UI Addons

UI addons alter the entire look and layout of your screen.  Some of them come packaged as a set layout, others allow you to move virtually anything on your screen to a different location.

One of the more popular UI addons is Elvui.  You can see various examples of the possible layouts on their forums here: https://www.tukui.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3&start=190

Raiding Addons

Some raiding addons, such as Deadly Boss Mods, are almost considered mandatory for raiding - to the point where Blizzard tune their content based on the assumption people will be using them.  The following are a selection of the more useful addons.

  • Deadly Boss Mods - Shows timers for upcoming boss moves, tells you about interrupts, when to move, etc.
  • Skada Damage Meter - Shows you output, number of interrupts, dispels, etc.
  • Decursive - For classes that can remove debuffs from others, compact and easy to use.

To a lesser extent, and a more specialised use:

  • Auto Combat Logger - Automatically starts and finishes combat logs, so you can upload to a combat log site.
  • Angry Assignments - An in-game "note-keeper" where you can add your own notes for any content.
  • Weak Auras - actually an addon that does nothing until you install plug-ins that can help do virtually anything in-game, but most often used in raiding.
  • Raid Icon Bar - easily place raid markers.

 

Questing & Achievements

  • Handy Notes - this addon is, again, something that also caters for plug-ins.  Primarily used for tracking down treasure chests and rares.
    • Handnotes Shadowlands - a plug-in for Handynotes specifically for the Shadowlands areas.  Other areas have their own plug-ins.
  • NPC Scan - will keep an eye out for rares and let you know when it spots one. 
  • Rarescanner - another rare tracker.
  • TomTom - adds an arrow onto your screen to give you directions to your current target (quest, dead body, etc).
  • World Quest Tracker - allows you to easily see what World Quests are up, along with the ability to filter them.
