Mage in 4K
Mage in 4K
So here's the deal, many know by now (from IRC) that I'm kinda... inactive.
Here it's February already and I'm still level 94. Well, I have a shiny new laptop which is so exciting (See it and read my review here).
Anyway, slight problem. I don't think the world is ready for 4K yet. Elvui and Tukui do support it, technically, but they look weird and much of the UI would be unreadable (it's 3840x2160 pixels lol). So, I'm looking for someone else who plays WoW in 4K. What do you do? Sure, I could drop down to 1080p, but I don't want to. I have 4K and a beast of a machine that maintains FPS. So I want to set myself up for a good 4K return to being a mage.
Help me out, 4K mages, if you're out there...

Re: Mage in 4K
I don't play in 4K but it's perfectly possible to build a good UI with other addons outside of Elv/TukkUI.
Chuck me a PM and I can give you a list of addons which, if you spend some time fiddling with, will give you a better, more complete UI than Elv/Tukk.

Re: Mage in 4K
Can we get some 4K images for a rough idea what it looks like?
Re: Mage in 4K
There's no site I can find that'll handle a 4k upload without resizing or rejecting it haha.
I had some reasonable success importing my old masque/aurora based UI, and scaling up bartender. TMW works well in 4K too so that's good.
My only remaining challenge really are some easy-to-configure unitframes. I can't use default, don't care what people say that's horrible-- I need HP/mana to be clearly visible, mine, targets, ToTs. So just a helpful starting point for unitframes would probably be all I need to get this functional.

Try http://www.dropbox.com" target="_blank, they allow any file size / type.
For unitframes, I use Shadowed Unit Frames, and see no reason, why you should not be able to scale them as you see fit. They are low maintenance.

Re: Mage in 4K
vuhdo should scale in 4k. However it has a terrible UI, so some figuring out might be needed.

Re: Mage in 4K
It makes no Sense blaming Addons for this. Thats normal UI Scaling. U should play around with that Setting until u get a Proper 1:1 Pixel Setting for your Display.
15,6 Inch Display and 4k ? Wow why da Hell did you buy this ? 15,6 Inch is even to Small to give u some readable Fonts in Full HD. So it seems u have to lower your Resolution, try to use Sweetfx and Sharpen Filter or just Scale your Interface until ist readable.
Otherwise - buy 1 normal Full HD Monitor starting at 24 Inches - and you are good to go.
Short: U won´t get any readable setting done with your 15,6 inch display and 4k. This Combination just makes no sense.
