An example of this was having to switch back to Grid partway through a raid because Grid2 wasn't showing stacks of Deep Corruption on heroic Yor'sahjThis is another big one, IMO. Grid2 doesn't have the same user base as Grid meaning that you might come across serious issues. So, while a feature may seem invaluable to you, keep in mind that it isn't invaluable to everyone, and there are millions of players (including some in high-end raiding) who were perfectly capable of playing successfully with the pre-Cataclysm default raid frames. When I played a DPS or tanking role, I did not use a single plugin. In fact, the only plugins I ever used for healing were GridStatusRes (and I am currently working on adding resurrection support to Grid itself, since the WoW game client now provides this information without needing a third-party library to sync res information in the group) and GridStatusHealingReduced (to show when someone had a debuff that reduced the amount of healing they received). Having fewer features in the core avoids these issues, while players who want more features can get exactly the features they want by installing the plugins that provide them.Īlso, personally, I played 40+ hours a week, much of that spent in high-end raid content using Grid, for over 5 years, and there was not a single plugin that I ever felt was mandatory. Having tons of features packed into the core means it's huge, very prone to bugs (since no developer will use all of the features), takes up more system resources, is more complicated to configure, and is more overwhelming to new users. The Grid core addon tries to include only features that are useful for all (or at least most) roles and playstyles.

We never wanted to include every feature everyone could imagine. Grid was written from the very beginning with the idea that most people would use a plugin or two to get the specific features they wanted for their role and playstyle. Grid2 is less reliant on external plugins for what almost became a mandatory requirement for a good setup from it.I'd actually call this a bad thing. I'll add more points if or when they occur to me An example of this was having to switch back to Grid partway through a raid because Grid2 wasn't showing stacks of Deep Corruption on heroic Yor'sahj Grid2 doesn't have the same user base as Grid meaning that you might come across serious issues.

although Grid2 is beta, in normal use it is generally bug and error free and problems get fixed quickly if you want to see mana bars in Grid2, you're stuffed - you can cobble something together but its not very satisfactory and I'm getting by with a sub-50% low mana indicator. Grid has fewer features built-in but there are many plugins available and you're likely to find something that does what you're looking for Some observations I would make (hopefully I'll be corrected if I'm wrong on any of these points): it is more configurable and also relatively easy to configure

it has a test mode so you can see how a full raid will look

it has features such raid debuffs, direction arrows, raid icons, rezzes, roles, aoe healing and probably more that I've forgotten included, unlike Grid it is said to be more efficient in terms of memory and cpu My reasons for wanting to try Grid2 were: I used Grid for several years as a healer and have been using Grid2 for the past 3 months or so.
