Need some advice

Yeah, being gone for a long time really hurts. If you read some of my older posts, you must know I love AddOns. No problem there. But the thing is, from what I hear, Blizzard has actually done a great job integrating most of the useful stuff from addons into it's own frames.

So, without further ado, I'm in need of some advice (duh! that's the title, isn't it?). Should I just delete all of my addons and get used to the new Blizzard interface? Should I keep SOME of my addons (like ArkInventory and such)? Should I get some of the new addons? And if so, which ones?

I know, asking advices when you have 3-4 readers / day is a long shot, but I have to try :)

Damn addons!

I know, I know... 3 months, no posts again. Forgive meeeee!

Well, anyway... this is me again, your average DPS DK. Of course, level 80 know and having fun. The thing is, I love AddOns. Especially at level 80, where you kinda need 'em. Problem is, I need a user interface (UI). And most of them SUCK! So, I'm gonna have to make my own. I'm already working on it, and as soon as I have something, I'll post it here and maybe at wow.curse.com.

Thanks for your patience, enjoy your raiding and check back soon! I promise I'll be back every day now.

Recommended AddOns

As most of you probably know, World of Warcraft uses LUA, which means it allows for a lot of Interface customization. There are tons of AddOns out there, each with its own functionality. Most of them try to improve the WoW experience, a lot of them succeed in doing so.

Here's a list of the AddOns I'm curently using:

• ArcHUD2 - great addon that adds health and mana/energy bars for the player (and pet), enemy cast time and some other useful stuff.
• Auctioneer - scans the Auction House and helps by providing useful info like cheapest price for items or best price to use when posting an item in the Auction House.
• LightHeaded - provides information about most (if not all) quests in the game - actually reads forum posts about quests and brings them to you in the game so you don't have to Alt-Tab all the time.
• MobInfo3 - maintains a mob database with complete info on every mob you have encountered.
• Omen Threat Meter - Quote: OTM "provides accurate values of your group's relative threat level on individual enemies, so that you can see when you're in danger of pulling aggro (or, if you're next on the snack list if your tank bites it).
• QuestHelper - great for beginners and pros alike. It makes questing a lot faster, reducing downtime. Grab it!
• Recount - graphical damage meter. Nice and useful. (Note: there is another addon called Recount2, but it hasn't been updated for a long time)
• Titan Panel - adds a panel that can be customized to show a lot of useful information you may need.

Worth mentioning is that ArcHUD stopped being updated for a long time, so I was about to switch to another great HUD addon:

• IceHUD - looks a lot like ArcHUD (it's actually based on the same framework) so it has the same functionality.

... however, they updated it (ArcHUD) and it's now working with WotLK, so I haven't switched. Both addons are great so pick the one that suits you better.

As you might have noticed, a great site with tons of WoW AddOns and resources is Curse Gaming.

Enjoy! And if you have other addons worth mentioning, please post comments. Thanks in advance.
