FTC vs AUI

Xinz'r

Please give your opinion about your preference between these two similiar Add-ons, and maybe even explain why you chose that one.

FOUNDRY TACTICAL COMBAT VS ADVANCED UI

Groggpuffar

You chose FTC. Why?

Xinz'r

FTC

Simply bcs of nicer UI, but I'm interested in some better answers.

Where is the option for both. AUI for group frames, Azurah for own frames and enemy frames, FTC for dps meter and numbers in combat.

FTC

Never heard of Azurah. Must check it out!

AUI for group frames and regrouper

I prefer LUI Extended over FTC or AUI. I have used all 3. I find that LUI Extended has all the things I really want. (more customization of the units frames, damage meter, info bar, buff tracking, better combat cloud than ftc in my opinion)

LUI is just much more customizeable than FTC.

The ONLY thing I think FTC does better than LUI is the raid / group frames.

and aui for the grp frames

with azurahs to place base elements where i like to have them.

Is ggFrames alive again? All I have seen there is an author taking over and having posted nothing but "I'll get to it" over the past year.

I'm nuts, FTC for the combat meter and results, Healer Group Frames for raid/group frames, AUI for mini-map and quickslots, and LUI for personal/enemy frames, buff tracking, and combat text.

Scyantific

FTC for Attribute Bars, Combat Text, and Damage/Healing Reports, AUI for Group Frames, Quickslots and Minimap, and CLS for combat statistics on the fly.

I just started using it the past couple days, mostly because it was updated sooner, and I like it quite a bit.

I used FTC from launch but gave AUI a try after IC Patch while waiting for FTC to update. I like AUI's integration of a quick slot bar, minimap, and unit frames. One thing I did not like about AUI is how I would constantly get spammed with Crystal Frag procs even though I was not playing a sorcerer. Turned it off for my NB but that meant no more proc messages for abilities Merciless Resolve. I turned it back on when playing my sorc and then it became a problem of not knowing which Crystal Frag proc was mine so I had to disable proc messages except for when I'm soloing.

FTC was updated this weekend so I took a a previous posters suggestion and combined the best features of both FTC and AUI. I have the AUI Combat module disabled. Unfortunately I am no longer getting proc messages like Crystal Frag in FTC like I did prior to IC patch. Next time I play going to completely disable AUI to see if having it active at same time as FTC is creating a conflict with instant/proc scrolling text.

Hi,

Thread moved in Add-Ons & UI Mods section.

Jeckll

FTC

I use the Minimap, Potion Bar and the Group Frames from Advanced UI,
the Unit Frames, Scrolling Combat Text and Damage Meter from FTC.

For Buff Tracking, I prefer Srendarr and Combat Cloud for Combat Announcements.

AkeGamer

AUI

I too moved to LUI during the most recent expac update since FTC wasn't updated for over a week.

So neither.

Bjornensen

FTC

@Kobaal Mhhh.. LUI looks quite good. I need to give it a try. I played with FTC and AUI, and right now i'm using FTC.

Cadelay

AUI

AUI hands down. I uninstalled FTC right after I saw what AUI offered. An instantly beautiful UI that I didn't have to tweak and still be unsatisfied by.

FTC I messed with forever and the buffs were still being cut off and the UI was overlapping my chat box and I couldn't find a way to fix it no matter what I did.

I don't use the minimap in AUI but it gave me everything I wanted and more.

I use both, why was this not an option.

Apokh

AUI

AUI offers the much better package. Also I never understood how ANYONE (installing AddOns) can accept this short tiome buff timer of FTC, which accepts 1 (in words "one") timer. It i simpossible to have 2 taunts up with different timers with that thing. The scrolling combat text is awful at both addons, take LUI ext. instead.

AUI

i use aui... clean & no crash...

timidobserver

AUI

I am a huge fan of the aesthetics of AIU, but sadly it gives me huge FPS drops in PvP, so I have swapped to LUI extended.

LiquidZ

I use both. I use FTC for the health and unit meters and AUI for damage output and input because it is more custom. I also really like the minimap in AUI more than the other minimap addon that's out.

Do you know if LUI Extended will show the health of walls and doors in Cyro like FTC does?

Warraxx

I chose Great Taste over Less Filling.

I can see wall/door health when I target it and I use LUI. Not sure I understand the question.

FTC because that group damage meter is what this game always needed

FTC shows you the health of walls and doors in actual numbers, does LUI do the same?

I know I can see percentages of door and wall health. Didn't realize that was from LUI. I'll try to swap between the two tonight in Cyr so I can see the difference.

Thanks.
