Recommended addons for a returning player? Howdy all, Have just returned to the game and looking for some info on what addons everyone uses and or recommends? Gadgets has a ton of stuff in it, most of which I don't bother with, but it's worth having for a few little UI improvements. KaruulAlerts is incredibly useful. You can create custom warnings based on a large number of conditions to help out in combat.
A meter is nice, but don't lean on it too heavily. Remember, if you're topping the dps but not doing your job interrupts, movement, raid tasks, etc you still fail. Imhothar's Bags is also really nice. The only thing not supported right now is shard vaults. Heh, I'm another returning player.
This can be very useful in comparing players using the same specs with the same responsibilities in a boss encounter and seeing at what points in the fight they differ in their dps.
It can also give you a good indication of when buffs start and drop off so you can better time your hardest-hitting abilities for that particular boss encounter. This can help you keep track of who has failed an ability that needs to be avoided and who needs to improve on their raid awareness. Some guilds may look at using both Hypatia and ACT. It provides timers, on-screen flashing alerts, mechanic spy, health monitors, tank swap monitors and other useful UI mods for each dungeon and raid boss encounter in the game.
It even gives a flashing icon warning for raid members who have less than 10min left on their consumes. You can customise this list as you see fit in terms of which Mark Numbers and Mark Icons you choose to display. This addon is useful on fights where you need to pay attention to the health of multiple mobs. The UI addon tracks cooldowns, buffs and debuffs on yourself, your target, focus target, enemies and allies alike and is highly customisable in terms of font, size, placement and what abilities it tracks and on who it tracks.
Your tanks will often have more debuffs on them than can be shown on their raid frame, and this can cause issues if a boss encounter has certain abilities that must be dispelled. This addon is invaluable for a Defiler to ensure that you know exactly how many stacks of Foul Growth you have on each of your linked targets, as well as who those targets are. SynthesisSpy SynthesisSpy is a UI addon that adds a small UI frame which shows both the name of the mage that casts the skill Synthesis as well as the target player generally a tank.
This addon can be very useful to Chloromancers a Mage soul when switching Synthesis on tank-swaps. The above addons are the main ones I see people using as well as ones I use or would recommend using. There are quite a few addons out there and you should spend some time browsing through them to see if any pique your interest. You are commenting using your WordPress.
