    Post Name five add-ons you could not live without!

    Title says it all.

    Name five add-ons that you could not see yourself raid/pvp/play without.

    I'm interested in seeing the different lists, and I hope I discover some new add-ons! (The more the merrier, right? Well, that is until your computer shuts down due to the high CPU/Memory usage... sigh)


    My personal list is as follows:


    CooldownToGo

    - If you press a spell that is on cooldown, CTG will display a small timer in the middle of your screen, showing how many seconds you have to wait before you can cast that spell again.

    SnowFallKeyPress

    - Lightweight add-on that makes you casts spells and abilities as soon as you press the button, not after you release it.

    Imba.

    RatingBuster

    - Ever wondered how much crit 271 rating will give you? RatingBuster tells you just that. It also shows you how much Crit/Dodge/Parry you will get from stats like Agility and Strength. ex. 200 Agility (1.21% crit, 0.21% dodge)


    Xperl Unit Frames

    - Until just recently I always played with the standard Blizzard Unit frames. Sure, they do work - but after I upgraded my computer and screen I had to tune up the resolution, which made it hard to track my health and mana. (As it clogs in the top corner of your screen.) Xperl made it possible to move my Unit frame to a place where I can track such vital information.

    Minimap Button Frame

    - As I installed more and more addons, my minimap became clustered with small buttons. This little addon will gather up all of your add-on minimap buttons and put them into a movable frame which can easily be hidden to take up less space. I don't know how I managed to live without it, as I had 2-3 minimap buttons overlapping at any time.

    1. Carbonite
    Absolutely fantastic, love it for questing as well as the map and gathering functions.

    2. XPerl unit frames
    Have it set up for perfection, keeps everything in order and compact.

    3. Bartender
    Have all my bars set up in 2 rows with everything keybound to make it easy, keeps stuff small and compact.

    4. RatingBuster
    Just changes the rating into percentages. Helps a lot with optimizing things.

    5. Auctioneer and Postal
    For someone who whores the AH, this is essential. Auctioneer helps make every auction easier to set up and Postal allows you to pick up all your mail with 1 click of a button.

    True, I forgot to mention my Mail-pickup-addon as well. Great when you have hundreds of auctions to pick up every day!

    Just 5???

    Ok here's 5 i love

    Autobar - Gathers all thing in group 'buttons' that expand on hover giving all possible options eg Food, Mounts, Potions, Flasks.

    Bankitems - Lets you view the bank/guild vault or ANY char you have as it's main feature but the best part is if you hover over any item it say how many you have, which char has them and where they are (Bag, bank, mail etc)

    Bartender - Fully customisable action bar mod.

    Grid - Soooo much beter than default unit frame, awesome in raids.

    Outfitter - Like blizzards gear set selector but can be set to autoswitch under conditions, much more options.

    I know it's harsh. But I had to settle for a reasonable™ number!

    I was going to mention Grid in my top 5 but.. Post-4.0.1 it's been acting weird, sorting groups diagonally and so on..
    Also, it lacks the ability to adapt to the size of my raid in battlegrounds!

    Still my choice for Raid frames, though.

    GRID - I prefer it for the new blizzard raid frame.

    Bartender 4 - Easy customization of your action bar (Probably the one addon i just must have.)

    Mapster - Replaces blizzards world map so that you can see everything, even the places that you haven't discovered. (This is a MUST for everyone, if you don't have it, well... PUDDI on you, sir)

    Shadowed Unit Frames (SUF) - Replaces blizzards unit frames.

    Postal - Allows you to get all the attachments from your mail with one single click (Very useful if you shop alot in the auction house.)

    Strangle enough, my choices are exactly the same

    5?! I hardly even use 5.. I gots...
    DBM, Bagnon and Dominos.

    Only addons that are absolute must-haves for me are:

    As PvE DPS/Tank: Omen.
    As healer: Grid.
    In PvP: Gladius.

    The rest is just fluff and comfort for me(not to say they're not useful or timesaving, but I could and have lived without the rest). But if I were to add another two to that list I'd add SUF and Dominos(bar mod).
