10 Addons YOU NEED in Classic WoW Season of Discovery

what's going on everybody and welcome back to another video I've been getting a lot of requests to make an add-ons video for what add-ons you guys are going to want to be using in classic wow season of Discovery it's coming out in 2 days so this is my list of add-ons that I think would benefit every player new or Advanced so without further Ado guys let's dive in fire be all right guys so the first add-on that I want to show you guys is mini map button button and what that is is basically an add-on that will keep track of all the add-ons you have installed it's going to be this little button right here that you can kind of drag around the screen you can put it anywhere that you want um and it really helps to reduce the Clutter it keeps all your add-ons organized and basically any you know when you have all these add-ons installed imagine if I had all of these add-ons and I didn't have mini map button button all of these add-ons would be scattered in little circles CES overlapping each other around my mini map so mini map button button is just a great way to keep your add-ons organized and I'm telling you guys this is the first add-on so that you can install this first so that every add-on that we install going forward will stay organized and in a nice spot to move this around you're just going to hold in your middle Mouse button which is your mouse wheel you're going to click on there and just hold it in and you can drag it around anywhere and then when you want to place it somewhere you just let go and then you just left click it to open up the folder where all of your mini map add-on buttons are stored in my opinion in this add-on is an absolute must it keeps everything nice and clean and not looking cluttered around your mini map so for the next add-on I want to talk to you guys about is going to be auctionator auctionator is a great add-on and I think it's absolutely essential for a fresh classic wow when you visit an auction house and speak to an Auctioneer you're going to see these new tabs shopping selling cancelling and auctionator in the auctionator tab you can run a full scan of the auction house it will scan every single item on the auction house and then when you're out questing in the world and you pick up items all you have to do is hover over them and it will give you the price on the auction house so you're like okay I just looted this belt it's worth 138 gold this is awesome so that's one great function of that for selling items it's even easier when you want to sell an item on the auction house you're going to go to the selling Tab and you're basically going to either select the item from your bags right here like if I wanted to sell this fell cloth I would just click on it it would scan the auction house and this is the price that it would sell at and you would just hit post now if you're selling something that's in AEP of items like let's just say Ironwood seed for example it would I have two stacks of this in my bags so you can see here that it's going to sell two stacks of 20 and you would just hit post and it would post both Stacks but if you wanted to change that and you maybe wanted to do four stacks of 10 you would just change those numbers so now you're selling four stacks of 10 it will automatically post four different stacks of 10 of those for you it's honestly one of the best add-ons you can use in the shopping tab here let's say you're looking for devil sore pieces you can just search devil sore and hit enter or hit search up here and it's going to come up with everything with devil sore in the name it makes it a lot easier to sort through things or if you're trying to buy like stacks of cloth right let's say we want to buy wool cloth and we don't want to scroll through a million different auctions for one piece of wool cloth you're going to hit that and hit search and then you can just click load more results at the bottom and this is going to give us the results for every single piece of wool cloth on the server you click into it and now you can see you can buy one stack of two for 12 silver 11 stacks of 20 for one gold 30 silver each and if you wanted to buy let's say three stacks of these you would just select that hit buy and then just hit buy stack buy stack buy stack now you bought three stacks of wool cloth for one gold 33 silver it really does make shopping and selling much easier so now let's say we wanted to sell that fell cloth from earlier we can go back to the selling Tab and you can just drag and drop it in here or click it in here and we're going to list it right so now we hit post it's listed if we go to our cancelling tab couple things here we can see the total amount for all the items that we have for sale on the auction house and then we can actually cancel them from here by just clicking on it so I just clicked on it and canceled the auction uh one good feature of that is let's say we wanted to list uh these Mana potions so let's list those on the auction house so now if we go to our cancelling tab we see that they're listed uh we have a total on sale for eight gold if you want to scan to make sure you weren't under you can run an undercut scan by clicking this button here and what this will do is will scan all of the auctions with that name and tell you if you've been undercut price-wise if you've been undercut it will say yes here obviously I just posted this so we haven't been undercut yet um but if you have been undercut and you have let's say 20 auctions and you say yes yes yes yes yes yes yes here all you have to do is C click cancel undercut and it will cancel all of the auctions that you've been undercut on and then you can run to your mailbox pick them up and relist them the next add-on you guys absolutely need it's super essential for leveling in classic wow is going to be questy now questy is basically an add-on that will show all available quests to you on your map so let's say I picked up these quests in burning steps which I'm actually currently on on my classic era Druid if I look at my map and I go to burning steps right here you can actually see all these icons on the map this is where the quests are right it's telling me I have to go here to slay these fire gut ogre Mages the fire gut ogres and these little bag icons are something you would need to loot for a quest um and aside from that it will show you pathing routes for Quest givers that are walking around the city so like this Quest Giver right here CER Goodman walks around Stormwind in this exact path so it's showing us we can pick up these quests if we walk this path and find this NPC other than that you can actually look at places on the map and take a look at all the quests that are scattered around if you hold shift down while over the quest it will will actually tell you the rewards for the quest as well so this Quest right here will give us 200 XP and 12 silver this Quest right here it's going to show us all three of them because the CER Goodman has three quests on him we'll get 1500 XP 90 silver 45 XP two silver 550 XP 33 silver then we have this Quest here assisting Arch Druid stag Helm that will give us 45 XP and two silver now questy is great from level one uh simply because it's going to make questing a lot more streamlined for you let's say you're playing a human and you start off in Northshire Abbey which is up here it's going to show you all the quests available to you and then show you exactly where to go to complete those quests the next add-on I want you guys to take a look at is sexy map that is this map up here you're probably wondering why does your map look so different you don't have the standard circle with the minus and plus signs to zoom in and out well on sexy map we can scroll in and scroll out to zoom our mini map and we have tons of different styles that we can choose from we can just head on over to our options click add-ons at the top and then click on sexy map right here and then these are all different presets if we change the preset it's going to change what our map looks like here's the parchment one that kind of looks like a a quest frame uh but my favorite personally for leveling in classic is The Faded Square I just think this looks really clean and nice but there's tons of cool ones and there's constantly new ones coming with updates you can really kind of trick out your map and make it look cool like this space one right here is also really cool uh we have shaman is M that one's really awesome if you're playing a shaman you can really kind of get immersed even in your mini map there we have clouds uh so there's a lot of really cool options when it comes to changing your mini map and obviously it will let you change the size of it um the the zoom out you can lock it and there's plenty of stuff you can do here and then you can save a profile and then open up this profile on any of your alts so that you can pretty much have the same mini map for every character you're playing this next add-on is absolutely essential especially for newer players more advanced players won't really need this but I still use it and I've been playing the game for a really long time this add-on is called pawn p a WN this add-on is going to show you when an item is an upgrade now it's not perfect but for the most part it will work especially for new players so if we look at my belt I have the ShadowCraft belt equipped it's nine strength 14 agility 10 stamina nine spirit and if we look in my bags I have the belt of preserved Heads This belt is clearly better 14 strength 15 agility 11 stamina and one % chance to hit it's actually going to show us a percentage upgrade for each spec feral damage spec it's going to be a 46% upgrade and feral tank spec it's going to be an 18% upgrade so then we can just equip it and we know that that is a better belt now a lot of you are probably sitting there wondering like how does your UI look so clean but it's still the default UI well that's going to be leatrix plus this add-on this add-on I think is going to be absolutely essential for anyone that wants to do things like raise your max camera distance disable the screen glow effect disable screen effects set your weather density disable loot warnings faster Auto loot faster Movie skip not really going to need this in classic that much disable bag automation there's tons of different things you can do with leatrix plus and that's actually how I'm getting rid of the Griffins on the side of my action bar at the bottom here you can do so many things you can enhance your quest log you can enhance the tool tips enhance your mini map enhance professions enhance training there are literally so many different things here Hide error messages is a great one if you're playing a rogue uh so you don't constantly see not enough energy in the middle of your screen when you're spamming Sinister strike things like that uh you can hide macro text you can hide keybind text all you have to do is select the option and then reload the UI down here there are tons of different things you can do with leatrix plus like sell all your junk automatically repair automatically when you talk to a vendor accept resurrections automatically accept summons automatically automate your quests release your spirit in PvP on death uh so you don't even have to click it there's just tons of quality of life enhancements from theatrix plus so I think this is one that everyone needs another amazing add-on that I think might actually be really useful in season of Discovery is going to be Nova World Buffs so this add-on basically tracks World Buffs and tracks when they're going to reset it tracks the Buffs that you have on each of your characters across multiple Realms which is really cool and as you guys know we're going to be getting the black them and Ashen Veil Buffs uh that are going to be considered wh Buffs at level 25 so this is going to be a nice way to see when the Ashen Veil buff is going out or which characters you have that already have the buff uh it's just a nice way to track these things it's also going to track what layer you're on and on launch we're going to have a lot of layers I have a feeling it's going to be like hardcore right so we're going to have 10 plus layers on each realm and it's going to help you by identifying which layer you're on in case something is happening on a layer that you want to jump to another absolutely essential add-on is going to be the lfg bulletin board basically what the lfg bulletin board is is a dungeon finder bulletin board it's going to take everything from the looking for group and trade chats and pop it right here so that you can see it it's going to stay there in case the chat's moving really fast which it might be on a classic fresh uh you can actually see all the groups forming and really just whisper these people by left clicking on their name right there and then as you can see you can whisper them here uh it's really nice and you can actually edit the filter so you can only see specific dungeons let's say you're level 30 and you don't want to see anything past level 30 popping up here all you're going to do is rightclick on the mini map button for it you're going to click filter and now you can see we go to the vanilla filter and all of these are selected if I unselect all of them and I just want to see these low-level dungeons we can do that right here up we'll go all the way up to Z for rock and then we'll hit okay and now we open the lfg bulletin board and it's only going to show us those dungeons I think the lfg bulletin board makes forming groups and finding people to run dungeons with a lot easier they do not need the add-on for this to work all that it's really doing is pulling the posts from looking for group or trade chat down here and then posting them here so that you can see them and they're actually going to stay here for longer than they would if they were in the chat you know when they're in the chat and the chat is scrolling really fast it's kind of really hard to find a group so this makes it a lot easier so these last two add-ons that I think you guys absolutely need are going to be details to show DPS healing done Threat all of those good things and weapon swing timer which will be really useful on anyone that's not a Caster I mean it still will be useful on a Caster CU you can see your targets weapon swing when they're about to swing at you uh but it really is useful for melee DPS especially Hunters range DPS uh anyone that's dealing physical damage with auto attacks so I'll show you how it works we're going to run in and just start Auto attacking this defas inmate this blue bar down here indicates our mainhand swing and this red bar indicates the defas inmate our targets Main in hand swing now with weapon swing timer you can head on over to your add-ons and hit this little sign right here the drop down and we can honestly mess with everything in here you can change the color of it so let's say we wanted to change the color of our bar to Orange since we're a druid and we wanted to get rid of the text and just have a static bar there and maybe we want to make it a little bit shorter so it's not as long we're going to change the width of both the Target and our bar we're going to turn the text off and we're going to have our Target's bar be bright red still and now let's see what it looks like we're going to run up to this prisoner and we're going to start Auto attacking this is now our main handar this is the defas prisoners Auto attack bar and this is how it's going to look now the other add-on that I wanted to combine with this one right here is going to be details as you can see here it's going to track all the abilities we're using and give us our damage per second it's going to track everyone in your raid or group so that you can see everyone's DPS and you can actually see all of the spells that they're casting so if we hop out of cat form and Moonfire right here and then cast a wrath on this prisoner go bare form and just start Auto attacking it's going to track all of those things from the last time we entered combat so pretty much at the end of this let's take these guys down and then I'm going to show you guys how you can analyze this data to improve your own performance and see what other people in your raid are also doing if you click into your name or anyone in your party we're by ourselves right now so that's why we don't see anyone else um you can actually see how many times you casted ability how much of that how much percent damage was done from that ability right so 57% of my damage was my melee Auto attacks 15% was Maul 10% was claw 6% was Wrath and so on and so forth it shows you the targets that you casted these abilities on and it's really useful because when you're in a party or Raid they will all show up on the side here and you can see everything that everyone's doing now if you want to track healing done you would just go to this little sword icon right here just hover over it and these are all of the different things you can track you can track your DPS just straight up damage done damage taken if you're a tank and you want to see you know what's going on who's taking damage friendly fire kills and then you can do healing done heals per second overhealing healing taken damage prevented healing absorbed there's tons of awesome things in here you can see deaths so let's say you get a wipe in a raid or a dungeon and you want to see how people died you would select deaths and then you would see all the deaths here and you'd be able to click into it and kind of see you know how everyone died buff up time interrupts you know if you're struggling and people aren't interrupting things that need to be interrupted on bosses you could check that here and then one of the most important parts of this is that you can also check everyone's threat with tiny threat so basically if you want to turn this into a threat meter as well you're going to go to the little Cog wheel right here scroll up to plugins and click tiny threat now this is going to change the window into a threat window so you can see and make sure you don't pull aggro off your tanks another another great feature here though is you can have as many of these windows open as you want we can go to the Cog wheel click Window Control create a new window and then change this one to let's say DPS and then you can take this change the size of it by dragging the corners and then we can kind of bind it to that first one so these two will stay next to each other if you see the little uh numbers pop up and the little string you've now connected them and then you can lock these by hitting the bottom right where it says lock so now when we go into combat it's going to show us our DPS and our threat meter obviously we're top on threat right here because we're the only person attacking this defas captive but these two right here just for DPS and Tiny threat alone this is going to make this extremely worth it in the black fathom deeps raid at level 25 and all raids going forward all right guys so there you have it if you enjoyed this video hit that like button and subscribe to the channel turn on
