O i think that add ons are a god send in World of Warcraft. The only time i find them cluttering things is the buttons around my mini map but thats it. I use Dominoes on some of my characters (including my 80) and this frees up a lot of space and adds a lot of customization options. Also i love xperl it just makes things more organized and once again the name of the game customized. Atlas loot is a much have because i always want to know what could possibly drop here so i know what to run. All my addons help customize my experience in the game and i cant live without them.

By 1n5an3 on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:01 pm

Yeah, addons make things generally easier. That was one of the great things Blizzard did with WoW and made it customizable to an almost insane extent.

By Kalcifer on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:03 pm

I prefer to see what’s going on so i pick addons that are as small as possible and turn off everything extra that they come with. Speaking of which have you noticed that addon’s come with so many extra stuff that you don;t need that you end up turning off have of it. I wanted a spell timer and i have a really good one but it came with so many other stuff that i spent half an hour trying to turn off all the cooldown bars and soulshard counters and stuff. All i wanted was a bar that i could have in teh corner of the screen and ignore but no you can;t have that you need all the other stuff as well.

Whoops that turned into a bit of a rant. Sorry

By PatrickD on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:20 pm

I have never installed a single add-on. I prefer the game the way Blizzard intended. If you want to use some, fine with me…but this is how I enjoy playing it.

By Deidare on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Well… i have no addons, i itend to have someone but my computer keeps putting curse client (an addon organizer thingy) in the wrong directory meaning i cant dowload any! I want some but it just wont work, and other that i really dont know which ones i want! If i can get help here on both situations that’d be great i know some general simple ones i want like quest helper, but the bigger ones like “unit frames” wha..? If i can get some hlep that’d be cool especcally addons like stat one like a dps meter, i have a PROT warrior, and a hunter so any tanking or hunter addons anyone knows i’d like to hear thanks!

Turalyon (normal)
PROT warrior : For the horde!

Despite how good Blizzard make the vanilla interface people are always going to want more.. which is why I support the open mod community.

But some are just bad news, when installing mods are weigh up a few things.

Frames VS functionality, i.e is the mod worth it?
Memory requirements? I have found a few mods recently that have memory leaks and cause my client to die a slow and painful death until restart.

How customizable is the mod? Can I resize it, and move it where I want, change the colours e.t.c

As a full time raider I find the following mods are stable and required to make my life easier.

Deadly Boss Mods
Omen Threat Meter
Dominos
DotTimers
AG Unitframes
Ora2
Raidtracker
Scrolling Combat Text

Everything else is just icing on the cake and are considered “nice” to have.

Titan Panel
eePanels

By Saemundr on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:33 pm

PALLYPOWER.

the be all that ends all if mods for Paladins buffs. i HATE raiding without it, or with people who refuse to use it.

Xperl + Clique (if i could only have 2 mods, these are it, hands down)
Combuctor (all in one bag mod)
Bartender4
Atlas
AtlasLoot
and i love FuBar addons, to present more info onscreen all at once, with minimal space - or even just to remove buttons from around my minimap.

Im mod crazy, but i did try running with the original UI again just recently… i couldnt stand it. i ran with default action bars for a month, and found i was so horrendously inefficient etc, particularly in arena.
It also took up too much space on my sceen.
I can run 5 action bars (same as default UI with all bars enabled) in under 1/4 the realestate using bartender and scaling, while having all my buttons much closer together.

By Naasuk(Andrew) on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:34 pm

As long as I have Light headed, TomTom, and Bartender 4 I’m okay.

By Saemundr on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:36 pm

oh and i totally forgot - Quartz + BigWigs (and all its addins - littlewigs, babywigs, etc etc) are a must have for me!

as a holy paladin (for now, again), Quartz lets me target the MT and see my Beacon and Sacred Shield timers, while using Clique to “mouse over raid frame” heal anyone that needs it.

i also forgot - RangeFinder included in Xperl (particularly with raid frames) is amazing. Alterac Valley and not sure whos close by? RangeFinder fades those that arent, so you dont waste time trying to heal them.

By Rogue4Life on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:44 pm

I would say at times I would be lost without my addons, yet other times I can turn them off and run just fine. It really depends on what you are doing for the time you are on.

My godsend would be questhelper. I can admit that I have read every quest that I have been given in Northrend, but will also admit that I don’t know 1/3 of the quests in Outland. I did them to level. Questhelper isn’t perfect (especially in instance quests) but for my alts it really gets the job done for completing multiple quests at a time. Nothing like turning in 5 quests at once.

As for other addons, i don’t have a lot (computer can only handle so much and I turn off just about all but 2 for raids).

Cartographer, DHUD, Recount, Ratings Buster & Omen are about it.

If i am going to be in the big city, I will turn on Auctioneer, but otherwise I keep my cluter to a minimum. Blizzard has updated somethings for LK with addons in mind so I don’t think as many are needed. They may be basic, but just knowing how many slots that are left in my bags is great, i know just when to go back to town to clear them out.

Look forward to reading what others use.

By WoWwife on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 3:44 pm

to keep all those addons up to date, WoW Matrix

not an addon per se, its a separate program that scans for addon updates, and auto-unpackages addons downloaded through their program

By Hatell on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 5:22 pm

I am an addon addict. I have:
1. Titan Panel (+RecZone),
2. Atlas (+LootEnhanced),
3. Auctioneer,
4. Bagon (all bags in one window),
5. Bonus Scanner (works with Titan to calculate your stats on gear),
6. DBM,
7. Gatherer,
8. Get Over Here! (DK mostly addon.),
9. Minimap Button Frame****,
10. MusicPlayer (saves my computer when I’m listening to tunes while grinding or farming),
11. MyRolePlay (for the RP servers),
12. Omen Threat Meter,
13. Quest Helper,
14. Tomtom,
15. Vendor Bait,
16. Sell Fish (these two work well together),
17. WIM (Instant Messenger, I got a lot of friends!),
18. X-Perl Unit Frames

So if you count all those addons and the plugs (As they download seperate) I have 20 standard Addons. I’ll test addons as well to see if I like them or not, but that’s me.

**** For all of you having issues with ALL those buttons on your minimap, I highly recommend this addon. It takes all those buttons and turns them into one button. You click that one button and there’s the buttons for all your addons.

Now there are some addons that I turn off and are part of some of these addons. (I don’t understand Enchantrix when I don’t have an enchanter… ?) There are others where they don’t have constant updates so I keep my eye on them and then load them when they finally are updated.

By Grido on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 5:50 pm

Im a Prot warrior and I use.

QuestHelper (Love this. I just like to know where to go, not wasting my time. I used to use light headed and TomTom but not anymore)
Auctioneer
Quartz (Show lag on casts)
Atlas (Dungeon maps)
Gatherer (keeps track of all your mining nodes)
Omen Threat Meter (watch threat but not needed so much in Wotlk)
Recount (making sure the DPS classes are beating me)
Deadly Boss Mods.
Pawn (to rate items but looking into Ratings Buster)

By Sathas! on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 8:00 pm

I use:

questhelper
tomtom
omen threat meter
atlasloot enhanced
atlas
cartographer

These are the ones I remember that I use at least there might be more but I’m not sure.

By Wonderboy on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 8:19 pm

I dont use a whole lot of addons because i do think it makes things to cluttered, although i used to use a ton. If you having trouble finding enough places to put skills i just bind them to soo many keys its stupid.
But the addons i think are a must are just quest helper, stat something (it shows how much like AP or Crit equals in %), and deadly boss mod for PvP and raids thats about it for me.

By Kimeghale on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Personally, I think a lot of the addons clutter up the game. Personally I have 4 that I use, quest helper, recount, autograts(yes I love to annoy the members in the guild) and recount. Other then that they are just a annoying.

By Jeff on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 9:46 pm

TitanPanel
QuestHelper & QuestGuru
AuctioneerSuite
MetaHUD
TomTom

… that’s enough to be going on with - just wish I knew which one(s) was causing my Glyphs page to go loopy… :-/

By Twest on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 10:18 pm

Well, I have roughly 150 AddOns. Granted 1/2 are modules for things like BigWigs, Cartographer, Gatherer, and Titan.

Now for my HUD, UI, Action Bars I use Nui. It covers all in 1 simple AddOn, it also includes a button bag for all of ur minimap buttons.

Factionizer and Carbonite r both God sends as well.

Factionizer, for those who don’t know, tells u what quests to do and what mobs to kill to gain rep with a particular faction.

I have used QuestHelper and Carbonite and will stick with Carbonite hands down until it gets tossed to the way side.

As far as maintaining my AddOns I use WoW Matrix. It is very simple to use, i.e. gives u a search engine that allows u to enter in things such as hunter and brings up all addons in its database for that class. It also gives a desciption of the AddOn so that u know what u r downloading and what it does.

Auctioneer–still workin out the bugs since the 3.0.x patches and WotLK.

Atlas, AtlasLoot, & AtlasQuest r great to have as well. Atlas gives u a map of the instance, AL shows u loot from the bosses, & AQ shows u the quests for that instance and the prereq quests as well as the quests that follow.

One last one that I will not remove is Lightheaded. Having this beats having to go to Thottbot or WoWhead to look up the quests. It gives u the info posted on Wowhead, the following quests, quest giver, and shows u on ur map (with Cart or another map mod) the loc of QG, where to acquire quest items (just like Carbonite), and loc of where to turn in quest.

By Kraki on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 10:49 pm

Dominos - for actionbar
Pitbull - for unit frames
Chatter - for chat
Dottimer - for timers
BigWigs - for boss fight timers
Chinchila - for minimap
Outfitter - for gear sets
Baggins - for Inventory
Altoholic - mainly to keep track of which alt is rested, and where all my mats are
Quarts - for casting bars
Omen - for threat (i’m a tank)
Recount - for damage meters
Auctioneer - only on my auction mule

I think thats all of the important ones

By Alayea on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 11:50 pm

I use a lot of addons to help sort through information (like, “what the heck is this white item for?!” *lol*).

This is a full list of the addons, to the best of my memory:

1.) CT mod {all except the raid modules}
2.) Omen
3.) Questhelper
4.) Atlas and AtlasLoot
5.) Deadly Boss Mods
6.) Enchantrix
7.) Rating Buster
8.) Ackis Recipe {used to find which recipes you’re missing under any profession}
9.) Action Bar Colors {reds out stuff for OOR and blue for OOM)
10.) Unit Frame Tweak {can’t recall what it does atm}
11.) World Map Info {or something similarly named}
12.) Thottbot
13.) Sea {kinda an “addon that manages the other addons”, and is required for some addons to function}
14.) Swatter
15.) EquipCompare
16.) Informant

As I said above, those are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head (I’m on a laptop). When I’m doing an instance or raid, I use only DBM; Omen; ABM; UFT; and one or two others. I don’t use any raid-related addons such as CT_RaidAssist or Grid because I can’t understand that crap. (Besides, I can still do pretty good heals.)

By FVTer on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 3:11 am

Some add-ons I find very useful (like the map enhancement ones) others are just plain dumb (like the clothing changes).
I think you need a good balance and find the ones that give the most benefit with th least screen clutter.
In the past I’ve used some that allow note taking on the map or showing it in a miniwindow, show buff times or regeneration times. I’ve also used some of the classics that are now a part of the interface - like the bag managers.

By Dyra on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 3:26 am

I honestly don’t know how I managed to play WoW without addons. I don’t know if I can now either….

I use the following:

Omen 3
Deadly Boss Mods
Recount
Questhelper (helps gets those dailys done quicker)
Auctioneer
Enchantrix
Gatherer
Atlas + AtlasLoot
diMapCoords
Titan Panel
Ratings Buster
Informant

I also have Benecaster which is fine for grouping and 10man raiding, but I’ve had to say good-bye to my screen when it comes to 25man raids. I wouldn’t get rid of it, or any of my other addons for that matter either.

They is my preciousessss.

By Beal on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 3:37 am

People do have to realize addons put a strain on both memory and cpu (depending on which you use). Some of our members kept on complaining about lag and getting disconnected. Telling them to disable all unnecessary addons (QuestHelper and Recount being the first to go) made their troubles go away.

That said, if you have a fairly powerful computer with plenty of RAM, this is my list of addons I can’t live without (as a raiding guild officer):

1. Deadly Boss Mods: after using BigWigs I switched back to DBM for WotLK, it’s simply better for some of the boss fights (health percentages on Thaddius, fourse horsemen, …) and the rewrite has done it well. I really feel the guy(s) behind the two should put things together and make the best raid boss addon instead of both having issues.
2. Arkinventory: can’t be bothered to sort my bags myself and this is just the thing I needed. One big inventory with automatically sorted sections and the ability to look at bank/guildbank/other character’s inventory. Also has search ability which is great. I did change the scaling (smaller icons) and an automatic alphabetical sort in the sections. Makes it perfect.
3. Chatter: I hated some things about the default chat and this addon fixes them (I do disable custom font and some other graphics goodies, cos i hate them just as much). Add to that “inv” and “invite” are clickable to invite the person who said it and notification if ur character’s name is mentioned somewhere, and it only makes it better.
4. Grid+Clique: very little screen estate and yet so powerful. I don’t get why people use XPerl, it’s buggy, resource intensive and takes up so much space. I think every single person in the raid should have Grid, so that they at least see what’s going on with the raid in its whole.
5. Omen: although Blizzard has made threat visible now, nothing beats Omen, period.
6. Quartz: casting bar improvement, not really necessary, but I like it.
7. XLoot and XLootMaster: being loot master most of the time, the combination of these two makes it easy (and allows me to announce loot and distribution to the guild too)

I have quite a few others I really like such as Auctioneer, Atlas, AtlasLoot, Cartographer, Carbonite Quest (turn it off when not questing), Talented (for quickly respeccing), ClosetGnome (for quick gear changes), MagicMarker, OverAchiever, RatingBuster, SpamMeNot, Gatherer, ACP, Afterlife, AutoProfitX and BigBrother. I could live without them, but I still feel they are a valuable addition if you have the RAM to spare.

By Slyfanitor on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 5:56 am

I don’t have any addons, and I higly doubt I will ever get one… So far everything Blizz put in themselves has been more than enough for me

Btw: Has anyone in the Totally Rad Guild got the Time-Lost Proto-Drake mount?

By Azurko on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 6:13 am

Titan panel & Vent is the only addons I currently use. Everyone on Durotan is always saying to use Questhelper, but that just seems to ruin the fun for me. You just have to read what the quest says and go for it, but on the ultra rare instances where I can’t find it to save my life, I check Thotbot for direction.

By Rugi on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 6:44 am

I really love addons, but I only stick to the essentials:

1. Carbonite & QuestHelper - Basic must-have
2. Zanzer Hunter Mod - Hunter must-have
3. Deadly Boss Mods - Fully automatic, doesn’t take space
4. Auctioneer - Saves money and Time
5. Atlas (+LootEnchanted)

Some times when I Alt+Z and look at WoW, I really wish I could just play like that, seeing all those beautiful graphics and stuff. But I guess if you buy a high resolution screen it would solve the problem.

By Petden on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 7:11 am

Im not using a lot of addons, becouse some of them makes playing too complex, and they r unwanted. But some of them r indispensable. Im using; Atlas, AtlasLoot, DamageMeters, KLHThreatMeter, MozzFullWorldMap, Proximo, Bartender and Questhelper (just, when leveling).

By Cypherblok on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 7:55 am

I generally like the fact that it is customizable, but it can be a bit much. My personal favs are Recount(being a rogue it’s a must), Omen, and QuestHelper. Really all I need, the rest are just annoying.

By Owenharper on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 8:49 am

I use Omen (IT everyone knows what that is), QuestHelper (Absolute godsend for questing. No more “Where the heck is that guy?”), Cartographer (I like how I can keep running while keeping the map open), KHunterTimers (handy for not wasting mana on mend pet, and I absolutely love the auto shot cast bar).
Those are my “productivity” addons.
My “fun” addons are: 1337Player (puts the little elite symbol around your char portrait, just for you to see), and CoolLevelUp (makes dinging hilarious, and shows you what new abilities you have to train).

Love your show, hope to see more of Zand with Soloing!

By DrowNoble on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 10:44 am

Never used an addon myself. WoW isn’t that hard to play to begin with so I never understood people who say “it makes the game easier”.

Plus game works fine on patch day for me.

If someone uses addons, meh, doesn’t bother me. Though I do have an issue with guilds/groups that *require* addons to run instances or raids with them. Don’t tell me you need -addon name- to raid, I did MC, ZG, BWL, AQ20 pre-bc as a healer with no addons and had no trouble at all.

By Ozzel's Cousin Fred on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 11:03 am

I avoid most addons, they add too much clutter, and there’ve been so many problems with account hacking I often dont feel like trusting unknown addons.. :\

I do use Atlasloot. Used to use Omen (dont bother anymore), CTRaid assist, and a few others.

By Ozzel's Cousin Fred on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 11:04 am

Forgot I still use Recount

By Simon on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 1:20 pm

well tbh.. if u don’t like addons, don’t use em.. I only use the ones i need, cuz of my terrible computer xD

By Ironhoof on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Addons are good in the game but sometimes i believe i have to many. Until now i use:
Xpearl
Atlas
Atlas Loot
Gatherer
Titan Panel
ArcHUD
DBM
Druid Focus (for my druid)
Khunter Timers (for the hunter)
Zhunter Mod (also for my hunter)
Rating Buster
Critline
Dr. Damage
Mob Info 2
Town_guard
Omen
Recount
and ….last….but not least….One bag
Sometimes it’s a bit crowded but in time i managed to make “some” space.

By WML on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 2:42 pm

I use 24 add-ons and plug-ins. After WotLK launched I, like many others, had to deal with my add-ons being broken, which was irritating. But I can honestly say, with the add-ons I use, WoW becomes much easier to organize and I have much more space to see what’s going on!

Screen shot: http://twitpic.com/10k7i
What you can see there is ArcHUD, SCT and SCTDamage, xPerl, Macaroon(for bar customization), FuBAR(+ some plug-ins), Wardrobe, Omen and Recount.

By WML on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Oh, and of course LightHeaded and TomTom… Duh!

By Deidare on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Thanks for posting all your addons people and i got mine to work! Thanks again.

By Twest on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 10:29 pm

Also use Ackis Recipe List, although the displayed required skills are off by about 5, to see what recipes are available and at approximately what skill level.

Also use CCBreaker and CCWatcher, CCWatcher let’s me know when CC’s end, be it my traps, or morphs, or banish. CCBreaker to announce who broke what CC.

By Fallor on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 1:35 am

The only addons I use are healbot for my paladin, decursive for the chars that can decurse and DBM. So my UI is pretty much the same except I have a small square in the middle of the screen all the time. I used to have loads and loads of addons but that’s over now. I like it when people can play with as less addons as possible.

By Josh on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 4:44 am

As a hunter whose gotten used to the default action bars the only addons I use are DBM, Omen (for raiding) Quest Helper and ZHunterMods.

ZHunter is very nice, if you’re a hunter and you don’t use it, go download it.

By Mr.Vincent on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 8:00 am

Some of my favorites are:

Omen
Carbonite Quest
Atlas
Atlas Loot
Recount
One Bag

I also have some of the useless ones that really don’t help you in game and just take up space, key example for on my Death Knight…Death Knight Sounds. /shy

By Alex on Saturday, January 10th, 2009 at 11:52 am

I don’t use too many addons…just:
-Atlas
-AtlasLoot
-Gatherer
-Deadly Boss Mods
-Omen Threat Meter

By voydd on Saturday, January 10th, 2009 at 10:44 pm

Most of my addons were mentioned already; but cause Im crazy about fishing in wow, I use fishing buddy. For all of us fishmen Its just unreplacable:)

By Tulka on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 11:43 am

I love Addons. but they dont love me. my computer is getting on a bit now and i find that if i have them all running on busy server times it can affect the performance, which can be annoying when in arena or raids.
some of the addons i use are….
+ Titan panel - great for showing bag space, durability, performance etc. without opening a new window.
+ X perl - nice interface for parties, can customise how you have your targets and who is targetting you.
+ Questhelper - because i am a lazy noob
+ Atlas and Atlas loot enhanced - i dont like wasting time in instances if i dont have too.
+ Quartz - great castbar/swing timer - shows you and targets perfect for timing CS or earth shock etc.
+ Auctioneer - great considering i sell lots of shit on AH and i just simply cannot be bothered to see how much everyone sells stuff for.

as you can probably tell i am pretty lazy but thats only because i use the addons to save what precious little time i have whilst playing the game without wasting my time with unnecessary tasks like reading

By kaos on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 12:59 am

i’ve forgot to mention Clique together with grid - nQuestLog + lightheaded during quests period - RatingBuster and maybe something else

By Iamsteve on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Any1 know what buff frames iTZKooPA aka the gnome mage uses? They are really nice and i cant find anyone that knows the name of them.

By smackalolly on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 6:22 pm

ok well i dont have a lot of addons but i got a fair amount
im a pally so PALLYPOWER is a must and i think any pally grouping with more pallys should have it. below is a list of mine and what i use em for but im in dier need of better ones but im comp dosent like a lot of the “good ones”
pallypower - pally group buffing
Atlas & Enhanced - to look up boss drops and instance maps
mapster - most for cords
gatherer & wow data base - must have as a miner i think
recount - nice to have see you dmg standing in group
quest helper - been thing about deleting but i like to have an idea where to go seem glitchy with lots of new quests and doesnt so multi spawn points a lot
x-perl - ok i dont liket this one but i dont know what to get instead like the raid tabs for everyone and boss cast bars and a few other setting but to much to firgure out for me
after reading lots but not all post im installing factionizer and clique to try out but who know if ill like em. i like simple addons i how ever and it need of some that take little space and memory which is hard to find lot of the time.

By ZorcyPoo on Monday, January 19th, 2009 at 9:06 pm

can somone tell me the addon that the mage is using that shows the name of the spell and the pic of it wen he does damage

By Bob on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 at 3:38 pm

Personally, the only thing that keeps me from getting every single addons out there is my system performance. My PC is decent, but i have close to 200 addons installed (tho not all are enabled for each of my toons) My favorites, in no particular order, are:
Cartographer w/ Gatehrmate: Map addon preloaded with a database of every mineral deposit for your farming needs
Bagnon: Combines all your bags into one movable, re sizable window and keeps track of items accross all of your characters.
Recount: Best damage meter out there, imo
Xperl and Agu unit frames: Yep, i have 2. Just trying out Agu at the moment.
IceHUD: The only HUD i could find with a combo point display that i liked.
CoolDownTimers 2: Shows my spell/pet/item CDs so i dont have to constantly look at my action bar.
Bartender4: One of the few addons that i have that helps to reduce the clutter
MikScrollingBattleText: Quite possibly the most screen-cluttering addon that i have, just because there is so much info being displayed while in combat.
Also, i used to have a chat frame addon called prat, but it broke with patch 3.0.3. Does anyone know of an alternative that works as well/better?
