Well guys, I've decided to try my hand at keeping a blog again, but hopefully this one will actually stick since it's about something I tend to obsess a lot about: my UI in World of Warcraft. Contrary to what the name of this blog is, I am probably going to feature more than three UIs. That is, if I actually stick around long enough to do so. :D But first... an introduction.
My name is Caelys. I play a holy paladin on Stormscale-US. I've been playing World of Warcraft since February of 2005, shortly after it was released. I originally started playing as a warlock and I didn't know what addons were at the time, it was a time of blissful ignorance. I never got to raid much in Vanilla, but I really strove to. It was something I always wanted to do. At some point I made a priest and realized that I loved healing. Loved it. When Burning Crusade hit, I rolled a blood elf paladin (like every other horde player out there) intending to tank with her. She got shelved around 48 while I continued to play my priest as my main. It wasn't until about a year and a half before Wrath of the Lich King hit that I realize just how terrible I was at priest healing. I looked at my paladin, sitting there, gathering dust... and looked at the holy paladins I raided with and decided I wanted to try it. So I did one of the dumbest things I could have done.. I leveled her from 48-70 as holy. I hit like a wet noodle. I wore cloth because healing plate in Vanilla content? LOL. Not happening. But I fell in love with healing on my paladin. So much so that I leveled her in Northrend again as holy. Caelys has been my main now for at least 2-3 years, and as much as I debating switching to my hunter, or my shaman (also a healer)... I always come back to her.
It was in BC that I started playing with addons. I dipped my toes in the water, so-to-speak, and started liking what I could do. I could move things around! I could change heights and widths and scales! Oh my! So I toyed with my UI, and I toyed with it, and tweaked it, and deleted my WTF folder and started all over again more times than I can count. It has gotten to the point now that when I redo my UI (which is either a complete overhaul or some minor tweaking), sometimes I end up redoing it again a few hours later.
So what's the point of this blog? I wanted to make this to review popular addons, new addons, and to showcase some addons I use that may not be quite as well known as the rest. I'll also respond to any questions readers might have about specific addons, or my UI in particular (which I will try to post all its incarnates when I redo it). So, to kick things off, a screenshot of my current UI.

The first addon I plan to review in my next post is going to be Power Auras! Hopefully I'll get around to doing it this week. :D
First!
