Over time, however, Quartz has grown a bit large and in charge. Modular addons are good - we like modular.ĪddOn Spotlight has already discussed Quartz back in 2008, so I won't go into too much detail, as the main gist of the addon has not changed. Cutting down on the number of modules means you have the ability to control the CPU usage of the module and eliminate the pieces of the addon you do not need. The king is Quartz, a modular approach to cast bars, similar to the approach of Skada, letting the player choose the particular modules loaded by the addon. When you talk about cast bar addons, there is a clear King of Cast Bars. Today, we talk about the king of cast bars, an alternative to the king (The Queen? Rival Nation of Castbaria?), a quick discussion about DoT timers and some reader mail.
Something changed, though, and I suddenly realized I wanted a more full featured cast bar. For a while, I let my cast bar live in my unit frames, below my health and mana, as a compact little meter that was happily minimal and out of the way. We will never really know why the cast bar was the last bastion of the WoW stock user interface for me, most likely because I was a healer, but eventually the tide turned. The cast bar addon/mod holds a special place in my heart, mostly because it was the last addon I got on board with. Everything from bags to bars, buttons to DPS meters and beyond - your AddOns folder will never be the same! This week, can we dethrone Quartz as king of cast bars? AddOn Spotlight focuses on the backbone of the WoW gameplay experience - the user interface.
