Welcome to Skill Capped's Guide on Setting Up The Best WoW PvP Addons Using Skill Capped UI. This PvP addon will be your cheat code for optimizing your gameplay in WoW Midnight. Throughout this guide, we will provide you a step by step process of how to install our premium PvP UI, and a brief description of Skill Capped's customized profiles for each addon.

Introduction

So, what is the Skill-Capped UI addon and the benefit of installing it? Skill Capped has created a custom pre-built UI, allowing an easier visualization to what is occurring in any PvP scenario. Our addon will automatically configure the profiles of other popular PvP addons, removing the hassle of setting up your UI on multiple characters.

These customized addons will optimize your performance in PvP. If you don't prefer a certain addon included in our package, you have the option when opening your World of Warcraft client to remove any addons you choose. If you want to add extra features onto our UI addon, we have premium, exclusive addons that can be obtained when becoming a premium Skill Capped subscriber.

In order to understand what makes this so essential to use for all PvPers, we will go over a brief overview of the addons that are equipped with our UI package.

Core Addon Profiles

These are the essential addons that come pre-configured with Skill Capped UI. Each one has been carefully tuned for optimal PvP performance.

Our BetterBlizzPlates profile gives you a familiar feel for PvP nameplates.

Download: BetterBlizzPlates on CurseForge

This includes DoT effects, slows, and maintenance debuffs on the top of enemy nameplates, and any applied Crowd Control directly on the right side of enemy nameplates. Having these categories separated makes it easy to distinguish information. There is also a white border that is featured when targeting a player, making it easier to visualize what target you are currently on without having to look at your target player frame.

BetterBlizzPlates nameplate configuration

Friendly target icons are above friendly nameplates. This makes it easy to know where your teammate is, and is especially beneficial for Healers. There is a combo point indicator underneath your enemy target, allowing you to see how many current combo points you have available. This profile also has the numbers 1, 2, and 3 above their nameplate, helping you know what enemy player will be affected by your arena 1, arena 2, and arena 3 macros.

BetterBlizzFrames helps reduce visual clutter, and allows for more visual customization of unit frames.

It even features some quality of life improvements, such as a combat indicator notifying when Rogues can Sap, and when Healers can drink.

This addon is the new standard for arena frames in Midnight.

Our profile has diminishing return categories visible to the left of Health Bars, and the cast bar margin has been increased. This makes it easier to notice casted spells at a quick glance. The position of our dispel and racial icons have also been rearranged so these do not overlap.

This has replaced several addons at once, including BigDebuffs, OmniBar, and even WeakAuras.

Download: MiniCC on CurseForge

MiniCC cooldown tracking and alerts in arena

MiniCC includes buff and debuff clarity, cooldown tracking, and even alerts for key events like enemy offensive CDs and a notification when your healer is in crowd control.

All-In-One Replacement

MiniCC consolidates what used to require BigDebuffs, OmniBar, and WeakAuras into a single lightweight addon. This means less configuration and fewer potential addon conflicts.

Having FrameSort automatically places your character at the bottom of your raid frames.

Download: FrameSort on CurseForge

This makes it easier to visually determine the number of your party member, and is specifically helpful when using your party1 and party2 macros.

Premium Addon Profiles

If you want to add extra features onto our UI addon, these premium, exclusive addons can be obtained when becoming a premium Skill Capped subscriber.

ArcUI is a premium addon profile available exclusively to Skill Capped members.

Battleground Addon Profiles

These addons are exclusively helpful when playing in either Random or Rated Battlegrounds.

This will help you to target enemy players anywhere on the map in any battleground. Think of it as the "sArena" for battleground content.

Download: BattleGroundEnemies Fixed on CurseForge

We recommend moving it to the same location as your arena frames for consistency.

Edit Mode & CVar Settings

Another important feature that makes sure everything is neatly packaged together on your screen is with Edit Mode. This makes sure our important UI elements are positioned in the center of our screen. This includes having our raid frames and focus frame to be at the same peripheral distance of your gladius.

CVar Settings

Our addon also configures hidden settings that optimize your PvP experience:

SettingWhat It Does
Spell Queue WindowSet to your current Latency + 100. This adjusts the window of your next predicted spell cast.
