Top 10 wow addons - your opinion?

[Deleted]

Hi guys!

I am considering to make a youtube guide with the headline idea just being "Top 10 Wow Addons". I like making guides and practising my video editing skills. I think I'm pretty good with wow addons, so I think I might be able to make a usefull guide.

My list so far (yes, there is more than 10):
- AtlasLoot Enhanced
- Deadly Boss Mods
- Bartender4
- Recount/Skada
- TidyPlates
- PlateBuffs
- TellMeWhen
- Pitbull/Xperl/Shadow unit/unitframes addon
- SexyMap
- GatherMate2
- Quartz
- GTFO
- OmniCC

Now, I could easily just choose 10 of my own addons and then make the guide from that. And I allready have a pretty good idea of which addons I absolutely want to include in my guide - but I would really like to get some feedback before I put in countless of hours.
I know it will be totally impossible to make everyone agree on "THE" best 10 addons in WoW, but I would love your opinions - also to check if I completely missed a great addon that everyone must have.
The addon should not be specific to PvP or Raiding, but should ideally be something that will be used by the average wow-player who does a bit of everything.

I made one addon guide about PlateBuffs/TidyPlates a few weeks back if anyone is interested in seeing something I've made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAjXJT0lKwY

10 might be a bit much, I can't think of 10 addons I use that are so great and essential I'd list them. 5 seems more reasonable.

1. WeakAuras
2. DBM
3. Skada
4. [Insert Generic Raid Frame Addon Here] - I use CompactRaid
5. TidyPlates

EDIT: Sorry didn't read the OP properly.

Bartender, TellMeWhen, OmniCC deserve to be in that aswell.

[Queen of Hamsters]

1. Bartender4
2. Bagnon
3. Atlasloot
4. DBM (good to have but I cleared ICC without even knowing it existed, was never a problem)
5. Clique and Grid2 for my healers, always combined so counting as one.

I don't use 10 addons <.<.

The only addon I would add to your list is WeakAuras . Although I never used some of your addons (SexyMap, GTFO, PlateBuffs, TellMeWhen), they are still very popular, so they can't be that bad . Do you want to make a Video about addons in general or focus on combat/ui style/etc addons?

My top 5 would be:
1. WeakAuras2
2. DBM
3. Recount/Skada
4. OmniCC
5. Bartender4

My top 5 would be:
1. Bartender4
2. DeadlyBossMod
3. Shadowed Unit Frames
4. OmniCC
5. Bagnon + Bagbrother

[Draenox]

Weak Auras, DBM, Skada, OmniCC, Atlasloot Enhanced, Shadowed Unit Frames, Dominos action bars, Bagnon, Quartz, MikScrollingBattleText, Prat 3.0, SexyMap.

Thats a bit more than 10, but all of them are very integral to my UI and I wouldnt be happy if I had to play without any of them.

[Erous]

I'm assuming you mean current addons. If you were to ask me of all time...now I can think of a few. But not 10

1. Bagnon
2. OmniCC
3. Deadlybossmods
4. Cosmos
5. PallyPower

[Qallut]

PvE
Weak Auras
GTFO
DBM

PvP
Gladius


There are a lot of very good addons like Bartender, Adibags, Atlasloot, Recount, OmniCC, Prat that are very good, but imo those top 4 are pretty essential (for me) for playing well.

[Ryme]

BigWigs
Skada
TradeSkillMaster
WeakAuras
MSBT

Only ones I consider worthy of listing, really.

[grexly75]

Since I use Mayron UI the bulk of my addons are included..
But added ones are:
Bagnon
DBM
GTFO
Flo Totem Bar
Recount
WIM / Cellular

[Drayarr]

Weak Auras has to be top tbh
Everything else is pretty much irrelevant given what you can do with WA

[Toiran]

Weakauras
Bigwigs
Skada
Auctionator
Rarity
Postal + Bags
FishingBuddy
OmniCC

-Elvui - compilation yes but honourable mention.

I like how Omen isn't listed by anyone anymore, that's how hard it is to pull aggro in a raid haha.

Hmmm.. considering I use like 35 addons it might be hard to pick 10 :P Lets see...

UI:
- Domino's
- MSBT
- KgPanels
- Stuf
- ForteXorcist
- Grid
- Raven
- Quartz
- TMW

Utility:
- Skada / Recount (using both)
- Tidyplates
- DBM/DPM (Boss and PVP mods, although I barely PvE)
- Gladius / GladiatorLOSSA

Gameplay enhance:
- Atlasloot / Auctioneer
- Mogit
- Leatrix Plus


And loads more which add lil, but for me valuable things to my UI build :P But I'd leave out the enhancing and kgpanels, dbm/dpm and skada/recount if I'd really have to pick 10.

[Flaaffy]

1: Bigwigs
2: Weak Auras
3: Bagon
4: Mr.Plow
5: Extra CD
6: Gladius
7: Bartender
8: Move anything
9: Postal
10: Tidy Plates

(I don't use all of these and they are not in any specific order)

[shanthi]

There's no addon I couldn't live without, but Weak Auras is the closest.

Excellent ideas coming up. Cant believe I missed Weak Auras from my list...

[Alvito]

WeakAuras is 1 - 8
Bartender
