Thread: UI AddOns

  1. #1

    Default UI AddOns

    Addons are great at saving us time helping us focus on boxing our toons.

    One of MiRai's threads has influenced me to do alot of addon research. Here is a list of some of the addons that I prefer to use. Its not a complete list. I'm not active but I have been writing down on scrap paper and thinking of what addons I would use if i resubbed.

    I listed the name of the addon. A short description and a link to where you can download the latest version. A picture is worth a thousand words. A small number of them have YouTube videos as well.

    Most of us dread having to redo your addons because its so tedious and complicated. help is out there. Luxlunae has a great writeup on Addon Management, and he has a script to copy settings from one account to another. MiRai shows us his trick to configure Multiple UI's here. It uses mouse repeater to do this so understanding resolution and cursor sync is critical.

    Okay...

    1) I've moved your posts from the 1.5 year old thread and into its own.

    2) This thread could use a bit of context because long lists of add-ons don't really mean a lot on their own.

    EDIT: You've since updated your post.

    This is not strictly a PvP addon. It's also useful in mob packs in PvE to find the healers and burn them down.

    JB, if you're bored and thinking about multiboxing but not enough to pay wow subs you can always try rift!

    The addons are much less awesome, though

    I spend more on Rift store purchases than I ever did on WoW monthly subs. I haven't quite found that free game everyone has been mentioning.

    Where is money best spent? (on rift). I'm having enough fun I might be willing to sink 50-100 into it.

I decided to take it upon myself to get a workable solution that improved on the original idea. I have created an Addon called "Team Equip Compare" that adds lines to the tooltip for each member of your team.

    Is weak aura's the new defacto group cooldown tracker? I heard about the Hermes addon but that was in a much older thread.
