Training Wheels

Training WheelsJust as the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. In keeping with this belief, I offer you my version of how I’m adapting to the new hunter mechanics in 4.0.1…

Playing a hunter feels a lot more “frenzied” right now, as far as I’m concerned. Without a predictable resource system, we’re having to constantly make split-second decisions on which abilities to use and when. I imagine in time a natural rhythm will start to develop, but until then, we need to re-learn appropriate usage and prioritization of our abilities.

Since I’m a BM hunter at heart, I’ve elected to set out and make it the first spec I’ve decided to conquer. The following image is a demonstration of what I’ve done to help myself adjust to the new BM priority and hunter resource mechanics.

A few notes on Reflux

Reflux is a pretty neat addon I recently discovered, and one that I chose to include in my UI package. In a nutshell, it provides an easy way to manage user profiles.

I want to go over a few features of the addon, so those of you who haven’t used it before can get an idea of what you can do with it.

After installing my UI package, one of the first things you need to do to get it running after you log in to WoW, is to type: /reflux switch GarUI. What this does, is it tells all of the addons to switch to my profile settings. This is really handy, since before you had to go into each and every addon to configure them accordingly. Reflux does it in one fell swoop. Very convenient I must say.

Now… let’s say you want to put your own personal touches on my UI package. No problem. Here’s what I suggest you do…
