[00:00] hey everyone's enter fear and I want to

[00:01] talk about what are the three best

[00:03] add-ons to have as a Raider in World of

[00:06] Warcraft now some of you may not even

[00:08] know what add-ons are so let me just

[00:10] talk about that really briefly add-ons

[00:13] can be loaded into the game through a

[00:14] program called twitch you can download

[00:16] that online it's free you'll create a

[00:18] twitch account and you'll go into the

[00:21] section of the twitch menu here called

[00:23] mods you'll choose your game world of

[00:27] warcraft and you'll have a list of

[00:29] add-ons now if you haven't loaded any

[00:31] add-ons you'll have none so you can go

[00:33] to get more add-ons right here and from

[00:37] there you can search add-ons you can

[00:39] look at what are the most popular

[00:41] add-ons currently in the game all those

[00:44] kinds of details and load them once

[00:47] you've loaded them you'll have to

[00:49] restart your game for them to apply but

[00:51] once you've restarted the game and have

[00:52] them loaded in this add-on manager they

[00:54] will be active in your world of warcraft

[00:56] game so getting back to the main topic

[01:00] what are the best three add-ons that you

[01:01] want to have is a raider in world of

[01:02] warcraft

[01:03] first you want what you want to have is

[01:05] deadly boss mods or something equivalent

[01:07] so deadly boss mods seen here there's

[01:10] also one called bigwigs which is very

[01:13] similar these basically allow you to see

[01:17] countdown timers they allow you to see

[01:19] when spells are gonna be cast by the

[01:21] boss it gives you warning sounds warning

[01:25] messages when things are about to happen

[01:27] sometimes it gives you markers and

[01:30] different things on players it just

[01:32] really helps you to manage and pay

[01:34] attention to everything that's happening

[01:36] within a raid this is a tool that's used

[01:39] by mythic raiders it's top raiders are

[01:41] using these tools so we're definitely

[01:43] one of the beneficial tools to have

[01:45] second tool in the list is going to be

[01:48] weak auras it's called weak wars too

[01:51] what this tool does is it allows for

[01:54] people to create custom buttons and

[01:57] animations and things like that that can

[01:59] be utilized in raid now in a beginning

[02:02] rating situation you might not need to

[02:04] use this but as you get more advanced

[02:06] into rating you can really create some

[02:07] unofficial tools to notify players of

[02:11] what's happening or to manage different

[02:13] can exit are happening in a fight so we

[02:15] Korres - I highly recommend a third item

[02:19] is gonna be some sort of damage meter so

[02:22] for me I use SCADA it's not everyone's

[02:24] preference

[02:25] there's also recount I believe details

[02:30] as you can see here those are also two

[02:32] popular tools to use to track how much

[02:35] damage you're doing but what you can see

[02:37] is here in the fight I broken mine down

[02:39] to see healing as well as damage it

[02:41] allows you to just keep track of where

[02:43] you stand in terms of damage with other

[02:46] players in your raid makes things more

[02:48] competitive makes things more fun to be

[02:51] able to beat your friend and do more

[02:52] damage to them because you can see it

[02:54] live not necessarily something we'll

[02:57] have to have to raid but I think it

[02:59] makes it more fun and I highly recommend

[03:01] it so those are three really quick basic

[03:05] tools that you want to have as a Raider

[03:07] in World of Warcraft one other tool that

[03:09] I'll recommend here at the end if you're

[03:11] a raid leader or getting into more

[03:13] advanced rating is something called

[03:15] Exorcist raid tools what this tool does

[03:18] is it allows you to keep track of things

[03:20] like cooldowns of people in your raid so

[03:24] for example if you need to pay attention

[03:25] to how many battle Reza's you have you

[03:27] need to pay attention to what major

[03:28] healer cooldowns there are interrupts

[03:31] things of that nature it also allows you

[03:34] to make custom notes to place on the

[03:36] screen so that you can make assignments

[03:38] to raid members if they need to do

[03:39] certain tasks during the raid fight all

[03:42] those kinds of details so there's a lot

[03:43] more that it does - but those are just

[03:45] some of the basic tools that it can do

[03:47] so if you're looking to get into more

[03:49] advanced trading or to LEED rating it

[03:51] can be a really great tool if everybody

[03:53] has it so those are some of the tools

[03:55] hopefully helps you and best of luck
