It was really fun playing around with ElvUI's modern tools and having them function for Classic. I have considered moving my buffs/debuffs to the bottom of the screen above the info panel. . . . thoughts?
It's a good start. Needs some alignment adjustments. Placement of elements within the UI deserves careful consideration, buffs and debuffs is a useful example depending on your role. If you place them too low down then your time spent shifting your line of focus from the centre of the screen to the bottom to look at your buffs and back again detracts from your engagement in the encounter. This is why, I believe, having the buffs and debuffs in the top left of the screen on their own, for example, is so common because it's a clutter free space, thus easy to focus on B&Ds. Sometimes I think of it like driving a car, where are the elements placed that I need to efficiently and safely drive my car? Rear view mirror, wing mirrors, speedometer, rev counter, and so on. Having them (B&Ds) more in a middle alignment is also a favourite as Mr Gobs will attest (see his profiles), ie. above the left or right chat boxes. When I said "role" earlier, I really meant whether or not you play solo or group with others, or raid a lot, rather than if you're a tank, healer or DPS. These are my thoughts anyway, others may agree or disagree. I strictly play solo and like to strive for balance in my UIs. Trouble with playing with your UI is that it's like opening a can of Pringles, once you start you just can't stop! 🧐
