Hello,

At first I was not excited about this forum, thinking it was elitist, but my opinion has changed. Thanks to all the top-notch pvp'ers for sharing their opinions so constructively. This site is now bookmarked!

I was curious to get a list of recommended mods and macros for arena that either enable strategies better or generally improve performance.

IMO, the best mod site by far is http://www.wowace.com
A direct link to all the mods can be found at http://files.wowace.com

I use ace mods almost exclusively and as a result I can use the ace auto-updater to keep almost all of my mods up to date. The auto updater can be found here:

Here is a screenshot of my UI. Since this screenshot I have picked up a new mod called Aloft from www.wowace.com

Qor your screenshot isn't working.

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1202/zestersuiii2.jpg is my current UI. I don't really use anything special.

As far as arena specific addons go, I like Arena Unit Frames better than the other options.

Macros? You're better off checking your class forum for good pvp macros. I will say this though: focus is your friend

11k gold? You're a disgrace to PvPers!

DHUD <3. I should probably get a hud more geared towards casters - but I played a rogue for 2 years and got very attached to DHUD.

Qor explain something to me though. Why the ginormous buttons (aka your trinkets...and even your belt/food/stones to a point)? I've seen it on other UIs and it makes me curious. Is it so it's easier to click?

And is that NECB watching your cooldowns/stuns?

selling arena teams = rain of gold.

BTW: how does that arenamasterlike addon called? I would probably delete arenamaster and use that instead.

NECB is in the lower left hand corner, and I have it set to the default settings (I think...). I use it to watch any timer that it is not covered by ElkBuffBar (http://files.wowace.com/ElkBuffBar/ElkBuffBar-r26541.zip) or Classtimer (http://files.wowace.com/ClassTimer/ClassTimer-r46352.zip).

ElkBuffBar is for personal buffs and is displayed in the upper-left corner. Classtimer is displayed below my HUD (buffs - AR/BF/SnD) and also to the left of my character (debuffs - Kidneyshot).

My buttons are so big because I still click my PvP trinket, Nigh belt, Healthstone, Food, Bandages. I know...I REALLY need to break those habits. In fact, I should really redo all my keybinds ;/

Proximo is the new "best" one. Gladiator is the one he's using; it's alright.

I haven't actually made any money selling arena teams. I made a majority of that gold by controlling certain portions of the gem & enchanting mats market. Also, prospecting is fairly easy gold if you buy up cheap ore during the week, cut gems, sell gems on weekends/Monday evenings.

The addons used for highlighting/selecting oppoents is called Gladiator (http://files.wowace.com/Gladiator/Gladiator-r46317.2.zip). It works in conjunction with a mod named Tattle (http://files.wowace.com/Tattle/Tattle-r46127.zip) which has the capability of storing and displaying opponent spec information.

Hopefully, we will be running a tattle server on arenajunkies.com in the near future.

How would you compare Proximo to Arena Unit Frames? Proximo definitely looks promising but I don't know if I'm ready to give up AUF for it.
