This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about settingup a good UI for Mythic+ in Dragonflight. We will go over the most important things for a good Mythic+ UI, and a good philosophy for tackling the unique challenges of Mythic+.

While being a skillful player will help you increase your Mythic+score and climb the ladder, having a great UI specifically designed for5-man content will significantly improve your performance. In this guide, youwill find important information about key elements to look forwhen creating your UI, such as - Party Frames, Add-ons,Weakauras and Macros.

Improving your Party Frames is crucial in Mythic+ as it can greatlyenhance your performance. It alerts you about essential buffs and debuffs andkeeps track of your party's health. Here are my top tips for enhancing them:

• Open the Party Frames settings and tick Use Raid-Style Party Frames.This will ease the ability to track any debuffs or buffs your team isexperiencing without losing focus.
• Next step is crucial, so follow carefully:Press Esc>Options>Interface>Raid Frames>Follow thescreenshot below. The settings you just enabled will give you a better read at your party without losing focus.
• The setting for Frame Width and Height is optional, and we leave it up toyou to choose. However, we have a helpful tip for positioning the party frames.By placing them closer to your Player Frame, you can quickly mouse over them inan emergency and react faster. This is especially useful when you need touse your utility to support your teammates, heal them, or help the team stay alive; regardless of your role in the party, everyone can benefit from these changes.Check out the screenshot below for the best positioning in Mythic+.

I consider Add-ons a must-have regardless of your Mythic+ rating, as they willimprove your in-game performance, increase your game awareness, and make your gameplaymuch more effortless. Below, you can find my top list of Add-ons I can't play without:

Mythic Dungeon Toolsis essential for players of all skill levels. It offers comprehensivedetails about each enemy in the dungeon, including their abilitiesand the count/percentage they contribute to the overall "Enemy Forces."Additionally, it allows you to check the health of both non-boss and bossenemies based on the key level. MDT can also help you plan yourpath before starting a key, giving your party a better understanding of your intentions, which is instrumental in an uncoordinated group (pug).

Plater, is anexceptional nameplate Add-on that can greatly improve your gaming experience.Unlike the standard Blizzard nameplates, Plater offers a variety of customized optionsthat allow you to quickly identify enemies in a dungeon and adjust the size ofnameplates to your liking. Some of the best features of this add-on includecoloring enemy nameplates based on mob type (caster, boss, mini-boss, frontal mob) and adjusting the frame and position of nameplates. Although it may seem complicated,you can easily import settings profiles from Wago.io to find theperfect fit for your needs without having to worry about the options.

At last, I suggest using LittleWigs,a comprehensive dungeon Add-on that gives you vital information about bosses andtrash abilities. This tool allows you to customize the information you receivebased on its importance, and you can also set up various sounds for different abilities.You must install BigWigs to make the add-on work.

If you want to enhance your gaming experience, adding Weakauras to your UI isa must. It simplifies many aspects of the game, from tracking cooldowns andinterrupts to highlighting crucial abilities that can improve your reaction time,rotation, and awareness. This results in a direct increase in performance,especially in Mythic+. To help you get started, I will share with you twoessential Weakauras that I highly recommend:

You can either create the ability Weakauras yourself or import it from Wago.io,depending on the class you're playing. This information canhelp you enhance your rotation and increase your output. It's a convenientreplacement for multiple Action Bars. Take a look at the image below tosee the Weakaura in action (highlighted in red square):

Dungeon Weakauras are designed to assist you in identifying critical abilitiesthat require extra attention, as they can have lethal or extremely dangerousconsequences if not executed correctly. The best part about this tool is that youcan choose which effects to be alerted about, depending on your class progression.For instance, melee classes must be aware of frontals, while ranged classes tendto overlook them. There are various versions of Weakauras available, but the mostpopular one for this season can be accessed through this link.

Macros are commonly used within the World of Warcraft community to helpyou simplify a complex sequence of spells by using a singular buttonfor two or more actions simultaneously. I consider the following macrosessential to have in a premade or pug Mythic+ group:

• /console cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor 2.6

This macro will increase your maximum camera distance — how far you canzoom out from your character — without installing any additional Add-ons.Simply use this Macro, put it on your bars, and zoom out. As for why this abilityis important, it can be beneficial to improve your vision in the areaand avoid pulling additional enemies you may not be aware of otherwise.

• /focus [@mouseover]
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead]{ability}

A Focus-interrupt Macro is essentially the "Holy Grail" of all macrosin Mythic+. I highly recommend using one if you are not alreadydoing so. The first part of the above Macro will set your focus on the enemy youare mousing over — I usually have this action bound to my mouse wheel. Then,the second part of the Macro casts whatever ability you would like on the focusedtarget without actually targeting them. As this Macro is meant to be used forinterrupting, you should substitute "{ability}" with your class-specific-interruptability, such as " Wind Shear".

• /cast [@mouseover, help, nodead]{ability}

Mouseover macros will significantly reduce the reaction time whenusing your offensive or defensive toolkit. It simplifies the procedureby cutting off one extra button to press while having the same effect.

• /cast [@cursor, nodead]{ability}

This Macro allows you to cut a click from your rotation, whichwill speed up and increase your output. An example is, instead ofpressing Earthquake and then using the mouse's left click to direct where it will go.Instead, you can use the Macro, and the Earthquakewill always appear wherever your mouse is. This way, you only have touse the Earthquake keybind rather than the keybind + left mouse click.
