10 Must Have WoW Addons That Will Make You a Better Raider

[00:00] so you just hit level 60 you're ready to

[00:02] get into the rating scene I got 10

[00:05] add-ons that I highly recommend that you

[00:07] download to make your rating experience

[00:09] so much smoother now if you're a veteran

[00:12] here you probably already have most of

[00:14] these let me know below if any of these

[00:16] are new for you but my newcomers these

[00:18] add-ons are going to help you

[00:20] drastically with rating uh just to keep

[00:23] you out of getting damaged whether it's

[00:25] healing damage there's so much all right

[00:28] let me break it down number one

[00:31] details details is a great add-on to be

[00:34] able to track the type of damage you're

[00:36] doing so as you see you could hover over

[00:38] someone and see what the what items or

[00:41] abilities they were using during that

[00:43] fight maybe you're missing out on

[00:45] something and that's what they're using

[00:46] to be able to get ahead and you can see

[00:48] which ones they're actually using more

[00:50] obviously Mages looks like frostbolt um

[00:54] but it shows you your DPS damage per

[00:56] second and your overall damage that you

[00:58] did so it's a nice way to keep tracked I

[01:00] like to you maybe shrink it down to the

[01:02] top five make it nice and small throw it

[01:05] in the bottom corner kind of give me a

[01:07] gut check on how well I did during that

[01:10] last raid encounter and if anybody is

[01:12] the same class to me kind of hover over

[01:14] them and see what did they do different

[01:16] and maybe how did I get a little bit

[01:18] better next time number two deadly boss

[01:22] mods deadly boss mods has amazing

[01:26] ability to tell you every kind of raid

[01:29] mechanic that's going to happen during

[01:31] all of classic so all of the different

[01:34] raids are already implemented into here

[01:37] and it's going to there's so much

[01:39] there's really so much it it it shows

[01:41] you dungeons it shows you world bosses

[01:44] anytime you do these big activities

[01:46] whether they're going to mind control or

[01:49] uh a reflector or something the deadly

[01:52] Boss Mod ad is going to pop up a big

[01:55] raid warning right on your screen and

[01:57] telling you like hey stop casting or

[02:00] whatever XYZ so I highly recommend you

[02:03] have to have deadly boss mods if you

[02:05] plan on raiding uh it just makes

[02:07] everything so much smoother number three

[02:10] gargo so hopefully I'm saying it right

[02:13] but this add-on is amazing for any raid

[02:15] that is doing soft reserves which most

[02:18] of your guilds are going to do a soft

[02:20] Reserve where you go on a third-party

[02:22] website you basically say hey these are

[02:24] the type of items that I want and at the

[02:27] beginning of the raid they use this

[02:28] add-on and you have to have it as well

[02:31] and it Imports it all in from there when

[02:34] the items drop it shows it's so nice

[02:37] below down in the raid chats and then

[02:40] pops up a little box along the way you

[02:42] don't even actually have to set anything

[02:44] in here this is more for uh the raid

[02:47] leader itself uh but having this it

[02:49] it'll pop up a big uh like just like you

[02:51] were rolling for an item and it will

[02:54] tell you main spec off speec and it

[02:55] tracks everything through the add-on so

[02:58] I highly recommend it it's really smooth

[03:00] and helps uh all the other raid leaders

[03:03] uh especially with you having it I don't

[03:05] think it's a must that you have to have

[03:06] it but it's a nice thing to be able to

[03:08] have and understand how everything is

[03:11] happening you could look through the

[03:12] loot history and look at everybody

[03:14] else's soft reserves I love it because

[03:17] with having it and I go into my Atlas

[03:19] loot I can go over molten core and say I

[03:22] want to roll on like I plan on getting

[03:24] these boots I could see down below if

[03:27] someone else already has their name

[03:29] attached to soft Reserve uh so then I

[03:32] can really kind of I mean it's maybe

[03:34] it's just me I like the little you know

[03:36] what what type of items can I possibly

[03:38] get oh that one's already soft reserved

[03:40] by someone like I might know that I soft

[03:43] reserve the band but what about the

[03:46] other people where's where's the other

[03:47] items I might be able to get so it helps

[03:49] me with kind of planning and kind of see

[03:52] uh the little uh excitement is am I

[03:54] going to get something off this boss or

[03:56] is it already soft reserved number four

[03:59] GT e Foo get the out you know what I'm

[04:03] talking about it's a simple add-on

[04:05] combination with the dbm add-on I spoke

[04:08] earlier it's all about literally if

[04:11] you're dying it tells you to get out so

[04:13] if there's fire on the ground which is

[04:14] the hardest raid mechanic and classic it

[04:17] will pop up red flash your screen saying

[04:20] move so it's a nice little thing if

[04:23] you're not paying attention or you know

[04:25] you're you're focused on the boss and

[04:26] you're not looking at your feet whatever

[04:29] um you don't want to want to die at a

[04:30] fire it's kind of embarrassing so just

[04:32] get that out on it'll save your life

[04:34] time to pay the bills so if you are not

[04:36] using rested XP wild leveling you are

[04:38] nuts uh for $10 to $30 it saves hundreds

[04:42] of hours over the course of your wild

[04:45] classic career highly recommend it I've

[04:47] used it every single time and they make

[04:49] it so so easy with the add-on so highly

[04:52] recommend that and as far as gold making

[04:55] check out solim soim has made a fabulous

[04:58] 150 seven page document with every gold

[05:02] making method possible check down below

[05:05] uh for code Dave for 50% off do not miss

[05:09] out make tons of gold level fast let's

[05:11] get back to the

[05:13] video number five Nova World Buffs Nova

[05:16] World Buffs is how you're able to see on

[05:19] the different layers when a certain uh

[05:22] buff can possibly drop so it's all you

[05:25] definitely want to be able to get all of

[05:27] the raid Buffs prior to going into the

[05:29] raid

[05:30] using your uh your Crona boom displacer

[05:34] to be able to save those Buffs but how

[05:36] do you know when you can drop say maybe

[05:38] you got the Oni head great you want to

[05:41] get the amlet well you don't even know

[05:43] when you can actually drop it not

[05:44] everybody you can't just drop drop drop

[05:46] there's different timers so like if I

[05:49] had the Oni head right now I know I

[05:51] could swap the layer three turn in the

[05:53] head to finish the quest but without

[05:55] this add-on you wouldn't know which one

[05:58] you or you know which layer you could

[06:00] possibly do it in it also helps me map

[06:02] out that I know like I want to be in

[06:05] orgam right now because someone could

[06:07] drop the Oni head boom I'll capture that

[06:09] one well another run can't drop for

[06:11] another hour 50 so as you know at

[06:15] 6:37 I want to get back to orgam to be

[06:18] able to get the ren buff so it lets you

[06:21] really map out when you can get the

[06:22] different Buffs and if you didn't know

[06:25] uh just because a buff is dropping on

[06:27] layer one and you're on layer three you

[06:29] still get the buff it gives the buff to

[06:32] everybody on all the layers but you

[06:34] can't turn in the quest item to be able

[06:37] to trigger the animation where the buff

[06:40] actually happens without knowing you

[06:43] know and having that add-on it's tough

[06:44] to really you know kind of guess to me

[06:47] number six threat classic 2 so there's a

[06:50] couple different threat meters out there

[06:52] I like this one overall and as I select

[06:56] it shows you know what the threat is

[06:57] right now I'm not fighting anything but

[06:59] if was in a raid encounterment I would

[07:01] see that my hopefully my tank is up top

[07:04] hopefully um and then I would be

[07:07] somewhere down below and it would show

[07:09] the percentage and you can set the

[07:11] different thresholds on when it it will

[07:13] start to alert you you can make it where

[07:15] it starts to flash your screen or give

[07:17] you kind of a warning if you start

[07:19] creeping up closer to the threat there's

[07:22] also little combinations that you can

[07:24] make um like I use a different add-on

[07:27] for my my bars in general en like my

[07:30] action bars so then it will show a

[07:32] percentage of threat uh right on the bar

[07:35] as well as having this so I like to when

[07:38] I'm in a raid enounter I'll literally

[07:40] put the threat right here because I do

[07:42] not want to rip threat and then somehow

[07:45] wipe the raid it's the last thing you

[07:46] want to do especially if you don't have

[07:49] this and you just would look silly so if

[07:51] you're getting into raing make sure you

[07:53] get the threat classic 2 which is a nice

[07:56] meter to be able to track threat like I

[07:59] said the tank will show he's 100% you'll

[08:02] be down here at like 60 70 50% whatever

[08:05] but as you get closer to his threat you

[08:08] need to slow down on your damage uh to

[08:10] let him maintain uh the the tanking

[08:13] portion of everything number seven weak

[08:16] ores so weak ores is an amazing add-on

[08:21] uh there's a lot to go into I can make a

[08:24] whole video on just weak ores um

[08:27] basically what you end up doing is you

[08:29] go to Wago Dogo or maybe Co I'll put it

[08:34] down below um and people create like

[08:38] these little third party like little

[08:41] mini add-ons built in I don't even know

[08:43] how to fully explain it uh but like I

[08:46] have this one that I downloaded uh for

[08:49] the Hiller Mana so I can change as you

[08:52] see I can change where I want this to be

[08:55] on my screen and basically like this

[08:57] Hiller Manor watch so so see oh there it

[09:00] is wago.io um now the one thing you got

[09:03] to be careful with is make sure it's a

[09:05] reputable person who you're downloading

[09:07] it from they have lots of reviews um

[09:10] lots of downloads uh because they could

[09:13] potentially put a malicious code in

[09:14] there uh since you're basically

[09:16] importing a long code into uh whatever

[09:20] it is so like you input it and it's a

[09:22] long string of code uh I don't know 100%

[09:25] I'm not no coder as far as that goes I

[09:27] just only download a couple that I know

[09:29] that I can really trust uh but the

[09:31] Hiller Mana Watcher I do it because a

[09:33] lot of times I'm pulling in raids um so

[09:36] I want to keep the constant flow of

[09:38] monsters coming to keep the raid Pace

[09:40] going but this Hiller Mana Watcher I can

[09:43] see all of my healers in a line and how

[09:46] much Mana they have left it only pulls

[09:49] my healers it doesn't pull Mages or

[09:51] whatever and it lets me see if I see all

[09:53] my all my healers are at 20% okay give

[09:56] them a minute before I pull the next

[09:58] group there's little things like that I

[10:00] use this one a lot which is a layer swap

[10:03] um and I can basically right click on

[10:04] here and easily swap between different

[10:07] layers uh so there's a bunch of

[10:08] different things my pet happiness I like

[10:10] to have that um so there's all sorts of

[10:13] different little things that you can

[10:14] turn them on and off depending on what

[10:16] you want to do but there's so many on

[10:18] the website like I said just be careful

[10:20] which ones you're downloading uh but you

[10:22] could easily type in Hunter and look at

[10:24] all the different Hunter ones or Raid

[10:26] and look at all the different raid ones

[10:28] uh on their website number eight healbot

[10:31] so I obviously not on a Healer but I'm

[10:34] going to pop up a screen so I can

[10:36] actually show you exactly what healbot

[10:38] is so if you I don't care if you're

[10:40] doing dungeons raids whatever you're

[10:42] doing if you were a Healer healbot makes

[10:44] your life so much easier instead of

[10:46] having to click on each person's

[10:48] personal little raid frame over in a

[10:50] party section you have a nice layout

[10:53] where you can set up your right click

[10:55] your left click your mouse click shift

[10:58] click you can do all kind of little

[10:59] setups where you can go from you know in

[11:03] one little hovering over someone's name

[11:05] you could do you know a renew or a

[11:07] greater heel or a flash heel you could

[11:10] do it all so fast a power word shield on

[11:13] them you could do it so much faster than

[11:16] you could ever do without the add-on and

[11:18] it's nice to be able to see everybody

[11:20] then you can also prioritize okay I want

[11:23] to put all my tanks at the very top so I

[11:26] want to prioritize them it just makes

[11:28] healing a 100 times easier if you're

[11:31] healing please just download healbot

[11:34] you'll thank me later number nine

[11:36] decursive so once again I'm not on a

[11:39] character that can actually do it so I'm

[11:40] going to pop up a little screen so you

[11:42] can see what it is but I look at it as

[11:44] like a whacko so during the raid

[11:46] encounters uh encounterment when someone

[11:49] gets a curse on them it will literally

[11:51] light up the button as red and you just

[11:54] click on it it automatically de curses

[11:56] them you don't have to search through 40

[11:58] different names on the raid to try to

[12:00] find out who is actually cursed who

[12:02] isn't it makes it so simple you

[12:04] literally just keep clicking on all the

[12:06] dots and you just get rid of all the

[12:07] curses makes it so much simpler I

[12:10] promise it will save you so many

[12:12] headaches when it comes to the molten

[12:13] core you'll look like a rockstar because

[12:16] you'll have a lot of people will track

[12:18] who's doing all the de cursing so if you

[12:21] want to you know top the boards on that

[12:22] make sure you have it number 10 the

[12:24] final one item rack now this one isn't

[12:27] specific to just raids but it does help

[12:30] uh because what you can do is you can

[12:32] set up all sorts of different sets and

[12:34] save it so like I have one for PVP raing

[12:38] farming um so maybe you're a tank and

[12:41] you want to be able to easily switch

[12:43] between a full tank setup with all of

[12:45] your gear vers a DPS setup instead of

[12:48] having to search through your bags and

[12:50] find each different piece you can

[12:52] keybind it and put it to I like

[12:55] something on the keypad is what I ended

[12:57] up doing too so I can literally swap 10

[13:00] pieces of gear with one click I don't

[13:02] have to search through the bags I just

[13:04] set it up ahead of time now I'm I'm

[13:06] still learning a little bit with it but

[13:08] you can even set up a q system so

[13:10] essentially maybe if I use this item

[13:14] then it will swap to a different item so

[13:16] that would be great for like a pre pull

[13:19] uh say you want to pop a trinket that

[13:21] gives you a ton of attack damage and

[13:23] then you want to use your other one

[13:25] because you can't swap trinkets once

[13:26] you're in combat so I might hit it

[13:29] and set up the queue where it's going to

[13:31] you know use the trinket switch to the

[13:33] other trinket boom it makes it so

[13:35] effortless I have not played around

[13:37] enough to really Master it so let me

[13:40] know down below uh if you have any tips

[13:42] on that as far as that goes but I know

[13:44] like there's so much you can do uh

[13:47] within this add-on just using the sets

[13:49] and be able to swap from a DPS to a tank

[13:52] set or a damage set to a healing set in

[13:54] one click 10 pieces of item that's a

[13:58] GameChanger I love it I swap all the

[14:01] time between different things uh while

[14:03] I'm out in the open world but hopefully

[14:05] all these 10 add-ons hopefully one of

[14:07] these maybe was something new to you if

[14:09] you're new to rating in general I'm sure

[14:11] a lot of these are brand new and then I

[14:13] sorry I didn't even mention I download

[14:15] all of my uh add-ons to Cursed Forge um

[14:19] which is a handy little third party

[14:22] website essentially that makes it so

[14:24] easy to download all the different

[14:26] add-ons and literally I check it once a

[14:28] week and I can one click update any of

[14:31] them that you know that need to be

[14:32] updated and then there's a browse

[14:34] function so you can look at all the

[14:36] other popular add-ons out there and see

[14:38] if it's something that benefits you love

[14:41] to hear your feedback hopefully this was

[14:43] helpful and as always game on
