I don't even use the mouse, I just have my left hand on the movements and my right hand on the skills. Tab for enemies and Shift+Tab to back track to the last enemy. Usually when I'm starting out and not using skills yet, I'll use the mouse to target my enemy and do starting skills. Depends on my mood.

Please, please dont focus on my skillset (I made it for testing out the interface anyway...) and instead talk about my interface (it is my level 15 monk that I am making for now, she doesnt have to be perfect).

I like it because it just makes my life easier mostly. It is a lot easier to pay attention to my health/energy when they are displayed so largely on my screen (vertical bars help a lot too). Since I use numbers for my skills, I lowered the size of my skill bar and placed it in the corner, as a reference. The compass is useful, but not so much that it should take up half of your screen so I sized it down a bit. Your FPS is always nice to know and I put that there too.

I play interrupter a lot and knowing what skills are being cast in BIIIG letters with a long bar helps a lot. I am also interested in my cast times so the bar above the bar that displays what the target is casting (which, at the time, was myself) always shows me how much longer I have to wait to cast another spell.

Also, I get a nice panoramic view too.

Really, mine is made for my own personal needs but is a good interface in general IMO. Much better than the default at least.

This is the normal version default setup:http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/7933/gw0343kx.jpg


But this is what i want it to be like so that the enchanments that i have cast are next to the person that has recieved it so i can tell who's lost the enchatment without reading through the names by holding my mouse over the picture.

Is this possible?: http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/5...034edit2wp.jpg

Question:
when you hover over a skill, it gives a pop up with skilldescription. Is it possible to turn this off? I'm afraid not, but it can be annoying because it can overlap other parts (statusbar) of my interface which I rather keep at the same place.

Currently...No...which is why I put my health and energy below the skill bar. See page 9 for my setup.

Ok. Maybe yall can help me out. My dilemna is simple. I like to see as much as the environment as possible (have the least amount of windows blocking the playing field), yet at the same time i like to easily/readily see my skills, stats, enemy stats and skills, party, map and all the essentials...

I have been changing my HuD setup nearly every week, but still cant get a comfortable setup. Has anyone found a good balance? So far, the screenies posted here seem to focus on function only, rather than the balance of function and visability (aka "form and function").

If anyone else has been seeking this "balance" and has found their happy medium, then PLEASE post a screeny, i just cant find it! BTW, i am a 75% PvE and 25% PvP player, if that helps at all...

THANKSSSsssss

Some interesting ideas but few I could get confortable with.

This is my current setup, it helps me to keep an eye on enchantments and hexes (which is good for PvP), and frees up a little bit of the top of the screen.

I've gotten used to enchantments appearing from right to left suprisingly fast.

- To make space for enchantments, upkeep are kept in the same place, but with two rows, so the box is higher, and less wide (in case you're running more then 4 enchantments you'd see 2 rows of 4)

- Next to upkeep is enchantments, appearing from right to left, I think it would show as 2 rows of 5/6 when full.

- Radar is always reduced a little in my setup

- The experience bar is simply hidden, when I hit level 20.

The next improvement would be to take the target bar (enemy health) at the bottom, maybe like in one of Ractoh's videos.

PS: I KNOW I DONT HAVE A RES SIG, I ALWAYS TELL MY GROUP WHEN I HAVENT BROUGHT IT, PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC.

Well since there is a feature to set up your HUD how you wish it to be displayed I figured why not see what others have done.

EDIT: Here is my Layout, im not sure if Im going to keep it tho as it obstructs my view near the top of the screen. Who knows tho. Any ways this is a new character if your wondering why it sucks =p.

That would be me after ALMOST soloing the entire GoK mission. With a bit of effort, I'll do it next time. I quite like my HUD. It works well with the party window, (when there is a party ) for healing and such...
Edit : the bloody filter even filters web addresses for christ's sake!

I stole my HUD from Specious .
It keeps my vision in the centre of the screen, so I don't focus on one particular spot, so it reminds me to keep track of enemy warriors and damage.
You can't see it, but the effects bar is below the skillbar, and the maintained enchants bar is parallel to the right of the skillbar. So between the party window and the skillbar, above the health bar.

I prefer simple and uncluttered. For a Monk, skills next to party members is nice, too.

Here is my interface. I am surprised nobody has tried anything similar. As you can see I have widescreen (1920x1200) but this should work with even lower resolutions. In this case, I can see everything just by looking at the bottom center of the screen.

I don't just like your UI I like the what you gat fro armor and how it is organized in your inventory that goes the same with Ray but nice set ups though.I like mine more like a heads up display in fighter jet.

Tremble before the might of my semi-default interface! Not much is moved, really, except weapon slots and the trade button. Party window stretched to fill the bottom.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/rhunex/gw001.jpg

I have henchies with me to show what it looks from my point of view most of the time. And the staff in my inv is The Yakslapper(I point this out because it is easily my most favoritest weapon in teh game! The name raWks. Capitol W.)

I dont care if you steal my fire build, it's just for ettin farming, and it's pretty weak.

I usually keep up the party screen at all times, while letting myself see all the names(not including allies, I don't care about them). And I like to have a lot of space for my map, because I got fuzzy hunting all the time. Other things you might notice is my 1337 pink suit of armor, it's 60Ar, and infused, with the right runes in all the right places. It's my fav set of armor, 15k stuffs cool but gotta love the pink
