and sort it out: cocomojo#8004

[@karlomladenovic3637]

​@@cocomojo-gg Hi! I think the main issue was that I wasn't in an actual party, but just had the party frame enabled even when solo, so it didn't show properly that way. Once I started grouping, it all worked properly. Thank you! I do have another question. I've been googling it for a while now, but can't find an answer. Each time I attack, I hear a really loud "BAM" sound. I'd love to be able to turn it off. Any idea how? Once Elvui is turned off, the sound is gone, so I'm guessing that's where it's coming from.

[@1111victor]

thanks for the aura filters

[@cocomojo-gg]

No prob!

[@TheSalyer100]

hi the aura filters don't work for me could you please load a current profile of it that would be nice

[@cocomojo-gg]

Thanks for the heads up! I just re-exported the aura filters string and updated it in the google doc: docs.google.com/document/d/1-xves_jKAKuILiHrrNlXii0GR32QSEkpEdX85wNu7wM/edit

[@cocomojo-gg]

FYI I just had to re-export the aura filters string. Not sure if you're still having this problem, but I updated ElvUI and the export string is much shorter now.

[@nnajbolji]

Hi, lovimg the WA profile but why the High priority cd wont appear on my screen when i lets say pop swiftmend, efflo, convoke etc

[@cocomojo-gg]

Glad you're enjoying the UI mods! The high priority HoT weakaura only tracks lifebloom, efflo, and cenarion ward, but you can add other spells if you want!

[@nnajbolji]

@@cocomojo-gg yeah i know that, but when i use efflo, lifebloom the icon with the active lifebloom or efflo doesnt apear/pop up like on your screen if you get me But all in all perfect ui

[@cheekygnome]

I keep getting a decompression error when I try to import your string into WA. It also looks like the string from the "Copy Import" button and your Google doc is completely different.

[@cocomojo-gg]

Hey! Sorry to hear about the problems. It sounds like you may have tried to import the elvui profile as a weakaura. Please try again in the elvui profile import window. You can also ping me on discord and I'll be happy to help troubleshoot: cocomojo#8004 The import string in the Google doc should be different from the wago string; the wago string is for the general interface settings and the Google doc string is for the HoT icons on the party frames

[@MarkNg25]

Thank you so much for the add-ons and UI guide! It works well in dungeon or party. However, when swap to raid - the target bar is overlapped. May I know how can I fix that?

[@cocomojo-gg]

No prob! Yeah head into the elvui config window and in the bottom left you'll see a button that says "toggle anchors". Click that to show anchors for all the UI components and drag them to where you want them. Enjoy!

Hey dude, wich addon do you use for the Moonfire, Sunfire and Rake duration? And wich one is the one above them, that shows the incoming boss skills? Tyvm

[@cocomojo-gg]

Yo! The dot tracking on the nameplates is part of elvui, so are the cast bars! I mostly track upcoming boss abilities with bigwigs/littlewigs

[@topha007]

@@cocomojo-gg Hey, thx for your answer. But i think u misunderstood me. I meant the bar above your target frame like in 0:05. Monfire and Sunfire are ticking down on the right next to your Druid WA. :)

Hi thanks for the helpful video. I have a question. Is there any way to hide my the party frame when im not in a party? Because right now i can see my normal frame but can also see my frame on the party frames. Thanks alot for your help.

[@cocomojo-gg]

No problem! Yeah you can hide the party frames outside of a group. In the ElvUI config window, go to Unitframes -> Group Units -> Party, then close to the bottom you'll see the "Visibility" setting. Change that to "[@raid6,exists][nogroup] hide;show" and you'll be good to go! Thanks for the question :)

[@didierchiri4125]

@@cocomojo-gg Thanks alot for your help! Just one last question. I dont mean to be a nuisance. Is there a way to reverse it aswell? and not show my player bar once in a party?

[@cocomojo-gg]

@@didierchiri4125 No prob! Unfortunately you can't hide your player frame in ElvUI. You can make it transparent, but that also affects your cast bar. I considered swapping to a different addon for my cast bar, but ended up just sticking with ElvUI.

[@tomaszDrums]

Anybody know how can i change size of hots icons?

[@cocomojo-gg]

In the ElvUI config panel, go to UnitFrames -> Group Units -> Party -> Aura Indicator then adjust the size slider/value. You'll likely also need to adjust the positions of the individual hot icons since they're positioned with pixel count offsets. To do this, go to Filters -> Select Filter -> Aura Indicator (Class) -> Select Spell then adjust the x offset for each of the auras as needed. The ones you're likely to need to change are rejuv, regrowth, and lifebloom. The other hot icons may be fine as is. Please let me know if this isn't clear enough; I can upload a short video sometime over the next couple days to demonstrate how to do this.

[@tomaszDrums]

@@cocomojo-gg Thx for quick response :D

[@zewona89]

[@XLyaQcX]

hi, i have a question im using your party frame UI and i like it! 1 question i imported your ui for my Rdruid to see my hots instead of square icon, but for other healer like disc priest or rshaman to see riptide or pw:shield do you know how i can get it instead of the little yellow square etc?

[@cocomojo-gg]

Hey! Yeah, if you go to the ElvUI config panel -> Filters then pick Aura Indicator (Class) under the Select Filter dropdown, you'll be able to find your class' spells under the Select Spells dropdown. For each spell, switch the style to "textured icon" instead of "colored icon". You can also switch up the anchor points and offsets to adjust the positions.

[@joshomalin]

thanks for the guide! just wanted to ask if there's an option for the high priority ability reminder to turn off the sound beeps/alarm?

[@cocomojo-gg]

Np, glad you liked it! Yeah you can disable the sound cues by going into the action tab and unchecking the play sound box. You can either do this for individual sub auras, or on the top level weakaura to disable all of the sounds at once. Enjoy!

[@andy.435]

This looks great for m+ but what do you do in raids? Thanks 🙂

[@cocomojo-gg]

Thanks for the question! I actually don't raid at all due to limited time to play, but when I do causal BGs or LFR I use the default ElvUI raid frame settings. The aura filters settings carry over to raid frames so I can see the different HoT icons, but I don't have any custom settings for other buffs or debuffs on my raid frames. If you have no raid frames set up then this can be a reasonable place to start, but you'll likely want to make some adjustments. Further, if you have any existing raid frames you can disable ElvUI raid frames and continue using what you have, or if you have an existing ElvUI raid frame profile you can copy the settings into the profile we set up in this video (or vice versa).

[@matteoboario193]

Great video congratulations! I tried to import the aura filters but it tells me the files are corrupt what can I do? thank you

[@cocomojo-gg]

Thank you! I just tested and I'm able to import it myself. Make sure you don't get an extra space at the end of the aura filter string; google docs likes to add an extra space at the end when copying, and that will cause elvui to not recognize it as a valid profile string! Here's a link to the doc with the aura filters string: docs.google.com/document/d/1-xves_jKAKuILiHrrNlXii0GR32QSEkpEdX85wNu7wM/edit I also had included a link to a doc containing my omniCD profile string, is it possible you tried to import that instead?

Is there a way to adjust the Hot Icons size themselves? When going into raid they show really tiny.

[@cocomojo-gg]

Yeah! To change them for the raid frames, open the ElvUI config panel and go to UnitFrames -> Group Units -> Raid -> Aura Indicator then you can adjust the size there. You can also click Display Frames in this menu to show a preview of what the frames will look like as you make adjustments. Put a HoT on yourself so you can see what it'll look like on the raid frames, then mess with the size setting until it suits you. Click on the Display Frames button again to hide the preview display.

[@Arceolis]

@@cocomojo-gg sweet. I’m new to using Vuhdo and these Aura are wonderful for Resto Druid which I’m swapping to as my main. One more quick question….well two. Is there a way I can change the background on the frames? As now they are like a faded class color and it throws me off predicting my HoTs. Also I assumed the frames would predict how Much the HoTs would heal but they seem to not be doing that?

[@cocomojo-gg]

Awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying the UI :) You can change the color settings for unit frames in the UnitFrames -> Colors -> Health section. You can adjust the color changes as health goes up or down, disable class coloring, etc. I don't have a ton of experience with these settings (I just use the defaults), but I'd be happy to help you figure out some settings if you have something specific in mind. Healing prediction isn't enabled for raid frames in my profile, only for party frames. You can enable it by going to UnitFrames -> Group Units -> Raid -> Heal Prediction and checking the Enable box. ElvUI heal prediction is okay, it tends to under estimate how much healing a target will receive. I guess this is better than over estimating, but it is rarely correct in my experience.

[@Arceolis]

@@cocomojo-gg ah gotcha. I’ll toy with it and see what I can figure out. Yeah the UI is Nicely done. It generally has what I was about to start building lol. Also I never thought about using Clique and gota say it’s pretty damn nifty. Tbh out of all the healers I’ve played Resto is quickly becoming my favorite (Holy Priest I don’t know if can be beaten though lol).

[@dstain0]

how do you change the hot icon settings? The weakaura I got from the link has the HoT icons on the party frames all wonky

[@cocomojo-gg]

Go to the Filters page of the ElvUI config panel, then select "Aura Indicator (Class)" in the "Select Filter" dropdown. From there, you can select different spells and see/adjust the settings. Can you share more info about what problems you're seeing? Feel free to DM on discord: cocomojo#8004

[@Jat8003]

Thank you for this, been contemplating to switch to new UI for healing for a long time and finally did. However from either the WAs or the ElvUI profile there's a lot of sounds coming, do you know where those are from so that those can be turned off?

[@cocomojo-gg]

Awesome, I'm glad this was helpful! Both the high priority ability and Cd reminder weakauraa have sound cues. To disable all sounds, go into the actions tab for the top level weakaura and check then uncheck the "play sound" box. If you want to disable one of the sound cues (say, just the banana slip sound for missing efflo) then you can do that for the individual sub-weakauras as well. I found that the sound cues help me recognize when one of these spells are missing without needing to visually track them on the screen. There's already a lot of things to look at, and now my brain recognizes the slip or robot blip and automatically casts the right spell. I can definitely see how they can be annoying, though! Let me know if you run into trouble and I can upload a short video showing how to make this adjustment.

Where and how do debuffs appear that we need to dispel? is it on the ElvUi?

[@cocomojo-gg]

The debuffs appear on the right side of the unit frames. We can dispel magic, curses, and poisons, and all of these have different color outlines. Blue is magic, purple is curse, and green is poison. If the outline doesn't have one of these colors then you can't dispel it.

[@andy.435]

I find decursive and it’s mini frames really good for dispels, if you can dispell it you just click the mini frame and it’s done.

[@cocomojo-gg]

Great tip! There are so many great add-ons that exist, and I _highly_ recommend that people experiment with UI adjustments to solve problems in their gameplay. I think UI design is one of the fun parts of WoW so I'm always making changes, but I also understand if folks want an out of the box solution.
