However, until that happens, I kept thinking there must be something that I could do to help without paying for anything. 3-5 FPS with every setting as low as possible, just did not seem right to me at all.
I deleted my WTF/Interface folder and started completely new, however I am using almost all of the same addons, with a couple more actually. I also uninstalled AVG Free, which I could never figure out how to completely disable during raids. Because of this, my FPS in 25 mans has jumped to 20 during boss fights, and raiding is now a lot more fun, getting to experience the fight without a choppy screen is like a whole new instance, can anyone say Hodir?
I'm not completely sure who I can credit the improved performance to, new interface, or deleting AVG Free, but whatever it was, im glad!
My new interface:
New UI - make sure you view it at full scale, and not minimized.
Addons I use:
1. ForteXorcist - Those are all the bars you see above my unit frames, keeps track of everything I need, I will never raid without it from now on if possible. Not usually that many bars at a time, that was the test mode. When something finishes, it fades in a smooth way, looks awesome.
2. Pitbull - Unit Frames, highly customizable, but a lot of configuring to do.
3. Bartender - Action Bars, in my opinion, Bartender > Dominos by a mile.
4. Skada - Damage/Threat meter - Completely modular, so it doesnt eat up memory, I only have the damage and threat enabled, however, healers can have healing...tanks damage taken...etc - Way more accurate than recount, and is a lot less memory intensive.
5. SexyMap - Minimap - The addon buttons are hidden unless i move my cursor to the minimap, doesn't look all cluttered, and the skin (which sexymap has a lot) looks awesome.
6. Chatter - Just an overall chat mod, makes the chat box way better.
7. Quartz - Casting Bars...customizable to look clean and smooth, like my Unit frames, I like them short and wide..makes it look better in my opinion.
8. DBM - Raid Warnings/Announcements for Boss fights...a must have for any LoK raider imo.
9. OmniCC - adds the number of seconds/minutes left until you can use the ability, to the ability, on your action bar. Heavily useful.
My rune bar is off to the side on top of my minimap. I just hate the way Blizzard's look, but at the same time I don't need it. Included with ForteXorcist, is the bar you see right above my unit frames, the one with the hearthstone and horn of winter icon...that tracks my cooldowns, as well as when my runes come off cooldown. I also don't use any runic power addons.
Just thought i'd share with you
