the green bar in the center of it all shows what my Target is targeting (in this case Ktani, my pet).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, here&#8217;s a quick (0:17) YouTube video clip showing everything in action:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a0JbCq3eG7c[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>Obviously it takes a bit of getting used to, but I find I much prefer having all the combat info I need all clustered dead-center of the screen instead of having to watch corners. One thing I didn&#8217;t catch in the screenshots are cast bars &#8211; my cast bar is another arc to the left of my mana, my Target&#8217;s cast bar is another arc to the right of his mana.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve mentioned a gajillion times is the Action Bar &#8211; lots of folks ask me &#8220;How can you play with only 12 buttons?&#8221; It&#8217;s easy &#8211; I don&#8217;t.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00\u00a0 I rotate the Action Bar with the mousewheel, there are actually 6 &#8220;pages&#8221; to the bar (so without moving my left hand from the keys, I can access 6 x 12 = 72 buttons).<\/p>\n<p>Someday I&#8217;d like to get my\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.themook.net\/mookui\">full UI page<\/a> updated, but that&#8217;s a lot more work than this post!
