Addon Spotlight: Sage

Unit frames, for the uninitiated, buy wow

goldare those lovely bars down the buy wow

goldleft side of your screen that show the health, buy wow goldmana, buy wow

goldenergy or rage of your party members and pets. buy wow goldThe default Blizzard unit frames are alright. But when I rolled my

restoration shaman a while back, buy wow goldI

went looking for a replacement that would buy wow

goldshow pet health more prominently. buy wow

goldDon't get me wrong, buy wow goldI don't

heal pets by default. buy wow goldThat's the job

of the hunter or warlock. buy wow goldBut if

we're in a boss fight and the tank is buy wow

golddead and the pet has to off-tank, buy wow

goldI'd rather that it's health was buy wow

golda little easier to read on my screen.buy wow

As is my usual custom, cheap wow goldI ran to my

usual add-on site and tried the most popular packages. cheap wow goldThey were simply too much for me. The configuration was just too

much. cheap wow goldI'm a simple kind of guy,

and just looking at the configuration cheap wow

goldscreens made me dizzy. cheap wow goldI

wanted something lightweight and functional.cheap

Then I found Sage. wow goldSage doesn't show the

pretty character portraits, wow goldbut I really

don't miss them that much. wow goldSage displays

the player, wow goldtarget, target of target,

party, wow goldpet, and focus frames. Every one

of them are completely scalable in size, wow

goldindividually and as a whole. wow

goldFocus is a handy little tool that the game supports, wow goldbut (as far as I know) the default UI still does not display. It

allows you to monitor wow goldany player or mobs

health persistently. wow goldSo on those escort

quests, wow goldthe healer could focus the

escort to monitor it's health all the time without having to constantly keep it targeted.

Focus has a bazillion uses really, wow goldand

Sage supports it fully.wow gold

Another thing I like about World of Warcraft

GoldSage is how visible Tuller has made the debuffs. World of Warcraft GoldIt's really easy to see "who gets hit with what" and

identify the "what" quickly. World of Warcraft

GoldThe debuff icons are large, World of

Warcraft Goldand the health bar colour codes to the type of debuff, whether it's

poison, World of Warcraft Golddisease, curse,

etc.World of Warcraft Gold

Sage also supports range checking. World of Warcraft

videoI wish there was a way for it to check line-of-sight too, but this is still a

great function. World of Warcraft video
When you're healing a party and somebody World of

Warcraft videosteps out of your casting range, World of Warcraft videotheir information dims to indicate that you can't

affect them through casting, World of Warcraft

videoso you can either move, World of Warcraft

videoor bitch at them on Vent. World of Warcraft

video(I usually choose the latter.)

Although I would definitely buy wow goldcall

this a minimalist add-on from a graphic point of view, buy wow goldthere are also a number of bar textures to choose from to suit

your personal taste.buy wow gold

I couldn't live without Sage, buy wow goldat

least on my shaman. buy wow goldI really hope it

doesn't break when buy wow goldinto unit frames

in the upcoming patch!buy wow gold
