Just got into BG PVP recently. Wondering what important addons are a must to play with.

REPorter, map that lets you track healer locations, players in combat, timers, and make easy inc and status calls
REFlex, track your bg win/loss history and more
WeizPVP, spy functionality for wpvp and a crosshair over your current target for easy tracking in big fights.
Capping for timers.
i would also suggest DR and cooldown trackers for your current target.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/battlegroundenemies for simpler tracking of your enemies, their CC, and their trinkets.
A proper nameplate add-on for CDs and DRs such as:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/capping-bg-timers for easier tracking of timers such as flag caps in Arathi Basin.
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/reporter-battleground-map to see where all of your team is as well as visual indicators of the objectives in BGs.
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/reflex-battleground-historian to keep a record of your of your BG stats.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
I downloaded WeizPVP and the crosshair change made a huge difference to my game. Thank you for that.
Thank Weiz, he posts on the forums every once in a while
To add to what was already said
-bigdebuffs
-Dontcast ( Let’s you know when spell reflect/counterstrike totem/etc is used )

BGDefender or REporter for calling out incoming enemies. This is a must have for random BG’s.
HHTD
Puts a big Red Cross on top of the healers so that you know who to kill first .

all add ons are a crutch and make you worse at wow by relying on them.
I unironically agree to an extent.
Things that tell you what’s going around you are big crutches.
But things that make it easier to relay information when typing can mean death, fine with me.
That said, second the suggestions for Capping and BGDefender
It’s funny I am a big pvper and I’d say none. Learn to be good like that then add mods.
Add ons for spying on enemy players in world pvp or rbgs.
Is it cheating? IMO… absolutely!
I gotta partly agree with Hiesinberg…learn to be good FIRST!
We’ve played since 2006 and never needed a “spying” add on…come on ppl
One that checks the gear level of the opposite team relative to your team so you can predict the outcome before the start of the game.
Battleground enemies for checking HP pools works.
I urge all healers and even some hybrids to download BigDebuffs. I’m at the point where I can tell when healers are not running it because I’m sitting there in CC and they aren’t dispelling me. It’s CRUCIAL. Not just dispelling healers, but your DPS.
