Since my first introduction to Worlf of Warcraft, I have been an addict, to the game that is. I am not here to boast about the game itself or why you should by it. I am here to talk about its interface and the Mods which I use, I am here to share them with you as each character and person has their own taste, this is what fits me the best and what allows for easy access and navigation around the WoW(worlf of warcraft) world.
I'll begin with the baisic compilation I have decided to use and that is Cosmos. It comes with many useful features but what many don't know is the handy tool Khaos which is an all in one GUI to easily configure your mods. However, Khaos doesn't work with all mods it works will all the ones that come bundled with Cosmos, and I use most of them. To continue I will list the addons I use and what they do.
So here is the list
Improved Error Frame - this little addon gives greater detail regarding errors which may be occuring as well as provides the lines on which the errors are forming on which can be very helpful towards developers to fix these issues
Ace - This is an addon which is needed to run several other addons such as the two I use which are KC_AutoRepair and KC_Mobility.
KC_Autorepair - This allows for automatic repairs as NPC's which repair, I always forget to repair either my items or the things in my inventory, end up going to auction house and finding out i need to repair this saves me a lot of time. And is a dandy tool
KC_Mobility - This allows me to move anything on the interface with a press of the shift button and the right mouse click and drag it to its new location, it helps re arrange my playerframe and various other frames
Archeologist - This addon is one that comes with Cosmos and what it does is it adds and displays information for player bars,party bars and target bars in a method you choose. For example, Instead of having the health and mana prefix prior to the # you can remove them, and if you don't want the number but a percent that can be done as well. This is very easy customizeable through Khaos
Atlas - Another must have addon, it allows for easy navigation through an instance, it displays the entire instance map as well as location of quests and bosses
Auctioneer - A must have for all who use the AuctionHouse (AH) it searches auctions and gives you a list price for how much you should auction your item
AutoBuff - Amazing tool for all those characters who have buffs they always forget to turn on. For me my shaman always forgets Lighting Shield and Rockbitter weapon this little thing casts it everytime they go out. Its very simple to customize
Available Only - Not really an addon more of a hotfix but have you ever gone to your Class trainer and had to uncheck the hide unavailable just so you can find which skills you can purchase and which you can't, well for me i was getting pissed that i kept having to do this so i found this great addon which set that as teh defualt
BetterKeyBinding[cosmos] - Another must have addon allows for more keys to be binded through the options menu. (esc, key binding, and voila)
BGBuddy - A nice little addon for all those who enjoy BattleGrounds
BuffOptions[cosmos]- Has varios options for displaying buffs
Bufftimers - displays a little timer beneath the buff
CastOptions [Cosmos] - has many options for casting skills this is a must for all characters who have casts such as self cast
Chronos[cosmos] - not sure what this does but it is a neccessity for Cosmos to function
CleanMinimap - allows for the removal of various things on the minimap (not neccessary)
CPlayerBar - my action bars always hid my cast bar so this little thing replaces teh position of it and puts it behind player name in the playerframe
CT_RaidAssit - a must for all raiders
DiscordActionBars - I hate the default bars they have all this junk i dont need, but i love my DAB easy to setup (just need to bind a key to its options menu) To understand it is a sinch
EquipCompare [Cosmos] - This little thing is amazing its a little tooltip which is displayed when clicking on an item such as an armor it displays what you have equiped compared to what the mouse is on which is great when making comparisions because you dont need to memorize any numbers and stats
FlightPath - a little tool which displays flightpaths on the map (not minimap) it displays the paths connected with that flight path as well as the cost and displays flight time
Gatherer - keeps track of the mines,herbs you have gathered from
MobInfo2 - adds extra tooltip info to the creep as well as includes mobhealth which displays creep health and mana
MonkeyQuest - I love this little thing displays a bar which is customizeable and displays all your quests also say you need to kill Kobol Warriors when you place mouse over a Kobold warrior in the tooltip it will say how many you have killed/need which is quite handy so you dont need to keep checking your quest book
MozzFullWorldMap - Displays the full map even places unexplored although they will be shaded in another color
PartyQuests [cosmos] - a great little addon with loads of features for quests
QuickLoot [cosmos] - this makes it easier to loot, hides empty loot boxes etc
ReagentData - required for another addon called reagent helper
ReagentHelper - many times you see items but you dont know what they are, well this just adds a tooltip to the item that tells it which profession its required for whether its enchanting blacksmithing finshing engineering smelting alchemy etc
ReloadUI[cosmos] - allows you to reload the UI when you have completed some modifications through a hotkey press or command (/rl)
Restack - does at says restacks items to either numbers you have set out or to the max to save bagspace
Titan - A panel which has a lot of information such as honor, bag slots, time, xp / hour etc
Totem Timers - a must for all shamans displays a timer which lists the lenght a totem will last before it should be recast
That is all, these can all be found through
