Useful Add-ons

Here is a list of useful programs and add-ons that I personally use. As always, if you want to suggest one, leave a comment and I will add it to the list.

Ventrilo - Allows you to connect voice to voice with those in your guild or party. The guild has it's own ventrilo channel (this can be found on the guild information tab).

Cartographer - Reveals the entire map to you, regardless of whether you have explored the area or not. It also includes a coordinate function to show where you are. Many modules can be added and I would suggest all of them.

Questhelper - Database of all quest objectives. Uses an arrow to show you where you need to go to complete quest. Works in conjunction with Cartographer.

Recount - Displays information of what each person in your group is doing (i.e. damage done, healing, CC breakers, deaths, etc.). Also an exceptional tool for helping DPS define better rotations when working on the practice dummies.

Atlas Loot - Database of all gear. Shows where to obtain gear from instances, how much pvp gear costs, what the mats are for craftables, etc.

Deadly Boss Mods - An add-on that can do just about everything. See their website for details (www.deadlybossmods.com).

Item Rack - Organize sets of gear (pvp vs. pve, tank vs. dps) so you can switch between them with one click of the button. Will be even more useful with the coming of dual specs.

Pawn - Allows you to input values of certain stats and then weighs any gear piece you look at with those stats. See the forum website for ideas on values (www.pawnmod.trenchrats.com/).

Power Auras - Allows you to specify events that will trigger an audio or visual cue (i.e. when a boss' spell reflection goes up so I'm reminded to stop casting).

Fubar - A panel that certain add-ons can plug into.

Slidebar - Allows you to rotate the minimap icons to more convenient spots.
