What are the add-ons you use in Wotlk for professions and PvE in general?.
Would like to know what you guys use and what addon manager you use because a few of them that I used no longer exist like wow up and that other one that got hacked recently so would appreciate the help.
You don’t need an extra threat meter if you have details, which includes the “TinyThreat” plugin.
Also, TellMeWhen is nice for keeping track of important dots, buffs, proccs and cooldowns. But Weakaura can mange that too if you car to get deeper into it.
Atlas Loot is nice to get information where to get your favourite gear.
Bartender
Z-Perl
Bigwigs
Littlewigs
Details! (tinythreat is part of that)
Plater Nameplates (integrated with Details!)
Auctioneer
Skillet (for profs)
Bagnon
Titanpanel (so your minimap isn’t polluted with a load of buttons)
Sexymap (looks nice and can remove all the minimap buttons clutter)
Mapster
Nova World Buffs
NugComboBar (works for rogues, feral druids and arcane mages very well)
Nugrunning (because Fortexorcist was abandoned)
Pallypower
and a whole bunch of other little addons like Accountant Classic f/i and a few different lootsystem addons such as Core Loot Manager DKP & EPGP & SK f/i
If you want to use titanpanel to stop getting your minimap from getting polluted, you need to look in the settings for plugins. You can use 2 bars and get all the clutter in there. In the settings of individual addons you’ll have to see if you can turn off the show button on minimap settings or something like that.
Sexymap however is imo a must have as it has way more options to set minimap buttons to never show, only on hover or always. A nice addition is that you can make the minimap a square f/i. I always delete the runes around it btw.
Bartender takes care of buttons as you can see i put them in the middle and on the side, i can have more bars if i like. You can make them in any shape/size you want them to be. Nice thing for druids is that allows bar paging so you can have all ur abilities per form in ur bars without having to make a row for every form f/i.
For me having bartender allows me to have 2 chatwindows, left for general channels and general rubbish, right for /w /g /raid.
Top right you see my minimap managed by sexymap. In the top you see what i put in titanpanel (not all addons let themselves be put there cause not all have LDB-support)
Left and right of my buttons is Details!
(what i forgot to mention that i also use Prat which allows you to copy from chat)
Edit: forgot to mention, i make 1 profile in most addons so i don’t have to build my UI on all my chars, i just take the profile i made on 1 char, afterwards like on druid i made some significant changes
Forgot to mention fishing addons don’t work for me for some reason in Wotlk.
It auto drops the lure and doesant auto apply the bait and it doesn’t show anymore what fish I collected and percentage of drop anymore aswel as what fish I can catch in the perticular zone.
Already Known - marks recipes and pets you already know as green on the vendor window.
Atlasloot Classic
Auctioneer suite - been using it back in the day, still using it now, now comes with a bunch of different addons which I don’t really find useful, aside from
Norganna’s Slide Bar - annoyed by addon icons around your minimap? Place them into a tab that hides outside of your screen and slides out when you mouse over it at the screen edge
DBM
Dominos - I have too much stuff on my bars
Fishing Buddy - kinda not what I need right now, but I used it back in the day
Floating Combat Text Fix - fixes blizzard floating combat text settings resetting to default when you log out
Map Trajectory - draws a line on the map in the direction you’re facing
Mobinfo2 - mob health, mana and loot database that you fill out yourself
Nug Running - shows bars for your cooldowns and procs plus dots and hots on all targets
OnFlight - flight path timer
Questie
Rawr Classic - adds the missing /roar emote sounds to player races
Recipes Collector - shows if a given recipe is already known across your characters in tooltip (includes alts)
Scambuster - database of ninjas, thieves etc. Got taken down from curseforge by those affected by it making false reports, but you can still get it elsewhere. Requires a database plugin for your server.
TacoTip - shows guild name, spec and gearscore in the tooltip
TankMD - automatically assigns tanks in your group to misdirect macros, for hunters
ThreatClassic2
Titan Panel - for nostalgia
Tulla Range - colors the whole ability button red when the target is out of range
UIChanges - the only useful change for me was showing pets in default party interface (I don’t like using raid style interface for 5-man parties)
Unitscan Rares - alerts you when a rare spawn is nearby. I helped with creating this addon’s database!
Weak auras
Zoomer Begone - absolutely essential addon. It filters a good bunch of twitch stuff from the chat.
