I remember being a clicker throughout most of Vanilla and having no addons… I feel the convenience of addons in modern WoW crippled me to an extent and i’m a little worried about what addons will be available during Classics release. I’d like to start a discussion about the addons that you all would enjoy seeing in Classic. I know a few of these addons will be available however going to list them anyway…
Most important to least important addon list:
*Healbot: “Configure key mouse combos to cast any helpful spell on Players with active bars. Configure key mouse combos to cast any helpful spell on Players with non-active bars.

Target, Focus and Assist can be added to all combos. HealBot can track and display who has aggro. HealBot can be used for decursive functions. HealBot can be used for monitoring buffs and buffing.
