Atlas Loot Classic
Bagnon, all OneBag3 users should be converted, inshallah.
Auto Dismount (Why not, I am a XIV player and not afraid of bed)
Atlas and Atlas Loot - Because I am not going to sit here too much explaining that I had these 13 years ago and wanted them that bad too. Plus when I am in dungeon that I have never seen or seen in 13 years, well, the benefits outweight "destruction of classsic)
HealComm - When the time comes for it to have a function until then disabled he remains.
Auctionator - I AH a lot, and with AHDB auctionator is overall less daunting and more straight line auctioning tool, it will scan stuff and undercut the lowest price with few silver, lets you make custom stacks, and fixed it’s UI right away to mention 2/8/24 hour auctions instead of whatever Auctioneer suite lies. If someone has a hustle with -neer than you do yourself my babe is -nator
Better Vendor Price
Server Friends Only: If you play classic this clumsy, almost self destruction level of weak code put together is still one of best things you can have in classic wow.
Auction House Data Bae (AHDB) Classic - I do not claim to be an expert… But I do say I have tested auctioneer and Auctionator+AHDB. AHDBc for whatever reason can scan the AH in only seconds when others take way longer and I still try to figure out is it buggy, not getting everything or just balling on next nether level.
Questie - We know this
Field Guide - We may NOT know this one.
Clique - It is pretty cool especially for a healer hybrid as myself.
Titan Panel - Like Atlas, I had this 13 years ago you had this 13 years ago so what is problem?
Watto Classic - It seems to not get yeeted by the gorillion other addons I have kept enabled, so watto is now my junkseller. You could probably get by with SellJunk EZJunk etc. but Watto is one more alternative with separate button if you want to have it in a button or some addon is screwing your existing Looter Shooter.
Peggle - Peggle
peggle
Monkey Quest+And His Buddy (MonkeyBuddy)
BlizzMove - I come from FFXIV and even then it’s movable windows is not the reasn I wanted this addon 13 years ago and now I have it, brilliant.
Tiny Tooltip - This one is big, yet something that has minimal to none ability to “destroy the integrity of muh” whatever, this thing is amazing and has the understatement of the year for it’s addon name. Tons of things but main one is player character detail richer than nameplate or even clicking on them. Overall excellent tool to get actual data and usage out of tooltips especially with player characters and it even lets you disable the names ingame world for immersion. Mouseover is good as any way to get to know your fellow Troll.
FriendNotes - I have this, I do not think I’ve used it, it might have alternatives but same as server friends only, the idea is to be able to give notes about your friends in friendslist, useful in Classic probably wasted space in Retail.
And… WiM-3 - Again I used WIM 13 years ago, I missed it (and the chat bubbles) in the OTHER game I played a lot of past few years, and WIM… We’ve come home together.
Also for automatic addon updating I use this:
[grrttedwards/wow-addon-updater - Github is there, rest is on you]
It is hell to setup as you need Pyton 3.7(+) if you do not have it, bunch of prerequisites that are installed through command line. Some weird Pipenv setup for your wow updater folder and more.
But after that hours long bang against the wall? It becomes a link you double click and tells you “hey, stuff was updated, but most of it was not”
Very cool, would highly recommend.
I also use ELVUI with a crazy UI setup that is half something new to me half from my FFXIV healer setups to make me just better healer when needed and it has done that job for sure.
As it comes to addons and “keeping Classic Clean” I agree to a point, I did not want “better clearer maps” for example I wanted the old drawn looking ones that made you feel some orc drew it and now you have to think outside it’s box to get to your hidden shaman shrines etc.
On Other Hand, addons are a standout feature now and 15 years ago, WoW had them and WoW remains just about as only game of it’s genre to have a huge feature like this. FFXIV lets you customize your UI and individual scaling of parts etc but those UI setting possibilities just die in front of the WoW Addon system - one would be a fool to dismiss it completely especially if you want to take your dungeons a little bit more seriously, raiding and much more. Just find a balance really.
Leatrix Map is most balling, and still authentic map mod you can use, just disable it’s weird no-frame interface and you have a movable map that tells you secrets, might even whisper the codes for the bomb WHO KNOWS?!
Last note: I might use some addons I did not mention, because I feel that enough people said them and/or it might be useful or not depending on your playstyle like Details! Damage Meter and threat meters.
I don‘t need to ask for quest locations to socialize with the people on the server. And party building for quests and instances works fine on our server. And yes, if you are asking questions in chat people are answering them. In general I am one of those who answer questions regarding quests and most of the time I don’t need Questie for this. But there are this one or two quests that really … In each region.
