What is easiest/best ui for Mage?
 

Hi,
Thot I posted this yesterday but cant find it so will try again:

Can I get some feedbacK on what is an easily learned UI interface for a Mage that will be usable for other classes? I am new to EQ (relatively speaking, hub has played for years) and the basic ui is not very user friendly. (Too big and not enuff info on exp % and pet, etc.)
I am a little leary about messing in the SOE files, but installing maps went ok. I dont want something I have to patch every time sony does a patch, too because I am not real whiz at computer program fixes.
I am running my game on a Presario AMD athalon 64 512RAM, Win XP pro sp2, Nvidia gforce 4 graphics. I do get a lot of lag in PoK most times and some of the zones if lots of toons on. So I need somthing that wont slow me down any further.
Any ideas and guidance here would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I've had great luck with Quartz, which can be located at http://www2.dragonpro.com/quartz
please note: this is being updated to accomodate the latest patches, and there is a temp fix a few pages down the thread that is located at Quartz info thread
ps - if yer curious, I'm a magician =p

You can also feel freeto look at the UI's ive posted, there is a new one in the pipeline to be approved .. my main is a magician and the toon i use to stress test all my ui's with =) ok so im biased toward magicians .. =) Attaching a screeny of the newest in case your interested.


As for having a ui that doesnt need a patch every time sony patches thats totally dependent on the ui designer and what sony chooses to change. Simple rule is the larger the number of files a UI has the more likely it will need to be patched. Ive seen people tell folks to copy and paste the default ui folder in to a custom folder then change just the windows they want. This only guarantees huge headaches come patch time. You only need the windows you want modified in the folder =). All UI's by nature will need patches eventually. Anything that sony changes to a default window has to be added to the custom window even if the addition is to be hidden.

Thanks!
