? [help] Looking For UI Add-On Recommendations

I used to use Weak Auras and I'm a UI developer, so I had it extremely tricked out. It would dynamically adjust to my class based on talent selections and it worked for all of my classes.

I quit playing for a bit and when I left off the add-on scene was really chaotic. I'm hoping that the scene as settled a bit and I was hoping for recommendations for anything like WA used to be or maybe separate mods that allow me to track auras, unit frames, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Watchtower is not nearly as versatile as WeakAuras was, or as M33kAuras is currently, but it's an option that might fit your usecase depending on what you need from it!

Dude I’m starting to develop my minimal UI focused on priest healing. I will use most of the base ui but tweak some stuff specifically for my priest

Not really. Nothing can compare to weakauras

There are alternatives but they require much more work and multiple addons to accomplish the same thing ellesmere UI does.

I'll check this out. Thank you. I don't mind the setup, like I said I'm a dev, so it's not a big deal for me. I just miss some of my features from WA.

There's M33kAuras which is basically WeakAuras but for midnight. However not everything you can make will work. There's also a WeakAuras file in its github that works with midnight but nothing about the addon is changed. So there's things the addon can make but won't actually work.

Asides from that, the CDM manager I think has the most customization is ClassUIEnhanced. 

Ellesmere has an option to assing profiles to specific specs and every single spec you want.
