This page is going to be devoted to those pieces of code that have a positive impact on gameplay and most people find usefull.At the end of the page you will also find links to several UI replacement packs that alter ( to a bigger or lesser extent) the look and feel of the UI. The addons will be split in categories starting with: Action Bar Addons What do you do when you don't have enough space?

You get more. With Addons of course.These type of addons allow the configuration of your action bars in many different ways ( position, size, scale, nr. Of buttons, nr. Of culumns, transparency, etc). This addon is regarded as one of the most popular addons for altering the way your action bars look and feel. It consumes a small ammount of memory and is easy to set up and use.

World of Warcraft Arena World Championship. More Competitions. Blizzard Arena. Realm Status. New Player's Guide. Returning Player's Guide. Mythic Raid Hall of Fame New. Famed Slayer of G'huun. 120 Troll Frost Mage Parse Culture.

Dominos does all that Bartender4 does and a a little more.Appart from being able to fully configure your bars you can also also bind certain keys to action bar buttons. Please refer to if you are interested in how an UI using Dominos would look since they are both very similar. Spartan UI is an addon based on Bartender4 which moves a large majority of interface elements into a custom frame at the base of your screen. These 3 addons are the most commonly used ones and will offer you enough posibilities to make your UI shine or hide with the transparency options. Buff/Debuff Addons By this type of addons I am refering to customizing the position and look of the buff/debuff frames and displaying them in a way that suits you needs. Elkano's buff bars will take all your buffs and debuffs and display them as a dropdown list sorted by name, duration, etc. SatrinaBuffFrame allows the user to alter the position,number,scale and opacity of the buff/debuff frames and is easily configurable.

Even though it doesn't offer the same functionality as the other addons Event Alert also acts like a movable frame for buffs. It will display a big(or smaller) icon letting you know whenever you gain a particularly useful buff ( Clearcasting,Backdraft,etc). Raiding Addons If you are a raid leader you want to know what's happening when it's happening.This is where addons come in. Recount is an addon that watches what each player in your group does and based on that it will show the DPS(damage per second),Healing done, Over-healing Done,etc.

In a movable and easily configurable frame. It also has an option to report a said category into a chat channel of your choosing.Next time a DPS is slacking off you'll know it. Omen, in the same way as recount, is a movable frame but instead of watching for what players do it keeps a closer eye on threat generated by them.With this addon you will always know when to stop DPSing in order not to take agro from the tank. This addon is perhaps one of the most important and useful raiding addons ever made. It tracks the cooldown of various boss abilities and displays warnings for them. It will also tell you to move away if you sit in an AOE area.The configuration of it is a little bit tricky but the default settings work perfectly. With these addons you can be sure that you will always know what is happening in your raids at any given time.

Unit Frames Addons If you are bored of the plain default unit frames or want more information on them this is what you need to get. There are several addons and all of them are highly configurable and most are easy to set up.They alter the look and feel of a large number of frames: player,target,target of target, target of target of target, pet,party and raid, arena frames, etc.This is true for all of them so in this ection i will only include the link to the addon and a screenshot of an UI using it. Grid is only a replacement for raid and party frames and not for the player, target, etc frames.It is used primarily as a healing addon since it is highly configurable in that way.Healing addons will be presented later on. Healing Addons Do you not know who to heal?This is what these addons take care of.At the moment there are 2 good choices for healing and they will be presented. This is a very useful addon for healing and particularly appeals to classes who use heals over time as their main healing method such as druids.It is very customizable and has options for virtually everything. Kovka 3d pro torrent crfxfnm. Shortly put you will know if someone is in range if he has a heal over time on him and how much time is left of that heal over time.It can also be configured to show debuffs and agro warnings.It's probably the best addon for classes who use HOTs. && This second choice is composed of 2 addons that are incredible taken together.Clique gives you the option to bind different spells and abilities to key combinations and allows you to use them with grid.It's the best choice there is for classes who mostly use direct heals like shamans and paladins.I will not include a screenshot since it looks the same as grid.
