What add-ons do you like the most?Follow

Auctioneer is a great one if you will be selling OR buying on the AH for mats down the road. BUT at first you will be hosed by misleading prices. You need to do scans of the whole AH occasionally to get a weighted price for items over time. The more scans you have the "better" your prices get for your server, so you can spot when something is truly a bargain compared to traditional prices. IE I just scored a blue level 20ish weapon for 2 gold that normally sells for 200 gold, I have no one that low but I can flip it back on there for a quick and easy profit.

I use altoholic which helps me manage my materials across characters on the server. I have one that holds all cloth mats, one that holds all herbs... etc, sometimes I get items mixed up when I'm in a rush and it's super easy to see when I've got items on multiple characters and address it.

Not much beyond that for suggestions here, I don't run dungeons very much due to my connection so I don't find i need dungeon / raid related addons.

Essential: Xperl and Bartender! I just don't think I could play with the default UI anymore at all.

Convenient: Deadly Boss Mods and GTFO.

Most interesting: Reforge Lite. Just got it the other day and so far I'm impressed.

In light of a recent thread on the class forums, I'd no longer suggest Auctioneer as someone's first AH scanner/interface skin. Some of the bundled features are really great once you're in full-on production mode with your crafting profs, but e.g. Auctionator does 90% of what Auctioneer does, and is much simpler. And when/if you do get seriously into crafting, something like Trade Skill Master is probably in the cards anyway.

I would suggest getting some simple AH skin, though - the default UI is not necessarily intuitive when it comes to stack sizes/pricing and displaying WRT bids/buyouts, and not using an addon can cause you to make mistakes, at a stage in your WoW career when the gold means most to you.

Beyond that, the first things I'd recommend are the ones that allow you to customize the look/feel of your UI. An actionbar replacement (I use Bartender), extended player/party/raid frames (Shadowed), a one-bag addon to streamline your inventory (TBag). These days, you can probably survive with the default outfit manager, but something like Outfitter that adds value on top of it might be worth a look.

If you're going to heal in a group, get one of the addons targeted for that job (Vuhdo). If you're going to raid, get a boss mod (DXE). Recount/Skada are definitely optional for actual group content, but they can help you during practice.

For those looking for it, the name is actually GrindLoot. I'm going to try it, though - I hate getting "inventory full" messages with bags full of junk.

My essentials are Carbonite (I get lost easily), GTFO (Its hard enough in an unfamiliar dungeon and I sometimes have trouble seeing everything that's going on), Bartender. '

I really don't like auctioneer - it makes me feel like I'm not in control. Has anybody tried AuctionLite? Any comments?

I use both Auctioneer and Auctionator. Auctionator lets me do a quick lowest price posting, as well as check for the cheapest mats. Auctioneer is used for my banker's daily buying and selling for profit.

If you are a healer, Vuhdo was mentioned as a healing raidframe. Personally I use Grid and Clique.

I love Power Auras for giving me visual queues when spells are available. Some spells I want to cast every time they are up.

Adibags gives me one big bag.

XPerl let's me position a focus frame (for the tank) and his target, as well as my target.

SheepMonitor is great at watching your Crowd Control, and GTFO helps you stay out of the bad stuff.

I use more, but those are the main ones.

Don't think I could play without Pitbull and Dominos.

Wouldn't want to play without Raven and Bagnon.

Also use Action Bar Saver, Chinchilla, Phanxchat, and Align on all characters.

Mostly use mouseover macros for healing, but I like to have Clique on my healers too.

The ONE add-on I can't play without is HearKitty. It's a vital part of my Feral Druid gaming experience. Once you try it, your playstyle changes. Instead of looking at the combo points, you hear them. Losing that add-on is like losing one of your senses.

On top of that comes BadKitty, Postal, Auctionator, IceHUD, MSBT, TukUI and all that stuff. I'm actually running a pretty lightweight setup, primarily thanks to TukUI. ~20MB memory used on add-ons while playing.

I somewhat recently got into healing, and since I'm just a clicker, I have found Healium to be great for me.

Amen!! I have the guild invitation option turned off so I don't get the automated ones, but still generally get 2-4 non-automated invitations each time I play. I recently created a macro to say basically no thank you so I can just click the button and continue on. I've been waiting for a chance to use it but since I created the macro I haven't received any guild invitations.

Developers spend many hours scripting a boss just do discover that the encounter has became trivial by using an addon.(see AVR)

Seriously, i don't use add-ons and if we wipe because of this, we have bigger problems.

For a hunter-specific addon, especially if you don't use a HUD, Serenity seems to be pretty nice. It's mainly a focus bar, but it also tracks your hunter-specific cooldowns (in a place you're already watching) so you don't have to have a separate NeedToKnow or other tracker configured.

Just like the TomTom GPS service in RL... offers you co-ordinates to find your quest objectives etc easier.

I use all the standard raid mods. Although thats only on my raiding toons.
The two mods i use the most, and on all of my toons are gatherer and Altoholic.
i was always looking for something. not finding it and so buying one on the AH
or spending time farming it up only to find one in the bags of one alt of another a few days later.
gatherer is just too helpful when i go out on a farming trip, which i do often just to relax
