So I know about mes weakauras and gladlossa(I’m not using either but am curious what you all feel is beneficial)
I also learned about a neet addon sweepyboop arena helper. It really helped me as a healer since I didn’t like playing with ally health bars enabled, this addon just puts a class icon over your team so you can be aware of their positioning(without old fashioned markers) while leaving enemy HP bars as default. It also shows icons and HP bars for important totems, while filtering out all the clutter from BM pets and the like.
Tellmewhen code your own wa customize stuff
Gladiatorlossa feel is pretty big. I’d play like a potato without it
Disclaimer, these two addon suggestions require a decent amount of fiddling with the settings, but if you set it up right it’s insane how much cleaner the UI feels.
BetterBlizzFrames and BetterBlizzPlates.
Made by the same person hence the similar names. They come with pre-installed profiles from like top PvP streamers you can just click and play with their profile right away if that works for you. I set mine all up myself though which I won’t lie definitely took some time. I was using the addon Plater since forever and finally decided to delete it reluctantly. I just didn’t really feel like setting up a whole new thing, but I’m happy I just did it and got it over with. Reason for deleting Plater for me was that I was tired of my nameplates looking not Blizz-like and I really liked how the BetterBlizz addons highlight spells with a border specifically with different colors. I also would randomly just have bugs with Plater a lot.
SweepyBoop’s addon is incredible too for a lighter weight addon with still a lot of quality of life in it. I use this on top of the other 2. By the way, the BetterBlizzPlates addon has the party class or arrow above the head indicator too and a healer one just like SweepyBoop’s if you’re into an all-in-one kind of thing.

Is BetterBlizzPlates a replacement for bigdebuffs? I like the default blizz frames as well, but not all of the important debuffs show up by default(Like chains of ice for DK)
Hm honestly I’m not sure.
I have bigdebuffs, but I turned off the setting in bigdebuffs for CC and such so it won’t affect or show anything on my nameplates (above character bars). BetterBlizzPlates does this way better.
I still have it on for just the unit frames (party frames). If there is a setting in BetterBlizzFrames that makes debuffs bigger on the party frames, I would use that instead, but I didn’t really notice anything in the addon to replace that specific feature.
TLDR; I still use bigdebuffs. Disabled bigdebuffs for nameplates only, but still use bigdebuffs for party and unit frames.
And yes, the aura/buff/debuff filtering in these two addons is impeccable.
Also, don’t get confused by the similar names. They are two different addons. BetterBlizz(Frames) and BetterBlizz(Plates).
no, it’s a nameplates replacement only. You’d still need big debuffs for the other places in the UI it shows important stuff
