I'm sorry about tiny mic cut-outs. I had used a different noise gate setting for this (extremely long) recording session and have since then removed it - I do think that 99.9% of things can be understood so I didn't want to re-record it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here or on discord!

You haven’t tried Cell I assume

[@MsGraveDiggeRRRR]

Do you find that to be better then Grid2? Why?

[@yetiwow]

I have, Cell is almost identical to Grid 2, a bit newer and better out of the box, but i much prefer the depth and setup of Grid 2, especially considering the indicators aren't done via blacklist/whitelist but by spell ID, which is much better for CPU performance.

[@rebelpoet7587]

@@yetiwow What do you mean exactly? I'm looking at CELL indicators right now and they're input by spell id. What exactly is different?

[@peter9style]

How can i setup cell in a way that it shows the entire bar for atonement?

[@fuba1]

Cell is the way to go now, Grid2 was the choice before (even if). It may sound harsh, but that’s just how it is. Cell includes everything Grid2 had, but it's more advanced while also being easier to configure what makes it more intuitive overall! For example: Where are the key bindings in Grid2? They don’t exist, you need an external AddOn like Clique for that! Let’s be honest… calling a decade old AddOn the best right now isn’t exactly the smartest take. 😉

[@dirteatinggrin]

Cell is not efficient, has input lag over stock and other ui, esp compared to grid2 or elvui, the keybindings are okay, but I prefer Clicked anyway as it's better coding with less bugs and errors, as well Cell is also littered with issues such as stuck debuffs that they still can't figure out how to completely eliminate.

[@fuba1]

​@@dirteatinggrin First, ElvUI is definitely not "efficient", i use it now since 10+ years, and it's VERY resource intensive but I like it anyway! ^^ I use Cell now for about 6 Month and got no Error, no lag Spike or any other Bug, also the CPU Usage is very low compared to the Features it brings. But overall "the BEST" AddOn is very Subjective and for me Grid2 is definitely not the best AddOn, not even close! 🤣

[@samwrai]

cool, cool. but how do I fix the problem when I'm not a healer the entire layout vanishes?

[@fuba1]

​@@samwrai It's not a "problem," it's a matter of settings and the "way more advanced part" I talked about compared to Grid2. I really don't know why this is enabled by default, but it's easy to change... at least for me. 🤣 In Cell Options (/cell opt) go to "About" and then click the "Code Snippets" (Left of the Changelog Button) You can either delete everything in this section and save it, or use: /run CellDB['snippets'][0]=nil ReloadUI() to delete it Alternatively, just disable "f:SetScript("OnEvent", func_ShowHide)" by commenting it out or deleting this line to disable the show/hide function. OR just individually set visibility by changing "showSolo", "showParty", and "showRaid" in the func_ShowHide() function. And you may take a look at this page: "github.com/enderneko/Cell/tree/master/.snippets" Cell can do SO MUCH more, but for that, you might want to read and check out all the "Advanced" guides out there. ^^

[@dirteatinggrin]

@@fuba1 You clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about. Anything using whitelist/blacklist takes far too many cpu cycles. It's easily one of the most cpu intensive things a wow add-on can do. Anyone who thinks elvui is not efficient or fast performing does not know how to set it up correctly and instead uses plugins and features that are not good performers.

[@samwrai]

My Grid2 has no shields options. D:

@@samwrai are you on classic? Classic has no way to track absorbs afaik
