Addons for WotLK 3.3.5: a practical starter set

A good addon setup removes busywork without playing the game for you.

Must-have

• Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) — boss timers and warnings. Do not enter a raid without it.
• WeakAuras — procs, dots and cooldowns. Start from a class preset, then trim it.
• Bartender4 — action bars and keybinds the way you like them.
• Omen — threat meter: tank keeps aggro, damage dealers keep their lives.

For PvE

• Details! or Skada — damage and healing breakdown to find weak spots in your rotation.
• AtlasLoot — boss loot tables and drop chances.
• Grid2 or VuhDo — compact raid frames for healers.

For PvP

• Gladius — arena frames with class, health and cast bars.
• OmniBar — track enemy cooldowns and interrupts.
• InterruptBar — know when your opponent's kick is available again.

Levelling and world

• Questie — quest objectives and routes on the map.
• GatherMate2 — remember herb, ore and chest nodes.
• Auctioneer — understand prices before you sell.
