WoW addons

[dakeyras]

I have heard from a few players that to unlock the true potential of WoW you need to get hold of 3'rd party addons. I am hesitant to blindly download them because you never that they dont have spyware.

Can anyone list some of the Addons that they use and where to get them? Would appreciate it.

Ok, I checked out that site. For someone who only now started play WoW its impossible to even guess what would be helpful. Thanks anyway

List of Must have AddOns:

Auctioneer - Allows u to scan the AuctionHouse and it builds up a database of prices which lets u find the average and sell it for that... really helpful.

CTRA - More for high levels, helps u in Raid Groups and such... VERY powerful Addon which is required for most PVE guilds.

Atlas + AtlasLootEnhanced - Gives u maps and potential loot from bosses of all instances in the game. (Dungeon and Raid)

Titan Panel - Adds a panel to teh top and bottom of your page which shows a bunch of info such as, Performance, Bag Space, Regen Times, CoOrdinates, Latency, Money Fluctuations, Time to Ding (level)... and the list goes on.

These are a few of the must haves! Go check em out^^

Oh and to install them u must extract em to your

World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\

Folder

Quest level: lets u know the level of the quests u attempt to do
Titan Panel: handy info like durability, location, xp/hour, combat stats(dps) etc...
dont get too many addons because u become dependant on them...plus everytime they add a patch u have to re-download them...really irritating

You don't really need the add-ons to unlock anything - there are plenty of very skilled players who use the default UI. I used to have tons of add-ons and recently returned to using a standard Blizzrd UI with exception of very few add-ons, and I'm doing just fine. But in any case, I would recommend this site - http://ui.worldofwar.net - a lot less clutter and much less confusing than curse-gaming. Below is the list of add-ons that I would recommend:

Titan Panel 3.0.5
MobInfo-2, v3.17 (includes MobHealth) - records mob stats like HP, loot % drops, etc
Recipe Radar - to find all recipe vendors in specific area
TinyTip - improves the crappy Blizzrd tooltip
Scrolling Combat Text v5.31 and SCT - Damage 2.22 - floating combat text, again huge improvement over default Blizzrd UI
OmniCC - cooldown counts
X-Perl UnitFrames 2.2.0a - one of the best unit/target/raid frame mods available
MonkeyQuest v2.5.1 or Extended QuestLog v3.6.7 - improves your quest log interface
Outfitter - best mod for swapping equipment quick and easy.
KLHThreatMeter - useful for tanking and on aggro sensitive fights

For raiding get CT_Raid pack from www.ctmod.net

If you interested in damage/healing tracking and stats, get DamageMeters from either site, or I personally use Recap which is much better.

Cheers

I see allot of you using titan panel. Do yourselves a favour and rather get fuBar. I have found it to be allot less bandwidth intensive. Also I have seen allot of post on titans memory leakage etc.

Those were indeed problems with Titan v2, and I switched for a while to Fubar. Titan 3+ does not seem to have any of those issues, I have been running it since 2.0.1 patch came out, and get more or less same memory and bandwidth usage as Fubar.
