Heya,

Is there some sorth of lightweight buffhead replacement?
Mine keeps turning yellow and causing lag...
It would be amazing to have a lightweight addon like buffhead with a simple and effective goal of just showing the buffs/debuffs you want it to show without all the resource hogging.
Replacement for enemy would be great aswell.

It's the first thing I turn off. Would love a lighter version.

Buffhead is one of the addon you need to work on to get results. Default is terrible. Good starting point is to utilise profiled Buffhead from VinyUI. Guy did a excellent job tweaking addon for archetype to not get overwhelmed with unwanted effects showed.

There a sticky thread above this one called "Buffhead building a list" that is a good starting point

I know of all those and i know how to add buffs/debuffs to buffhead.
To me it still feels like the addon is a big hog on the client's performance.
I wanted to test the waters, maybe there is a replacement or someone could see a opportunity perhaps to create a replacement for it as together with enemy they feel as if they slow down the games performance big time.

Not 100% sure but i know those 2 are 2 of the more performance cripling addons and it seems everytime i start to lagg hard and open addon list buffhead turned yellow.
The game also feels allot more smooth with enemy and buffhead disabled.
But ofc thats not sustainable cuz both are mandatory if you want to have a certain awareness.
