[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
