My Top 3 Addons
Here we are at Monday again, and I’ve been giving the idea of addons some thought, as well as the players who consider said addons a requirement for grouping. Personally there are a certain amount of UI addons I can tolerate before it looks like someone threw up customization allover my interface. I try to keep things functional but minimal, even though I have a few that I “need” to do anything on a regular basis. What are the addons that I use? Here’s my top 3 (though more are active at any given time).
Gatherer is a handy little addon that tracks node locations and marks them for you conveniently on your map. It also syncs up with other guildmates who use it, and will send you locations of nodes that your friends get as well! This means that anytime you need to go around looking for herbs, mines, etc. you can bring up your trusty map of resources and pick out the most herb-heavy location you can get your hands on. If you have any gathering professions, this is a must-have.
Some players consider managing your threat a somewhat tricky business. With no real idea of where you are in comparison to your tank (or if you are the tank!) it can be tough. Omen attempts to bridge this gap by showing a little meter that compares your threat to the main tank’s. It’s not perfect or exact, but it will warn you (with creepy flashes and noise) if you’re pushing the aggro ceiling. Very handy!
I’ll be honest: I LOVE trinkets. I picked engineering for my main before goggles and flying machines simply because I loved the idea of having combat pets like dragonlings follow me around. So to go along with my trinkets, I needed an easy way to put up a trinket rotation and activation. Trinketmenu allows you to setup a list of trinkets that will automatically swap in and out based on available cooldowns as well as easily keybinding your trinket slots. Just awesome.
