AddOns in Review: Introducing Damage Meters Benchmarking Series
We all know the stereotypes, but how much of it is true? While patch 2.4 should bring a lot of goodness for all damage recorders, I started wondering just how accurate in-game damage meters are, in the current state.
Addons in Review: AuraToChat
Remember that small but nifty AddOn ErrorMonster, which would redirect UI error messages like “spell not ready” and such to whatever frame you wanted it to?
Well, from the very same author, Rabbit, comes another little but oh-so-handy AddOn of a similar purpose, AuraToChat. Its function is summed up in its name: It allows you to [...]
Addons in Review: BuffProtectorGnome
As the name may suggest, we’re again reviewing yet another one of Rabbit’s small but invaluable Addons, BuffProtectorGnome.
As the author himself describes it, have you ever right-clicked on the wrong buff and realized, too late, that you just wasted a flask or elixir with 58 minutes left?
Well, Rabbit has, and I have, and I suspect [...]
Addons in Review: ErrorMonster’s Little Helping Hand
From the author of ClosetGnome one will find three little Addons which are among the most simple things, and with all simple things, it took a smart person to think about making them. Today we will have a quick look at ErrorMonster (Rabbit, the author, appears to have a little fondness for familiar critters).
As I [...]
Addons in Review: ClosetGnome and ClosetGnome Banker
ClosetGnome is a gear-swapper addon, a descendant of the venerable ItemRack and its consort. Some classes have little to no use for such tools, but those among us who have to juggle with 3 or 4 gear sets to accomplish anything in this game will find this extremely useful.
ClosetGnome is an Ace2-based add-on written by [...]
AddOns in Review: CowTip 2.0 (and DogTag)
This time we’re reviewing an add-on which isn’t really critical in most of the common sense of the word - Tooltip modifiers are mainly fit into a category of little tools which improve both visual aspects of the game and are meant to provide you a supplemental layer than what comes out of the box.
Drama in Aceland - the post I won’t write
Following the changes brought by patch 2.2 I’ve had to spend some time on the wowace forums, to understand what had changed and why it did. And let me tell you, there’s enough underlying drama in there for the time being to give AFK Gamer stuff to write about.
After reading thread after thread in there, [...]
Combat-Text Addon Review: Parrot, long overdue
[...]Just details, but it irked me enough to give the third addon, Parrot, a look.
And I loved it.[...]
AddOns and 2.2
As you will have noticed by the lack of post, I was out of town for about two weeks. Came back to patch 2.2, ran WUU… and a ton of stuff isn’t working anymore. Mostly FuBar, Cartographer and Pitbull.
Seems like the Ace2 community had some kind of fallout or something about Ace’s future, so the [...]
Leveraging Mouseover (Hover-) Casting
Several of my macros, in particular healing, cleansing and taunting, include the conditional [target=mouseover].
Provided you did bind the macros containing it to a hotkey, you can now do so-called hover-casting - basically just move your mouse pointer so it hovers above whoever you want to use the macro on and hit the shortcut key. To [...]
