AddOns Your Character Needs for Optimal Raiding

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

When you start blasting through raiding content in World of Warcraft, one of the first things you will notice is that the interface provided by Blizzard to get the job done isn’t very good. After all, they just now got around to adding maps of the dungeons in recent patches – after 4+ years of content. So, if you’re serious about raiding with the pros, you’re going to need to pick up a few add-ons that will make your job a bit easier.

Many guilds even have lists of add-ons they require for their players so that everyone in the raid is looking at the same screen of information. So, it’s important that you start getting familiar with these add-ons early, even before you start raiding. If you can familiarize yourself with them when you are still back running 5 man dungeons, you’ll be ready to implement the strategies you need when you hit the 25 man raiding content.

Omen

This mod will take care of measuring and reporting your threat level and the threat levels of everyone in your party from their spells, attacks and taunts. You will be able to keep a close eye on where you stand so that you don’t pull agro from the main tank.

Recount

This add-on will keep track of the DPS and Healing numbers being dealt by each player and the totals being put out by the raid as a whole. It makes it much easier to know if you’re hitting the boss for as much as is necessary to beat the enrage timer.

Deadly Boss Mods

Almost every guild on the planet requires this mod because of just how helpful it can be. The Deadly Boss Mod will provide detailed strategies, timing and specifically necessary adjustments on screen for each boss. It will also do cool things like send a whisper to anyone that tries to contact you while you’re reading and it doesn’t burn your memory down so fast like other mods have a habit of doing.

Cooldown Count

Keeping track of cooldowns can be tough when you are trying to gauge the little clocks on the abilities. With cooldown count, you can watch and see exactly how much time is left before your abilities come back up.

SmartRes

This add-on will make resurrection much easier by coordinating it between all of your different rezzers. Instead of dual rezzes or someone wasting their spell, you’ll be able to save your time and mana, getting back from a wipe much faster than you would otherwise.

Even if you’re just starting to run instances, having these mods installed in your game so you can get used to them as you start playing this higher level content is a good idea. It helps you practice and prepare for whatever might happen when you start raiding for real. Just make sure to turn them off when you’re not in a raid so that you can save on memory and lag, and enjoy more of your interface while not in a raid.
