No.
And I refuse to use such addons.
But Iâm afraid weâre stuck with them because âpeopleâ.
Made me lol
Personally not enamoured with the dozens weâre supposed to use and maybe itâs just me but the more flashing stuff on screens or warnings etc the less I actually notice them. Think humans have âblind spotsâ where if something is in our peripheral vision we donât actually notice it, so whatâs the point?
Most noticeable for me was Painsmith: I was used to just looking where the gaps in the spikes during the intermission phase were and making my way there. During the many wipes on mythic we were asked to âfollow the skullâ and listen to RL voice. Needless to say this confused me utterly.
Weâre way too dependent on addons, to the point where ppl donât actually look at whatâs going on (maybe excluding very high end players) and ultimately die to simple stuff like crap on the ground. Just look at whatâs going on, look at boss cast bars; for the majority of fights thatâs all the information you need.
I do like DBM voice pack though
I downloaded a weakaura pack for the tank fight in the mage tower.
It made airhorn noises, beeps and squeaks for literally every ability. I almost had PTSD after one attempt.
I find the most useful warnings mods give to be timings for âimportantâ abilities, not when they blarp and fart everytime the boss auto attacks.

If the game needs addons on high end content itâs because of button bloat. With your rotation, aoe rotation, 2 offensives, 4 defensives, 2 cc, an interrupt, a heal and 2 dispels itâs humanly impossible to track them all.
I donât use those kind of addons but I donât do raiding/m+ either.

all DBM does is tell my idiot DPS brain Iâm standing in the sh!t and need to move, without me wiping the raid
addons make the game immensely easier, people who deny this are just⌠in denial ;p

thanks all for your asnwers and thoughtsâŚeven the hostile one 
just thinking after looking the answers that maybe addons help players consume expansion/patch contnent faster thats why developers cant cope up with bringing new contnet before players have seen all previousâŚ
addons in a way make easier to cordinate and kill bosses or get pvp wins in arena or in rated groups or trim damage to down boss faster so a raid become farm fast status.
on the other handâŚevery coin has 2 sides or things in life may have many points of view
We can always hope that microsoft will bann these things and start design bosses with their own stuff.

Addons like weakaura are mandatory if you want kill mythic raid boss. Most of mechanics now are designes in mind with addons.

i like sherlocks who come to conclusions from the obvious
This is an alt so maybe got some runs to get some ilvl fast. is it a crime?
- i get as healer or dps to 7/8 and i know the fights
- same way i can say your guild is boosting you etc. but i wont cause i dont critisize others what they do with the game

You have 0/8 mythic you really know fight?
I never said it was, Iâm just saying why you most likely arenât getting invites to keys on your alt. It has nothing to do with DBM or Bigwigs because guess what, nobody will ever know if you have it or not.
Actually, they havenât. I bought my KT & Sylvanas kill from another guild due to me wanting to unlock a certain transmog and not having time to raid due to work. I do however not buy boosts for M+ because it is actually content I enjoy doing.
wow is fun to play and enjoy. sometimes requires too much time to achieve something but thats lifeâŚsome have luck or organized guild and progress faster some have idle guild or less time and progress slower.
i am happy about you and wish u best luck and fun in wow

I hope so, because now to get in any harder content like m+15, heroic and mythic raid. I need not only have knowledge but also have done it before and tons of addons that tel me when that invisible pool of lava will appear under my feet. Bosses shoud acnnouce they mechanics in visable way but they donât do this in WoW now. Onyxia fight had a lot of visable mechanics but new bosses not.
They canât justify The Need for addons, they can only justify Their Need for it.
You donât need addons to play the game, they help out. That doesnât mean, you cannot live without them because you absolutely can.
In my prime time of Mythic raiding, I would occasionally turn off Deadly Boss Mods and whatever else was required for raiding, just to prove the point that you donât need it once you know the tactic and boy, most people donât know the tactic even when they down the boss for 10 (sloppy) times.
Itâs like, imagine you are a car mechanic, you fix clutch to a car and then next car comes with same problem and you go âI cannot fix thisâ. I became less and less tolerant to this b.s because itâs like a disease or plague that hits every guild I was in, hence itâs one of the reasons I stopped raiding.
First of all, you donât need addons at all to do dungeons in WoW, nor raids.
Bosses are made with addons in mind, but you can totally play without them.
Addons basically just tell you when stuff happens or keep track of stuff for you.
Have you ever played without addons? I did, and I actually raided without them, I also know someone that raided mythic with us without them. and I also raided mythic without them for fun, although on farm bosses.
It is more convenient to know the boss is going to cast X ability in 20 seconds, than to rely on visual cues and sound warnings.
Another important thing about addons is that they allow bosses to be more complicated, which results in more fun and intriguing encounters.
In a world without addons, bosses will need to have telegraphed, slow attacks instead of the hyper fast pace you see in bosses like mythic denathrius.
