Addons: What you need to know.

[Leana Anita]

Save the file to your desktop/temp folder, and then extract it straight to your addons folder. WoW could be trying to load the compressed folder instead of the uncompressed version because they have the same name.

If you're machine is only at the minimum requirements I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend the usage of X-Pearl and Titan at the same time.

Yes, the work with each other, but if you think Shatt City is shitty slow; just wait till you try running both at the same time. I think that's what contributed to my latest computer crash. xd I liked the 3D portrait options, as well as the percentage options given by X-Pearl, and am yet to find another addon that will give me percentages. sad

perl classic or whatever.

it's perl without the 3D and the memory overload.

Pitbull is better.

Keep a watch out for Third Party Programs on some AddOns. They more-than-likely have a keylogger in it.

My brother has an account and I have an account, we were on the same internet connection, so when we both used the AddOn... Our account was hacked and all Lvl40+ Chars had no gear/money/items/etc. My brother got his gear back at least 1-2 months after he reported it in. I never got my stuff back, so I had to quest in Outlands for my stuff the hard-way with Deadmines Gear at Lvl61...

This was in November 2007.

Addons To Avoid

Decursive - Probably one of the best raiding mods there used to be, but now Blizzard is doing everything they can to break this. I would just not use it, and not get used to it, because if you do get used to it, you'll be kinda ******** when Blizzard breaks it.

Decursive has been fixed up and works pretty nicely now. Ace has taken it over.  

[The Mule Of Max]

I SHOULD PROBABLY UPDATE THIS.

oooh yay i love addons. razz



TooManyAddons - This is BY FAR my favorite and most useful addon to date. If you're like me and like to play with new and different addons but don't like having to logout and disable/enable addons and then log back in. its time consuming and annoying. TooManyAddons completely eliminates that. it lets you disable and enable addons directly from your game. You just reload when you're done selecting which addons you want on or off. Secondly it allows you to make profiles. So if you have certain raiding,pvp, arena, or whatever you can set up profiles so its just 1 click to switch out. Its an AMAZING addon. Definitely A Must Have.

Quartz -A very clean, effective and nice looking casting bar addon(with swing timer!)

TipTac Makes your tooltip smaller, customizable and allows you to move it.

Clique The only addon i use in regards to healing. I swear by this addon. all it does is allow you to bind your heals to a mouse button instead. it also lets you set up profiles for spec's and will automatically change when you switch spec's. Its really good for PVP. it is essentially what blizzard tried to do with the wow mouse. very configurable. Great. My second favorite (or tied for first) addon.

!BugGrabber - Addon that grabs all LUA errors and doesn't display them on your screen. You can also get bugsack (which i also have) to review the errors later. I find this addon useful if you have a lot of addons that don't play nice with each other.

ExtendedQuestFrame - Self explained i would think. razz

Power Auras Classic - Possibly my third favorite addon. It puts an icon on your screen when a spell is available, when you lose a buff, when you get a debuff on you, you can have it do whatever you want. I only use it for a few things. I have it put a GIANT exclamation point on my screen when I don't have innerfire on. (i'm never without innerfire now.) I also used to have it alert me when I would get an instant cast flash heal, it also tells me when i have inspiration buff. It doesn'tsound very impressive but its very helpful.

MikScrollingBattleText - Similar to SCT. I haven't decided which one I like more however I am using MSBT at the moment so thats why I am linking it.

IceHUD - A hud. similar to archud. Cleaner, smaller and more customizable in my opinion.

Prat 3.0 -Chat box addon. Cleans up your chat box. I prefer this to ChatMod or whatever it is called.

Bagnon - Similar to Onebag But after using both I prefer Bagnon. Shows all your bags and bank bags as one bag. Looks good. Search function. You can look at other toons bags from your main toon.


AG_UnitframesSimilar to PitBull (which I also LOVE but I got lazy) but easier to customize.


AspectedAgain-An extremely useful hunter aspects/pet/tracking helper. biggrin


Bartender 4 - An Actionbar mod. Just like any other. I prefer bartender to everything UNLESS i am dealing with a class with stance changes. I.E. druids, Rogues, Warriors. In which case I prefer Dominos.

DominisAn Actionbar Addon. I prefer this addon for classes with stance changes because its a lot easier to set up the bar swapping. At least in my opinion. I couldn't figure out how to do it on my rogue, and then I had someone walk me through on my lockthat i'm leveling demo spec. So i needed it for metamophosis.

OmniCCA cooldown counter. puts bright and large text on your spell to tell you how long you have until you can recast it. I.E. 2m for two minutes. 38 for 38 seconds. font turns red when almost ready for use. I also suggest using OmniCC shine (ontop of the cooldown counter the action SHINES when ready)


Dr. Damage an Essential addon for those that theorycraft, and even those who don't. this addon puts the average healing or damage a spell does right on the spell. You know how ah ealing spell will say "heals a target for 400-600 damage" but doesn't take into account buffs, gear, stats etc? Dr. Damage shows what you would heal for taking into account active buffs, flasks, gear and enchants. Upon hovering over said spell it gives you more detailed Info including casts until OOM, casts with regen, avg crit, proc's per minute, pretty much everything you need. Its amazing. smile


healOrganizer -If you're a healing officer like I am, or a consistant healing raider and give out healing assignments often this addon makes it a LOT easier to give healing assignments in a specific channel and you can have it so if someone doesn't know their assignment they can message you with "heal" and it will auto respond their assignment to them. Very handy, time saving and efficient.


Outfitteran outfitting mod. Just like what blizzard implemented but i've been using this from before this was added to the game, and frankly i prefer this addon to the game version. I just think this is easier to set up and use over the blizzard one.


Rating Buster - A mod that compares stats when you shift click an item to whatever is currently equipped. a FANTASTIC mod. I highly recommend this mod. It also shows Item level which is a benefit for fights such as Flame Leviathan where your vehicle scales with I-Level.


Satrina Buff Frames an Alternate buff addon. More aesthetic to the default blizzard buff frames and WAY nicer than Elkano's BuffBars which i always hated. >.>



SexyMap A very nice minimap addon thats easy on the eyes. smile



WIMWIM: WoW Instant Messenger. Just what it says it is. AIM for wow. razz

Gatherer - Gatherer is an addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in World of Warcraft. It's main purpose is to track the closest plants, deposits and treasure locations on your minimap. The addon does not track like a tracking ability does, rather it "remembers" where you have found various items in the past. It does this whenever you gather (perform herbalism, mining or opening) on an item, and records the specific map location in its history. From then on, whenever the item comes into range of being one of the closest 1-25 (configurable) items to your present location, it will pop up on you minimap.

Altoholic - For all the info you could possibly want/need on your alts. One of my favourite addons.

-Characters' talents, Money, /played, rest xp for each character, subtotals by realm, and grandtotals for the account.
-Bag usage -Characters' skills -Reputations - View containers (bags, bank, keyring) of all alts, on all realms. - Guild banks - E-mail - Equipment - Search - Quest Log - Suggestions: Currently, only profession leveling suggestions are available when mousing over your current level in a specific profession. Suggestions are based on the leveling guides posted on the official US forums (credit goes to their respective authors). The addon also suggests you where to quest/grind xp depending on your character level.
- Auction house - Professions: You can browse all known recipes in a thotbot like frame - Mounts & Pets - Achievements - Guild Members: a list of your connected guildmates, along with their alts (if they're using Altoholic too), and their average item level. Clicking their AiL will also allow you to "remotely" inspect their equipment.
- Guild Skills: a list of altoholic users in your guild, along with their alts and direct profession links. All professions are available in one click.
- Guild Bank tabs: a list of altoholic users and the time at which they last visited the guild bank. If you haven't visited the guild bank for a few days, you can remotely update your local data without going to a capital city.

nUI - After messing around with custom ui's building my own and tryign others I settled on this one. It's got everything I need, but is far from minimalistic. It's not for everyone, but it is worth a try. It is 100% standalone code designed to feel like Bliz meant the UI to look this way. nUI removes a ton of clutter from the display, provides detailed targeting information, an integrated HUD, cooldowns and more all in one tightly integrated single-source addon that requires no user configuration.
