I have built dozens of UIs and learned a lot from these forums but I feel lost - I just cannot get the hang of what kinds of data need great big honkin' weak auras because they are critical, what can be on a simple Bartender Bar with an Omni CC cool down, where should my health go 'cause that seems important
*
So I'd like to build a minimalistic UI from scratch this weekend - what would you tackle first?* Second?* What is critical?* Ideally I'd like a base UI that is 90% reusable for all classes and then I can use Weak Auras to tailor it to different classes.
*
But I do not know where to start.* Health seems important - yet it usually does not seem to be the center of the UIs I see here.* How do you monitor your health when it is down on the bottom?* Cool downs matter - but I have so many especially as a Paladin tank - which are critical for the center and which can be managed, well, elsewhere.
*
You guys inspire me.* I'd love to know your process.* What do you tackle first?* What is critical to see front and center for a tank?* A Mage? Ranged DPS?* What can be hidden?* What can be on the edge of the UI for the rare times you need it?
*
Thanks for your time, design philosophy tips, and help in general.
