I get a lot of questions when it comes to what addons I use on my various characters in the World of Warcraft when it comes to my user interface. So, I’ve decided to setup this page to give reference to those addons that I use, how they’re used, and why I use them. Who knows, maybe it will help people figure out of it they would like to use in their User Interface. Ok, enough with the dribble, on with the details!

A couple of statements though first:

  1. Yes, I could have made it use less memory. But why should I spend 4 hours configuring something I can spend 10 minutes configuring, and the remaining time actually… you know… PLAYING THE GAME.
  2. Yes, I do enjoy tweaking the heck outta this… it’s fun to me.
  3. No, this likely is not my most current version, because this, like me, changes often.
  4. No, you may not create a character on my server just to talk to me about it… So ha!

Unit Frames:
Shadowed Unit Frames – Used for both Party, Arena, and Raid. These unitframes offer a huge amount of customization within the game without having to mess with massive overhead and lag issues.

Bar Mods:
azCastBar – Just another cast bar alternative, with all the features we’ve come to expect.
Dominos – Hands down my personal favorite, easy to configure, and does everything I need.
NinjaPanel – LDB Display for all the LDB feeds that various mods provide. Kinda fubar-esque for those who might use it, but in a better implementation.

Chat Addons:
Fane – Cleaner chat tabs.
GreedBeacon – I… hate… loot… spam.
Prat – Does most everything I could ever want in a chat mod, and I can turn off the stuff I don’t. What more can you ask for?

Inventory Addons:
Combuctor – All in one bag system, with tabs for easy management.
Crossdresser – Change specs, change gear, nuff said.
EquipSetUpdater – Adds the all important “update” button to the default equipment manager.

Raid Addons:
Acheron – It’s a death log of sorts… wanna know what life was like in those last seconds before your character died, and know exactly why? Then want to know what it was like for anyone in the raid? Look no further.
Clique – Some may not qualify Clique as a raid addon, but I do, because without it raiding would be an absolute nightmare.
ControlFreak – Because knowing when your CC is going to break is just about as important as actually casting it in the first place.
Deadly Boss Mods – Personal choice, but I favor them as my bossmod alternative.

Misc Addons:
Butsu – Minimalistic loot frames.
CoolLine – All your cooldowns on one easy to see line.
MikScrollingBattleText – Like the SCT of old, only better, and easier to use.
Nudist – Getting naked was never so easy.
PocketPlot – Very lightweight Minimap alternative.
StealYourCarbon – I’m lazy, and hate remembering to buy reagents
teksLoot – Minimalistic roll frames.
