List at least 3 mods that you use, and explain one of them that you think few people know about. Important notice: the mods you list must be legit and has support from Blizzard!
I will go first: Bagnon, ConsolePort, and and Neat plates
Neat plates is an excellent mod that can be used to give the nameplates a super fresh look. With it, you can customise the nameplates to your whims. I personally found Neat plates work super effectively with ConsolePort!
I donât use very many add-ons but my favorite has to be Immersion! It transforms the quest dialoge and such into a more modern feeling frame with an animated head to the side. Text is broken into pages so itâs not just a âwall oâ textâ you skip over.
The animations on the characters can be a little janky (tauren NPCs especially) but overall I really love this add-on. It changes the default UI for the better and makes the questing aspect better.
Details, WIM, and RIO Azerite weights
Details mostly for healing/overhealing meters and sometimes its just fun to see how i do when i dps shrugs or if i could do better.
WIM gives you free floating whisper windows, and a whisper history with people, found it -really- useful for saving convos, or just setting aside whispers to answer later, that there is no text length limit is also really handy.
And RIO Azerite weights just gives you the weights on what azerite traits are the most useful for your spec, donât always follow them, but sometimes its handy to have.
Immersion is quite literally the reason I still read quest text.
Reading a tiny block of text on my screen - with little to no formatting - is just unbelievably obnoxious. Immersion makes it so much easier, without much, if any downside. In fact, it improves interacting with NPCs outright, and just feels like a part of the game.
Blizzard really ought to copy it, because Iâve got to the point where something feels wrong when I donât have it.
Opie: multiple buttons in one button. Favorite mount buttons, CD button, macro button. Overall your whole screen will look cleaner.
Weakaura: Whatever you want to make your experience better in wow, there is weakaura for it.
and of course, MountSpyâŚyou knowâŚso that I know where a mount that a person that just passed me by was riding comes from.
#1 bagnon. I remember playing for a few days without it during an update many years ago almost made me quit the game lol. Iâve used the addon since I donât know when it was released. I canât understand how people can play with the default bags.
I really like the pet addons that helps with various things like teams etc. PetTracker and Rematch.
NugMiniPet. Autosummons a favorited pet when you move forward if you dont have one summoned. Also lets you set favorites for individual characters. Very nice to always have certain pets out for certain characters.
InFlight. Tells you how long a flight path will take, and gives you a little bar telling you how far along you are in the flight. Not always 100% accurate, but if its not accurate, it auto-updates that routeâs time once you land.
AdvancedInterfaceOptions. Restores interface options Blizz removed and includes a console variable list so you can change all sorts of stuff.
this thread should be short.
blizz donât support any addons.
Bagnon is the only addons I use. Not only is it a better single bag frame, itâs an inventory management system that allows you to check your bank anywhere, search items, check your altsâ bags, and it tells you how many of an item you have and where and on which alts on mouseover.
I used to use a lot more addons, but Blizz has slowly integrated a lot of them into the base UI, so I find that sufficient for everything else in the game.
RAIDER IO big need
BeQuiet: removes talking head audio and some other annoyances, like the old turtle woman during the crab quests.
DBM-EventSoundPack: I mostly use this as a template to add my own sounds to the game. Most notably, I make it play You Say Run from Boku no Hero Academia during a boss fight. Works with anything Deadly Boss Mods recognizes as a boss encounter, including BFA and Legion world bosses.
GTFO: makes noise when you stand in a fire, or are hurting your teammates by standing near them. I know this addon isnât as popular as it should be from my time spent healing randoms.
Azeroth Autopilot is the only thing that makes questing bearable
Elv UI is the best UI Iâve had
GW2 UI - Not only is the UI very sleek and artistic, it has a lot of customization options, including modular layout features and a neat widget which can expand to reveal all the addon icons that are usually attached to your mini-map. You can even disable parts of the UI that you would prefer not to use if you have other addons that youâd prefer control it, or prefer the Blizzard UI. Sadly for all the awesome features it has, it does have one major flaw and that is the inability to quickly unequip items from the character screen like you can with the base Blizzard UI.
World Quest Tracker - Not as useful as it was during Legion, itâs still extremely useful for being able to track multiple world quests at a time and see all their rewards from the map screen, allowing you to easily decide which world quests you want to focus on.
Adibags - My preferred bag/bank mod. Not as artistic as others but itâs easy to use, you can set it up so that it âstacksâ unstackable items from a visual standpoint (so if you had 5 grey claymores which donât stack, instead of seeing 5 claymores in your inventory youâd only see one with the number 5 written on it). Also automatically sorts items into categories, including equipment set items so you donât sell them by accident.
Plater, OmniCC, and Omnibar.
While all 3 of these are likely addons people have full knowledge of, I will explain all 3, as I enjoy explaining things.
Plater is another nameplate addon which is more customizable and works in tandem with OmniCC and Details. Itâs just one of the best nameplate addons I can think of, and Iâm someone who came from using KUI. Itâs one of those addons thatâll require a fair amount of time to setup, but once you do, itâs totally worth it.
Omnibar is an addon thatâs PvP focused, and can track enemy cooldowns upon activation. Itâs perfect for tracking things like defensives, or kicks, and provides an abundance of information in PvP.
OmniCCâs more universal in usage, and is one of my favorite addons bar none. It provides counters on your action bar, along with buffs / debuffs (through Plater integration), and color codes them according to time remaining. If itâs over 30 seconds, itâs white. If itâs between 30 and 5 seconds, itâs yellow. And if itâs below 5 seconds, the counter becomes larger, and red. This is great for peripheral information.
ALL THE THINGS, Bagnon & Rarity.
Most of my others have been listed here already, except⌠MageNuggets. Small, customizable, moveable pop-up window that lists all your stats. Numbers fluctuate in real time as abilities proc. Fun to watch my haste skyrocket past 120. Lets me know when Im good to hit a CD, or change up my rotation a bit, without having to visually scan all the buff icons.
DBM/Bigwigs - I alternate between them sometimes
GTFO - because who doesnât need a blowhorn in their ears whenever theyâre standing in bad
Elvui- because itâs sleek and customizable
Also skada, pawn, simcraft (for main), asmrrobot (for alts), postal, healbot, and mogit (despite the fact that itâs been largely abandoned)
I use Macro Toolkit, QBar, and Monarâs Wardrobe Helper.
Iâll actually explain Monarâs and QBar.
So QBar basically adds quest items into itâs own little hotbar (that grows and shrinks based on items flagged as quest items or starters) and lets you have a consistent and static frame to always press for a quest item. Itâs a massive QoL improvement overall, and I wish I had found it sooner. You can customize it by having a specific keybind (I personally use âShift ~â), and put it anywhere on your screen.
Monarâs Wardrobe Helper adds incomplete sets to your set tab in the transmog UI. You can filter it to include anything you have one of, or filter it to an appropriate amount of pieces, all the way up to the full set. However, I have noticed it doesnât record some sets, like the Mythic t19 Death Knight lookalike set. But itâs nice, overall. And I havenât had any lua errors with it either, so itâs always nice to have an addon like that which doesnât break all the things. coughMogitcough
Altoholic: it lets me check things like achievements, bags, bank, gear etc on my alts without needing to log out and onto another character
SavedInstances: tracks currencies, daily quests, bosses downed, heroic lockouts across characters as well
carbonite maps: because i like the way it zooms maps like on a phone app
Gtfo. Beeps at me when Iâm standing in the bad.
Vuhuh. Iâm a healer so party / raid frames are my life.
A weak aura (or addons exist too) to track my curser in combat. Canât overstate its value. Didnât think it would bybbig but it is.
