in EQ i make better use of horizontal space by abusing /viewport which is sweet af cuz then i have everything on one side of the screen and view port is up around... for a totally 100% UNIMPEEDED view of the game world <3
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but u have to be able to scan eyes between ur character/feet/and the boss and ur cooldowns in wow so u need ur hotbars with their CD's NEAR where u gotta scan hp/target/castbars, swirlies etc...
some REALLY intelligent ppl get by hiding their hotbars and just usuing WA to track cooldowns but my brain forgets keybinds so i have to sometimes see what i bound my keytoo so may as well just look on the hotbar for CD usage
