Which Addons Are Essential?

[Viira]

Hi everyone,

I haven't played WoW since WOTLK, starting new here.

Wondering what Addons you guys feel are essential. I know it's a matter of opinion, I'm just a little lost. Thanks.

I don't have names as I actually don't have a lot of these right now, but when I do pick up some more mods I'm going to be looking for things that include an energy tick and Combo points trackers.

Personally I love the HUD ones, I think I have something like AceHud or something to that effect right now. Gives you a heads up display of your health/energy/combo points as well as your targets health/resource.

It can be pretty heavily configured as well. I also typically include things like Bagnon/Onebag and some kind of Bartender mod. I haven't found a working version of Bartender that fits what I'm used to playing with before, but there used to be a version of it out there that would let you easily set up and change hotkeys on the fly which I really loved over having to go into the built in WoW Keybindings option.

Enemy cast bars is a good thing to have as well so you know when to correctly interrupt.

[Setup]

(1) LazyPig.
It adds a lot of polish that should be in vanilla but isn't, like automatic dismounting, automatic settings to greed/need roll on certain items, etc.

(2) Big Wigs.
Basic raid mod.

(3) EnergyWatchv2
is useful for seeing when your energy will tick.

(4) Improved Error Frame
gets rid of WoW error windows for you.

(5) KTM Threat Meter
Version 17.35.

(6) SW_Stats
for damage meters, most reliable meter.

(7) MobInfo-2
to see boss hp

(8) CT_Mailmod
to be able to send multiple messages at once.

(9) CCWatch
to have a visible timer for slice/dice incase you have too many buffs to see it otherwise.

Do you guys have pictures of any rogue UI's?

Some shameless self-promotion: PicoPoisons, for keeping track of poison charges.

Any recommended add-on to see how much time is left on DoT's, stuns and debugs on my target?

I use Stunwatch for stuns, as CCwatch would bug out if I cut into gouge with kidney shot, not recording the kidney shot duration afterwards.
Nature's Enemy Castbar tracks dots so I use that for both enemy cast bars as well as non rogue related CC and dot timers.
