hey guys.  I'm sure like alot of other people I am using the DROX UI.  I know there are 4 different default setups.  I dont feel as i'm using the best possible setup with the keyboard and possible UI changes.  Can some of you post pics of how you have your UI's setup so i can try and make things easier.  With all the reaction stuff we have and finishers i feel i would make doing those moves easier on me.  Thx!

I use Drox myself. Imo there is no real good ui out there right now but Drox is the closest to what I am looking for.

I spent a few to rearrange things and this is what it looks like atm:

I like to have all the ablities together to react fast. First bottom row are the main attacks with buffs right above them. Third are heals and misc (aggro and drunken dodge one), top obviously chains and blocks.

on the left side I have utilitiy stuff (my weapons to switch and other things I need out of combat (horse, food, sprint, recall)).

Chat is split into combat, spam and chat. (and now a log tab for the monkparser).
The colors are a bit too extreme for me - I used ProfitUI in EQ2 and I still would love to have something similar.

Here's the layout I use.  Note that I made the bars on the left hand side count backwards, so that all my most common attacks are in the center of the screen, minimizing the amount of real estate I have to keep in constant view.  Also, the numpad hotkey bar is normally hidden, containing the macros I have assigned to other keyboard spots, with the plain activity icons visible on the horizontal hotkey bars.



This is what I normally see on my screen:

yeah mine is probably a lot different from everyone since i use a g15 primary for the hotkeys.

lets me play with my face rested on my hand and elbow on table while i just push hotkeys with my left hand :p

lazy mode imo.

im not a big fan of using ctrl/alt/shift + buttons feels weird on my hands.
