It seems that mendax.wow survived World of Warcraft’s (WoWs) 2.4 patch without any difficulties, thanks to the appropriate Ace updaters and the respective addon developer’s full preparedness for the patch release. Fortunately, patch 2.4 didn’t break any of the addons included with mendax.wow, so this update brings changes to the compilation not patch related.
Firstly, TinyTip was giving us a couple issues even before patch 2.4, namely in regards to the configuration window. In short, trying to configure the addon kept throwing an error, and though out-of-box TinyTip is already a good-looking tooltip replacement, we decided to ditch it for CowTip, which includes some nice features like showing the talents of individuals using certain addons. CowTip is configurable to show a whole slew of character information, and also happens to be built on the Ace architecture, so it’s as easy to update as all of mendax.wow’s other addons.
Secondly, we decided to finally drop Decursive, which has been part of mendax.wow for quite a long time? This decision was mainly founded on our approval of Grid, a “raid” unit addon that can be configured to display dispellable debuffs in addition to the basic health display of party/raid members. We initially tried Grid to replace the clunky raid unit frames that most people end up with when they join a raid, and we quickly fell in love with Grid’s small real estate use. Better yet, it’s great for all classes, not just healers.
With addons like Clique still part of mendax.wow, it makes little sense to include Decursive which clutters the screen and offers marginal benefits over Clique and a good-looking unit frame addon. For those who like the larger unit frames offered by Ag UnitFrames, the latter is still part of the mendax.wow compilation, so there’s no need to fret just yet.
For those that are considering a new addon compilation and haven’t given mendax.wow a look, don’t hesitate to check it out.
