[00:00] hey guys cloudy Hayes back for another

[00:01] video instead of dragging this video out

[00:03] longer than it needs to be I'm going to

[00:05] jump straight into it I have a huge list

[00:08] of useful add-ons for World of Warcraft

[00:10] and I'm going to share them all with you

[00:12] each add-on has been hand selected from

[00:15] various different sources in any add-ons

[00:17] that I didn't personally use I made sure

[00:19] to test them out the most useful and

[00:21] best add-ons all in one place obviously

[00:24] you're not going to use them all but

[00:26] that's why there's a collection for you

[00:27] guys to pick and choose through to find

[00:29] what add-ons work for you the links to

[00:31] all the add-ons will be in the

[00:32] description of this video but I do

[00:35] recommend watching the entire video as I

[00:37] will explain what each add-on does how

[00:39] to use them and why they may increase

[00:41] your quality of life in World of

[00:43] Warcraft we're going to start off with a

[00:45] few must have add-ons these are add-ons

[00:48] that are standard and everybody should

[00:49] have them starting off with our first

[00:51] add-on dbm deadly boss mods the dbm

[00:55] add-on is a valuable add-on to have

[00:57] because it provides clear Visual and

[01:00] audio warnings about upcoming boss

[01:02] mechanics it allows players to plan

[01:04] ahead and prepare for Dangerous

[01:06] abilities that are about to happen

[01:08] having this add-on will help you improve

[01:10] your performance especially in high

[01:12] level content dbm will help you know

[01:14] exactly when to move dis spell or other

[01:17] actions based on the boss's timers

[01:19] there's a lot of different customization

[01:21] options that come with this add-on as

[01:23] well if that's something you're

[01:24] interested in but the default options do

[01:26] work just fine I do have a few week

[01:29] orders to go along along with dbm that

[01:31] we will be talking about later in the

[01:33] video once you download this add-on it's

[01:35] ready to use you can open the settings

[01:38] menu by typing SL dbm in your chat

[01:40] window another alternative for dbm is

[01:43] Big Wigs and little wigs which I

[01:46] personally prefer over dbm both add-ons

[01:49] basically do the same thing this is

[01:51] definitely a must have add-on moving on

[01:53] to our next add-on details damage meter

[01:56] this is also a must- have add-on details

[01:58] is the best damage meter are available

[02:00] it does a lot more than just tell you

[02:02] how much damage you're doing trust me on

[02:04] that you can really dig deep into this

[02:06] add-on especially if you like charts and

[02:08] numbers if you highlight over another

[02:10] player's bar on the add-on it will show

[02:12] you the breakdown of Any Given encounter

[02:14] showing just about everything that

[02:16] happened avoidable damage interrupts

[02:19] deaths buff up time and even CC breaks

[02:22] and much more I know there's people out

[02:24] there that play the game without damage

[02:25] meters but there's no way to improve

[02:27] without them you have no way of knowing

[02:29] how you're doing and what you can

[02:31] improve on you can also compare other

[02:33] players detail logs to your own for

[02:35] example if you're a fire Mage in a raid

[02:37] and there's another fire Mage doing more

[02:39] damage than you but you're both the same

[02:41] item level you can dig deep and compare

[02:43] what spells he is casting more of or

[02:46] less of versus yourself you can also

[02:48] customize this add-on quite a bit you

[02:50] can change the size of the windows the

[02:52] color font and lots of other options as

[02:55] well you can also have as many windows

[02:57] as you want open and have them display

[03:00] different things for example one window

[03:02] for DPS one for healing and another for

[03:05] most damage taken or avoidable damage

[03:07] taken whatever you want it to show you

[03:09] definitely can this add-on will help you

[03:12] become a better player overall I would

[03:14] say dbm and details are the two most

[03:16] important add-ons in the game to have by

[03:19] far you could literally not have another

[03:21] single add-on and you would be fine but

[03:24] personally I think this next add-on is

[03:26] also a must-have add-on next on the list

[03:28] is weak ores weor is one of the most

[03:31] complex add-ons in the game but it's

[03:33] also very simple at the same time you

[03:35] can do almost anything with this add-on

[03:38] what this add-on does is allows you to

[03:40] display customizable graphics on your

[03:42] screen to help indicate Buffs debuffs

[03:45] and other relevant information there's

[03:48] thousands of different wears out there

[03:49] that help you do different things here's

[03:51] a few examples of a couple different we

[03:53] oras this first week AA puts the square

[03:56] on my screen showing me when my trinket

[03:59] is aail able to use my trinket is not an

[04:02] onus trinket but rather it's triggered

[04:04] when I use my taunt ability and it can

[04:07] only be used once every minute so having

[04:09] this weak Ora allows me to see when it's

[04:11] available to use without this weak AA I

[04:14] would have no idea when the trinket is

[04:16] available to use now let's take a look

[04:18] at another weor this one shows healer

[04:20] Mana it takes all the healers in the

[04:23] group or the raid and shows me their

[04:24] Mana percentage this is a good weak or

[04:27] for raid leaders or other healers to use

[04:29] in raid so they can track healer Mana

[04:31] without having to look one by one on

[04:33] their raid frames all of the Healer Mana

[04:35] in one nice convenient location and for

[04:38] the last example we have another very

[04:40] useful week Ora this is one of my

[04:42] favorite week oras as you can see my

[04:44] mouse cursor has a circle around it well

[04:47] that's also a weak AA the reason for

[04:49] this weak AA is so you can always and

[04:51] easily find your mouse cursor I know for

[04:53] me without the mouse cursor wiora I tend

[04:56] to lose track of its location during

[04:58] combat and I have to to jiggle my mouse

[05:00] back and forth to find it but with the

[05:02] ultimate mouse cursor weak Ora that

[05:03] doesn't happen anymore now let's go over

[05:06] the best way to find weak oras and how

[05:07] to install them you're going to want to

[05:09] head on over to wago.io and search for

[05:11] week ores from there once you're on the

[05:13] homepage of the website at the top the

[05:15] page click browse then select the war

[05:18] within under weak ores at the top of the

[05:20] browse menu this will bring up more

[05:22] options you can choose from Once you

[05:24] have found the weor you want to try

[05:26] click copy import strings then head back

[05:28] into the game and Ty slwa then at the

[05:31] very top click import then paste your

[05:33] import string using contrl V I would

[05:36] definitely say we or is one of the top

[05:38] three add-ons in the game it's

[05:39] definitely a must have add-on and I'm

[05:41] also very interested to hear about any

[05:43] special we ORS you guys have or use post

[05:46] them in the comments if you would like

[05:47] to share them next up we have another

[05:49] important add-on pler name plates pler

[05:53] is a name plate add-on with a huge

[05:55] amount of settings out of the box debuff

[05:57] tracking and even threat coloring this

[05:59] is an amazing add-on to have especially

[06:02] for those who like to do Mythic plus it

[06:04] may seem overwhelming to set up but you

[06:06] can just simply get profiles from other

[06:08] people there are a few different places

[06:10] you can get profiles but I recommend

[06:12] using quasi profile he makes some of the

[06:15] best player profiles around he sets it

[06:17] up so while you're in a dungeon the most

[06:19] dangerous mobs will be a certain color

[06:21] as well as interrupts the most important

[06:24] spells that need to be interrupted will

[06:26] be highlighted a certain color not to

[06:28] mention they look super clean trust me

[06:31] on this guys you want this add-on and

[06:33] quasi profile there will be a link in

[06:35] the description of this video to get to

[06:37] his profile but if you're curious about

[06:39] other profiles you can check out

[06:41] different profiles on wago.io and real

[06:44] quick before we move on if you want to

[06:46] play around with other settings yourself

[06:48] just type slpl in the game to open the

[06:50] settings panel this is also how you get

[06:53] to the profiles tab overall I would say

[06:55] it's really important to have Nic

[06:56] looking name plates blizzard default

[06:58] name plates show don't cut it next on

[07:01] the list for add-ons omn CD this is an

[07:04] add-on the track party cooldowns this

[07:06] add-on is mainly used for Mythic plus

[07:08] but it will track any spells cooldown

[07:10] that you want it's very convenient to

[07:13] know when your party members have

[07:14] defensive cooldowns or even offensive

[07:16] cooldowns as a tank in Mythic plus you

[07:19] can plan your pulls around your party's

[07:21] cooldowns for example you can do an

[07:23] extra- llarge poll if you know everybody

[07:25] has full coold Downs available but if

[07:28] you notice the group is low on on

[07:29] cooldowns that it might be best to pull

[07:31] smaller to prevent a wipe also it's good

[07:34] for healers to be able to track the

[07:35] Tank's defensive cooldowns that way the

[07:38] Healer can help with externals if needed

[07:40] or be ready to focus extra heals on the

[07:42] tank because the Healer will know if the

[07:44] tank is low on defensive cooldowns being

[07:47] able to see your party memb cooldowns

[07:49] allows you to plan better and makes

[07:51] working together as a team that much

[07:53] easier you can change which cooldowns

[07:55] are tracked and the location of them but

[07:57] the default profile work just fine

[08:00] Omni CD also comes with a built-in

[08:02] interrupt bar you can see the entire

[08:04] party's interrupts and if they have one

[08:06] available or not this is very important

[08:08] to have when pushing into higher keys to

[08:11] prevent overlapping interrupts if you

[08:13] see that you're the only one with a kick

[08:15] available then you know you can safely

[08:17] kick without overlapping the next set of

[08:19] add-ons are just add-ons to improve your

[08:21] quality of life in World of Warcraft

[08:23] add-ons you can live without but some of

[08:25] these add-ons really do make things

[08:27] easier first up we have speedy autoloot

[08:30] this add-on is probably the most simple

[08:32] add-on created it literally does one

[08:34] thing and the name of the add-on speaks

[08:36] for itself without the add-on when

[08:38] you're out questing killing mobs or

[08:40] farming when you loot mobs it takes a

[08:42] few seconds to do so even if you have

[08:45] autoloot checked in the interface

[08:47] settings it still takes a second or two

[08:49] to loot the mobs and you have to wait

[08:51] for it to hit your inventory before you

[08:52] can move on with Speedy autol loot you

[08:55] literally right click a mob and it's

[08:57] instantly in your bags I person L cannot

[08:59] live without this add-on it makes life

[09:01] that much easier and it saves a lot of

[09:03] time I definitely recommend checking

[09:05] this add-on out guys next add-on we have

[09:08] is raider.io this is also another add-on

[09:10] I cannot go without this add-on will

[09:12] tell you raid progress and Mythic plus

[09:14] scores of all players just by simply

[09:16] hovering over them with your mouse as

[09:19] well as your guild roster and even the

[09:20] group finder list where you see queued

[09:22] people this is a great add-on to have so

[09:25] you can quickly determine the skill

[09:27] level of players you're grouping up with

[09:29] without this add-on you won't know much

[09:31] about the group's skill level other than

[09:33] by inspecting their gear this is a good

[09:35] add-on for players looking to improve

[09:36] their Mythic plus score and even for

[09:38] casual players you can also rightclick

[09:41] other players frames to copy their

[09:43] Raider IO URL and easily look up their

[09:46] full profile on the website I definitely

[09:49] recommend getting this add-on if you

[09:50] plan to do Mythic Plus or even host your

[09:52] own raids moving on to our next add-on

[09:56] hili this is a priority helper add-on

[09:59] that can make recommendations several

[10:01] steps into the future unless you can do

[10:03] your rotation with your eyes closed and

[10:05] you can nail 95% Parts as or higher I

[10:08] recommend this add-on this add-on will

[10:10] help you master your rotation for any

[10:13] DPS class that you're playing but for

[10:15] tanks it only shows the best rotation to

[10:17] do the most damage it won't tell you

[10:19] when to press your defensives so you

[10:20] don't want to follow it as a tank but

[10:22] you could use it as a tank to see what

[10:24] rotation pumps the most DPS and use that

[10:27] to master your DPS side side of your

[10:29] tanking rotation as a Healer it will

[10:32] show you what rotation will pump the

[10:33] most damage as well but it won't tell

[10:35] you who to heal or when to use heals of

[10:37] any sort it will strictly show you what

[10:39] the best rotation is to do the most

[10:41] damage this can be quite helpful if

[10:43] you're looking to perfect your DPS

[10:45] rotation while playing a healing spec

[10:48] healers should be doing as much damage

[10:49] as possible in raids or Mythic plus when

[10:52] the situation calls for it obviously

[10:54] they will only focus on DPS when they

[10:56] feel comfortable enough to do so for

[10:58] example when there is little healing

[11:00] going out they might have time to throw

[11:02] out some damage so this add-on might be

[11:04] helpful for a Healer to learn their DPS

[11:06] rotation but for the most part this

[11:08] add-on is strictly for DPS classes once

[11:11] you download the add-on you can move the

[11:12] add-on around by right clicking on the

[11:14] mini map icon and opening the main menu

[11:17] when the main menu is open you are free

[11:19] to move the rotation UI around I

[11:21] recommend putting it directly above your

[11:23] action bars so you can see it without

[11:25] having to look far the button on the far

[11:27] left is what you want to be pressing the

[11:29] button in the middle is what you're

[11:30] going to be pressing next and it will

[11:32] always move to the left so you will

[11:34] always press whatever spell cues up on

[11:36] the far left instead of right clicking

[11:38] on the hili mini map icon I want you to

[11:41] left click it this will bring up a drop-

[11:43] down menu with some simple options here

[11:45] you will find different display modes

[11:47] and toggles for display modes make sure

[11:49] it's set to Auto and for toggles you are

[11:52] going to want to play around with it to

[11:53] see what works best for you I personally

[11:56] have cooldowns in minor CDs checked but

[11:58] this will make make your hili rotation

[12:00] more complicated but more accurate

[12:02] you're going to have to use common sense

[12:04] for this add-on to work well for example

[12:07] if hch is telling you to use your

[12:08] 3-minute major cooldown but the mob that

[12:11] you're killing is almost dead then you

[12:12] might want to hold that cool down and

[12:14] wait for the next pack but overall it

[12:16] will help you learn your rotation or

[12:18] improve it if you already know your

[12:20] rotation next add-on on the list is

[12:22] simulation craft before we talk about

[12:25] this add-on I'm going to talk about

[12:26] raidbots dcom raidbots is a website that

[12:30] provides many different tools for

[12:32] simulating your character allowing you

[12:34] to quickly and easily access different

[12:36] factors whether it's gear talents

[12:39] potential upgrades stat weights or more

[12:42] the add-on simulation craft allows you

[12:44] to generate a simcraft profile for your

[12:47] character by simply typing SL simc in

[12:50] the chat window what this does is bring

[12:52] up a box full of code or text you can

[12:55] then copy the text and paste it into

[12:57] raid bot's website to sim your character

[13:00] simming your character will tell you how

[13:02] much DPS you can do with the gear or

[13:05] talent you have it will also show the

[13:07] best possible combination of gear to do

[13:09] the most damage based on what you're

[13:11] wearing and what you have in your bags

[13:13] basically it's going to show you what

[13:14] your best gear is it helps you decide

[13:17] between two trinkets if you're not sure

[13:18] which one is better raid Bots will tell

[13:21] you which will do more damage but in

[13:23] order to use raidbots website you must

[13:25] have the simulation craft add-on in

[13:27] order to generate your sim C profile I

[13:30] definitely recommend this add-on if

[13:32] you're going to be doing heroic or

[13:33] Mythic rating also if you like to push

[13:36] Mythic plus keystones as well now I'm

[13:38] going to quickly go over how to use the

[13:40] raidbots website once you're on the

[13:42] homepage you have four options to choose

[13:44] from Top Gear Dr Optimizer quicksim or

[13:48] Advanced the Top Gear option will allow

[13:50] you to select different items from your

[13:52] bags to compare as well as your talents

[13:54] too this option will find the best gear

[13:56] and talents for your character when you

[13:58] click Top Gear you will see a chat box

[14:01] full of text select all of it and delete

[14:03] it then go back into World of Warcraft

[14:05] type SL simc and copy your simc text

[14:09] then paste that into the empty box on

[14:11] the Top Gear Page then scroll down and

[14:14] select items or talents you want to

[14:16] compare hit the green button find Top

[14:18] Gear at the bottom and wait for it to

[14:20] load then it will show you all of your

[14:22] best and Slot options next we have the

[14:24] drop deiser option this option is pretty

[14:27] straightforward it'll show you where

[14:29] your best gear comes from not much more

[14:31] to it than that then we have quick Sim

[14:33] option running a quick Sim will just

[14:35] give you your maximum DPS for your

[14:38] character pretty basic and not much more

[14:40] to it then we have advanced I wouldn't

[14:42] bother messing with this option unless

[14:44] you know what you're doing or familiar

[14:45] with this add-on so I would just

[14:47] recommend running Top Gear options or

[14:49] quick Sim or Dr Optimizer overall this

[14:52] add-on will help you take your damage to

[14:54] another level by maximizing your gear

[14:57] talents and stats definitely recommend

[14:59] this add-on moving on to our next add-on

[15:01] we have Mythic dungeon tools this is a

[15:04] Mythic plus add-on which helps you plan

[15:06] out your strategies and roots in Mythic

[15:07] plus dungeons every single NPC in every

[15:10] Mythic plus dungeon has been mapped out

[15:12] and can be viewed on an interactive map

[15:15] you can create your own Roots using this

[15:17] add-on and select which mobs you want to

[15:19] kill while going through the dungeon and

[15:21] selecting which enemies you plan to kill

[15:23] the progress bar fills up so you know

[15:25] exactly which enemies to kill to reach a

[15:28] perfect enemy C

[15:29] when you're done creating your rout you

[15:31] can share the root to the rest of the

[15:32] group by clicking the share button as

[15:34] you see here this will put a link into

[15:36] the chat and anybody with the add-on can

[15:38] view the route you created this helps

[15:40] people see what you have planned for the

[15:42] dungeon when pushing higher level keys

[15:45] this add-on can be especially helpful to

[15:47] open Mythic dungeon tools just simply

[15:50] type / MDT in the chat window up next we

[15:53] have a more Niche add-on personally this

[15:55] is a must-have add-on for me and my

[15:57] entire UI is built around having this

[15:59] add-on the name of the add-on is Sun

[16:02] viewport art this add-on allows you to

[16:04] change the size of the rendered viewport

[16:07] and adds textured artwork in the non-

[16:09] rendered areas that kind of sounded

[16:11] confusing so in easier terms the add-on

[16:13] puts a black bar at the bottom or the

[16:15] top of my screen in my case I have the

[16:17] black bar at the bottom of the screen

[16:20] the entire reason for this add-on is to

[16:22] create extra space on my screen to see

[16:25] mechanics easier when I add the black

[16:27] bar I also check a button that resizes

[16:29] the viewport so I don't lose any of my

[16:32] screen as I press the resize viewport

[16:34] button you can see that it resizes my

[16:36] screen slightly smaller and I can still

[16:39] see the same amount while still having

[16:41] the black bar having this black bar is

[16:43] basically free space to put things in

[16:45] the amount of area that I can see is the

[16:47] exact same as I could see before but now

[16:49] my screen is slightly smaller but if you

[16:52] look there is barely anything on my

[16:53] actual screen most of my UI is down in

[16:57] the black bar AKA free space this helps

[17:00] keep my screen from being too cluttered

[17:02] and allows me to see more mechanics

[17:04] without the black bar at the bottom of

[17:06] my screen the damage meter and the chat

[17:08] window would be covering my screen where

[17:10] potential mechanics may be this was a

[17:12] game changer for me when I started using

[17:14] this add-on a few years back overall

[17:16] guys give this one a shot it's

[17:17] definitely worth it you can also adjust

[17:19] the size of the bar as well in case you

[17:22] want it smaller and you don't have to

[17:23] use a black bar if you don't want to

[17:25] there's all sorts of different Custom

[17:27] Graphics you can use but I think black

[17:29] is the least distracting option

[17:30] personally but let's go over how to set

[17:33] it up just like mine once you have the

[17:35] add-on downloaded head back into the

[17:37] game press Escape then go to options

[17:39] then at the very top of the screen

[17:41] select the add-ons tab then click Sun

[17:43] art from here go to panels you will see

[17:46] bottom panel top panel left panel and

[17:49] right panel make sure only the bottom

[17:51] panel is enabled un enable the top panel

[17:53] if it is turned on now select the bottom

[17:56] panel make sure to select the box that

[17:58] says re size viewport this will adjust

[18:00] your screen so you don't lose any of

[18:02] your view range next you can adjust the

[18:04] size of the actual panel personally I

[18:07] like my panel set on size 16 but you can

[18:09] choose whatever size you like last but

[18:11] not least while we're still on the

[18:13] bottom panel menu select solid color

[18:15] under the theme menu this will make the

[18:17] bottom panel all black of course you can

[18:20] choose whatever style you like but I

[18:22] still think black is the best option now

[18:24] it should be all set up and ready to go

[18:26] and you should have a bunch of free

[18:27] space to put whatever you like down

[18:29] below moving on to our next add-on this

[18:32] add-on has been around for a long time

[18:34] and can be rather useful to new players

[18:36] and even to veteran players GTFO don't

[18:39] stand in fire GTFO provides an audible

[18:43] alert when you're standing in something

[18:44] you're not supposed to be standing in in

[18:46] some cases you'll be warned before you

[18:48] even start taking damage this add-on

[18:50] improves your situational awareness and

[18:52] is recommended for Dungeon divers and

[18:55] Raiders of all skill levels and guys we

[18:57] all know that the most post season

[18:59] veterans sometimes need a reminder to

[19:02] GTFO and the great thing about this

[19:04] add-on it doesn't require any setting up

[19:07] just simply download it and you're all

[19:08] set to go there's nothing else to this

[19:10] add-on it reminds you to get the out of

[19:12] something and that's it moving on to our

[19:15] next add-on we have World quest tracker

[19:17] this add-on takes all the world quests

[19:19] on the map and puts them into one

[19:21] convenient list you can view the list by

[19:24] opening your map you can also sort them

[19:27] by the rewards they offer such as gold

[19:29] reward quests it adds a custom tracker

[19:32] so you can manage which quests you want

[19:34] to do the add-on also records statistics

[19:37] of quests you've done and rewards you've

[19:39] earned if you're someone who does their

[19:41] world quests on the regular I would say

[19:44] this is a great add-on for you next up

[19:46] for add-ons we have TomTom this add-on

[19:49] is your personal navigation system in

[19:51] World of Warcraft you can punch in

[19:52] waypoints and a Crazy Taxi like Arrow

[19:55] will guide you to the location this

[19:57] add-on Al o has all sorts of built-in

[20:00] way points for many points of interest

[20:02] in the war within you can set multiple

[20:04] way points to quests or whatever else

[20:06] you want and the arrow will guide you

[20:08] there in the shortest possible route it

[20:11] also comes with a coordinate frame

[20:12] showing your player and map cursor

[20:14] coordinance it's definitely a useful

[20:16] add-on worth checking out great for the

[20:19] start of a new season or a Content

[20:20] update and moving on to our next add-on

[20:23] we have bug sack the bug sack add-on

[20:26] functions as a tool to display and

[20:27] easily access Lua errors that happen

[20:30] during your game playay it will show you

[20:32] a list of recent Lua errors in an easyto

[20:35] read format the text of the error can

[20:37] easily be copied and pasted for

[20:39] reporting purposes as well this add-on

[20:42] will help you figure out why you keep

[20:44] getting that annoying error message

[20:46] popping up in the middle of your screen

[20:48] for bug sack to work properly you will

[20:50] also need to download the add-on called

[20:52] Bug Grabber which is actually the add-on

[20:54] that captures the Lu errors generated by

[20:56] the game both of these add-ons are

[20:58] pretty small and don't take up much

[21:00] space overall guys this add-on will help

[21:03] you figure out why you keep getting

[21:04] error messages popping up moving on to

[21:07] our next add-on we have three add-ons

[21:09] that go together these are add-ons to

[21:10] help you with Gathering the first add-on

[21:13] on the list is gathermate 2 gathermate 2

[21:15] is an add-on that will track herbs

[21:17] minerals fishing pools and Etc it

[21:19] displays them on the world map and the

[21:21] mini map to make it easier to find them

[21:23] again you can either manually enter the

[21:25] nodes by finding them in the open world

[21:27] or you can import the data from external

[21:29] sources like Wowhead to get a complete

[21:31] list of all the Gathering nodes found by

[21:34] other players or you can just download

[21:36] another add-on called gathermate 2 data

[21:38] and then you can decide what you want to

[21:40] import this add-on helps you optimize

[21:42] your Gathering routes by showing you

[21:44] where the best spots are to find herbs

[21:46] or Etc gathermate 2 is pretty

[21:48] straightforward you find an herb and it

[21:50] records its location or you import the

[21:52] data and get them all at once but to go

[21:55] along with this add-on is another add-on

[21:57] designed for herbalism and mining called

[21:59] Roots Roots allows you to draw lines in

[22:01] the map linking nodes together to create

[22:04] the best possible rout for your

[22:06] Gathering the add-on uses algorithms to

[22:09] calculate the most efficient path

[22:10] between selected nodes minimizing travel

[22:13] time rots are displayed on the mini map

[22:15] allowing players to easily follow the

[22:17] path you can also adjust the color

[22:19] thickness and visibility of the roots

[22:22] for better Clarity and you can also

[22:24] share the roots with other players by

[22:26] exporting or importing them into the

[22:28] game to go along with this add-on to

[22:30] make finding nodes even easier is

[22:32] another add-on called Farm HUD Farm HUD

[22:35] turns your mini map into a HUD for

[22:37] farming herbs and ore this add-on makes

[22:39] it much easier to find nodes when you

[22:42] first start using this add-on it can

[22:43] feel a bit weird but once you get used

[22:45] to it you won't be able to gather

[22:47] without it it really does make a big

[22:48] difference in speed when Gathering it

[22:50] basically takes your mini map and zooms

[22:53] it directly on top of your character

[22:55] allowing you to see the nodes easier

[22:57] definitely give this add-on a try if

[22:59] you're into herbalism or mining next up

[23:01] we have another add-on that kind of goes

[23:03] hand inand with professions this add-on

[23:05] is called weekly knowledge this add-on

[23:08] gives you an easyto read overview of

[23:10] your profession knowledge progress on

[23:12] all of your characters it allows you to

[23:14] quickly tell which points you have

[23:16] gathered and where you might need to

[23:18] focus your efforts you will never lose

[23:20] track of your knowledge points with this

[23:22] addon it really does help you maximize

[23:24] your professions and I would say it's a

[23:26] must-have if you have profession or plan

[23:29] to start doing them moving on we have an

[23:31] add-on that allows you to customize your

[23:33] mini map the name of the add-on is sexy

[23:35] Maps this add-on allows you to fully

[23:38] customize and move your mini map you can

[23:40] customize the Zone Tex and the clock as

[23:42] well you can also hide all the buttons

[23:44] attached to the mini map with the

[23:46] options to be set to always hidden or to

[23:48] show on Mini map hover there's some

[23:50] pretty cool built-in presets that you

[23:51] can choose that really Jazz up your mini

[23:53] map here are a few of the different

[23:55] options you can choose from they really

[23:57] do have some pretty pretty unique

[23:59] presets that you can choose from guys

[24:00] you can also keep it plain Jane and

[24:02] still get plenty of use out of this

[24:04] add-on I personally use a square board

[24:06] and move my mini map closer to my action

[24:08] bars so I can see it without having to

[24:10] move my eyes to the top of the screen

[24:12] everyone will have their own preference

[24:13] when it comes to the mini map so this is

[24:15] definitely a niche add-on next up for

[24:18] add-ons we have method raid tools this

[24:20] is a great tool for Raiders to have and

[24:23] it's even more helpful for raid leaders

[24:25] and most Mythic raiding gills will

[24:27] require you to have this add-on in order

[24:29] for you to raid with them but let's go

[24:31] over everything this add-on has to offer

[24:34] and why it's a good add-on to have first

[24:36] off this add-on is notorious for its

[24:38] notes system and its cooldown tracking

[24:41] you can create simple notes to remind

[24:43] you which group you're in or the raid

[24:45] leader can create more advanced notes

[24:47] and you will be notified during combat

[24:49] when to use certain abilities many

[24:52] guilds will assign healing cooldowns and

[24:54] put it on the Note then at certain

[24:56] points during the fight the healers will

[24:58] know when to use their healing cooldowns

[25:00] this add-on also allows you to track

[25:02] raid cooldowns from everybody in the

[25:04] raid overall guys knowing when people

[25:06] have cooldowns is pretty good

[25:08] information to know this add-on also

[25:10] allows you to inspect the entire raid in

[25:13] one shot and view everybody's item level

[25:15] and even their talent choices there's

[25:18] also a built-in battle r timer you can

[25:20] place on your screen as well the amount

[25:22] of tools are endless with this add-on

[25:24] folks there's even boss statistics loot

[25:27] history raid attendance and a bunch of

[25:30] other useful tools to help you while

[25:31] you're in a raid group if you're a

[25:33] Raider or plan on getting into raiding

[25:35] this is a great tool for you to have

[25:37] when in game you can type slmr to open

[25:41] the settings menu and from here you can

[25:43] see everything that add-on has to offer

[25:45] definitely worth checking out next up we

[25:48] have an add-on designed for healers the

[25:50] name of the add-on is voodoo this add-on

[25:52] is a highly customizable raid frame

[25:54] replacement designed specifically for

[25:56] healers allowing them to quickly and

[25:58] easily cast healing spells on party

[26:02] health bars that are displayed on the

[26:04] screen this add-on allows you to modify

[26:07] your raid frames including size color

[26:10] coding and which health information is

[26:12] displayed the core feature is the

[26:13] ability to cast healing spells by

[26:16] clicking directly on players health bars

[26:18] making it very efficient for fast-paced

[26:20] healing situations while this add-on is

[26:23] primarily designed for healers other

[26:25] classes can benefit from this add-on

[26:27] with its advanced settings it has to

[26:29] offer from Advanced targeting to

[26:31] Advanced monitoring this add-on has you

[26:33] covered as a Healer Voodoo can be a bit

[26:36] difficult to set up but you can easily

[26:38] copy profiles from wago.io or other

[26:40] places and import it into the game to

[26:43] make your life much easier I will have

[26:45] links in the description of this video

[26:47] to help you find profiles to copy I will

[26:49] also have a link to a video teaching you

[26:51] how to properly set up this add-on if

[26:53] that's something you're interested in or

[26:55] you can just YOLO it and learn as you go

[26:58] and and I just wanted to mention if

[26:59] you're looking for an alternative add-on

[27:01] for Voodoo you can try an add-on called

[27:03] cell if you're interested in learning

[27:05] how to set up cell I will have a link to

[27:07] automatic Jack's YouTube video on how to

[27:10] set up this add-on the next few add-ons

[27:12] we have are focused on economy and gold

[27:14] making the first add-on is called TSM

[27:17] trade skill Master TSM is a very complex

[27:20] add-on with a lot of features but it can

[27:22] be very simple if you want it to be you

[27:24] can just simply use it to get more

[27:26] accurate prices of items on the auction

[27:27] house or you can use it to manage your

[27:29] sales and expense data and track your

[27:32] incoming gold with The Ledger tab which

[27:34] helps keep track of things TSM is an

[27:37] add-on designed to help both casual gold

[27:39] makers as well as experienced goblins

[27:42] streamline their gold making efforts

[27:46] a lot quicker than normal you can post

[27:48] hundreds of items by just simply

[27:50] clicking one button you can also set up

[27:52] different groups and operations to help

[27:54] lead you to success on the auction house

[27:57] but this can be a bit complicated to set

[27:59] up there's also a crafting tab that

[28:01] helps you figure out what crafts will

[28:03] sell for a profit and it allows you to

[28:05] build a queue speeding up the crafting

[28:07] process dramatically this is really just

[28:09] the beginning of what this add-on can do

[28:11] TSM really is the king of gold making

[28:14] add-ons and just like most add-ons you

[28:16] can download profiles to make it even

[28:18] easier if you're interested in making

[28:20] gold this is the go-to add-on there's

[28:22] plenty of videos on this add-on that

[28:25] will help you become a TSM master and as

[28:27] usual I will have them posted in the

[28:29] description of this video so be sure to

[28:31] check them out I definitely recommend

[28:59] single click as well it has a lot of

[29:01] similar features to the TSM add-on we

[29:03] just talked about but definitely offers

[29:05] less than TSM does it's not nearly as

[29:08] complex as TSM if you're looking for an

[29:11] easy to ous auction house helper this

[29:13] add-on might be for you next up we have

[30:28] have going into a new season or a new

[30:30] content update and it's great for those

[30:32] who like open world content it has

[30:34] similarities to the add-on TomTom and

[30:37] they actually work hand inand but you

[30:39] don't need the TomTom add-on for Handy

[30:41] notes to work definitely worth checking

[30:43] out though next up for add-ons we have

[30:45] an add-on for questing and RP lovers the

[30:48] name of the add-on is dialog UI this

[30:51] add-on makes questing feel better in

[30:53] terms of RPG elements and it makes The

[30:55] Quest boxes look much cleaner the quest

[30:58] dialogue is presented in a more visually

[31:00] appealing and userfriendly format making

[31:03] it smoother when you accept quests you

[31:05] can also make adjustments to the camera

[31:07] that you see while talking to the NPCs

[31:10] and it even displays a lore text when

[31:12] picking up Quest items this add-on

[31:14] overall makes the experience feel more

[31:16] like a traditional RPG players can

[31:19] adjust the font size camera movement and

[31:22] other visual aspects to suit their

[31:24] preference if you enjoy questing in

[31:26] World of Warcraft lore this this is

[31:28] definitely an add-on you want to check

[31:29] out a lot of people use this add-on in

[31:31] the beginning of a new expansion to make

[31:33] their experience come to life a bit more

[31:35] lur fans Rave about this add-on but next

[31:38] up for add-ons we have an add-on for

[31:40] your UI this add-on is bartender and I'm

[31:43] sure a lot of you already used this

[31:44] add-on or have heard of it since it's

[31:46] been around for many years the bartender

[31:48] add-on allows for extensive

[31:50] customization of Your Action bars

[31:52] letting you freely move resize and

[31:54] arrange them exactly how you want on

[31:56] your screen having this add-on allows

[31:59] you to have more control over your UI

[32:01] without having the need to completely

[32:03] overhaul it with a full UI replacement

[32:05] like lyi this makes it a good choice for

[32:08] players who just want to fine-tune their

[32:09] action bar layout without major

[32:11] interface changes as always I will have

[32:14] a link in the description of the video

[32:16] showing you guys how to properly use the

[32:18] bartender add-on up next for add-ons we

[32:20] have two add-ons that go hand inand with

[32:22] each other the two add-ons are deodal

[32:24] and blizz move first let's talk about

[32:26] blizz move and what it does does blizz

[32:28] move allows you to move and resize

[32:30] almost every window in World of Warcraft

[32:33] this can be great for customizing your

[32:34] UI unlike some other UI add-ons blizz

[32:38] move is designed to be very simple to

[32:40] use with minimal configuration required

[32:43] this add-on also lets you drag Windows

[32:45] slightly off the screen if you wish to

[32:46] do so and this is where the other add-on

[32:49] demold comes into play the demold add-on

[32:51] allows you to have as many windows open

[32:53] as you want normally when you open too

[32:55] many windows blizzard will automatically

[32:57] close some of them so it won't be too

[32:59] clustered for example if you want your

[33:01] talents window and your character screen

[33:03] open at the same time while viewing the

[33:06] map well now you can with this add-on

[33:08] and having bliz move installed along

[33:10] with demold you can now have as many

[33:12] windows open as you wish and drag some

[33:14] of them off the side of the screen just

[33:16] a little bit to make even more room

[33:18] personally I think it's nice to have the

[33:20] option to be able to move and resize

[33:22] anything that I want and to be able to

[33:24] open and view as many windows as I want

[33:26] as well it's a really nice option

[33:40] you're close to a rare or treasure and

[33:42] icons on the world map to help you find

[33:44] them easier hovering over an icon will

[33:46] also provide more information about that

[33:48] rare or treasure as well rare scanner

[33:50] displays a button in the middle of the

[33:52] screen with information about nearby

[33:54] rare items it also shows the spawning
