Dialogue UI is wonderful for ease of reading, and a more dynamic camera angle when speaking to NPCs. Soon it will have a scrolling layout for multiple pages from in game books and what not, TTS, etc., and is made by the Narcissus dev Peter Yu! He's the best!
I relate to this greatly, I cannot play without it and would agree it's a curse and a blessing, I find myself going off course and going down a rabbit hole for hours because I saw an ATT tooltip for a certain item, rep, or mount etc. in the middle of nowhere.
I want to mention Plumber as one of my favorites. It doesnt do something major, but you feel the before after difference. (Adds previous bronze-silver-gold awards to dragonraces icons in npcs, shows each general reputation rank on severed threads rep, sorts crests visuals in npc vendors, gets rid of talking heads...)
Thank you for doing this. I have played on and off for a long time and I am finally playing now. I haven't ever installed add-ons, but now I have a place to start investigating!
Great Video, I have most of these or something similar. One Addon I really like is called Immersion, it makes the quest text a lot more immersive and easier to read if you care about that sort of thing. I also really like an addon called "Skyriding/Dragonriding Glider" it changes the dragonriding bar into a compact circle and it also shows your speed... I couldn't believe how helpful it was to understand how dragonriding speed works. I went from barely getting silver medals in races to getting like 10 seconds under gold sometimes.
As a casual player of many years, I've only dabbled in to mods a tiny bit, however I've been hitting more of the achievements in TWW, and so so many of these mods will help me tremendously. Thank you for this video!
Thanks, 3 new addons added! One of my must have is GTFO. All the things are a curse, because now I really have to get anything, including other type of gear, as wow changed the way anything adds to collection!
Thank you for this list. I will definitely be using some of these (some I already do). A couple of other addons I find useful, or just cool are Immersion which turns your quest text into a little mini-movie instead. Definitely makes me read the quest text now so I get more immersed (lol) in the story. If you're a tmog guru like me, Can I Mog It? is extremely useful at keeping track of which transmog gear you've already collected, which gear has the same look from other piece or just which ones you still need.
I use to have an addon manager called Too Many Addons that let you load addon profiles... finished dailies and going to the AH, switch to the AH profile, join LFR, load the raid profile, running old content? swap to that profile. I think I have simple addon manager now. may I suggest, if you read this, and your good at slogging through the options... Arkinventory for a bag addon, like baganator... but you decide what gets grouped up and how.
Mount Journal Enhanced shows rarity and when you got the toys, pets and mounts, how long and the distance of mount you've ridden it, and adds new filters and display orders. Kind of like Narccisus but for mounts, pets and other collectables. Then theres Cell, which is basically the other popular healer raid frame addons combined into one.
Hekili is awesome! It makes classes like enh sham where you are having to react to procs so much more enjoyable.

For me I have a few must have addons: - scrolling combat text & scrolling combat text damage: Both show the combat text more visually allow me to understand better what I'm doing if something is wrong - WIM: Makes it easier for me to keep track of chats and shows the previous chat when someone whispers me - BetterInbox: Adds an openall button with an option which messages to include in open all - Prat: General chat box enhancements and notification sounds for chat messages in e.g. party and guild chat - Plater: Better nameplates that can be customized akin to WeakAuras - Plexus: A replacement for Grid1; An addon that shows the raid/party in a grid of small boxes that indicate the status of the member with life, if they are attacked and what debuffs they which can be dispelled and/or if they are from a boss There are more but I don't want to the list to long. But what I want to leave is that not all addons can be found on Curse because of the shady things that happened there since Overwolf took over.
Been following for a good while now, never really commented. But i love your energy, youre kind and entertaining and im glad you are enjoying wow again
Nice list, if a little heavy on the QoL side of things. Ones that I feel no list like this should be without: * Weak Auras * VuhDo (or equivalent) * GTFO Will be adding some of your recommendations to my installed mods for sure! :) Thank you for making this video.
Absolute must try addons: 1. Dialogue UI -Changes and makes quest windows more immersive (awesome addon) 2. - VoiceOver-Mod(Retail) - VoiceOver Sounds- WarWithin (en_US) If you are into the actual story of the quests but hate reading it, this addon uses AI to voiceover the quest dialogue (it is amazing) 3. No Auto Close - Simple addon that stops windows closing when you open another window, allowing multiple windows open at the same time 4. BtWQuests- Great addon for tracking quest chains and the order of the quests needed for them. Great for loremaster stuff and works well with TomTom 5. BetterBags is also another great bag addon that sorts all of your items into their own categories to easily find things
Hmm, thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try BTWQuests, because I've been going after Loremaster on my lower level toons, and sometimes it's hard to find where a quest chain that I need starts.
One thing everyone should know: DBM uses a LOT of memory. There is another addon, BigWigs, that does the same thing an uses much less memory. There is also a dungeon version: LittleWigs. While DBM does both, Big and LittleWigs together still use less memory. Also, IMO Tome Of Teleportation is a much better way of controlling your hearths and teleports. Any port available to your character, including collected direct dungeon ports, will be in there. It even covers items you might ned to equip, like the old Karazhan shoes or the Cartel Xy item. Opie is still good for many other things though and I do recommend that one as well. Baganator: Not a fan. I hate "one bag" addons. Personally I use ElvUI and the bag mod included works great. If you like "one bag" it does that by default and you have to turn it off.
I switched to BigWigs & LittleWigs a few weeks ago after using DBM for roughly 15+ years. Now Im wondering why I never bothered to try it earlier. It looks cleaner, less memory, the sounds are more pleasant.
Just joined your guild, and so excited to experience the raiding in a guild, that i have not done for years....like 12 years i think :( The addons help soooooooo much Thank you :)
As a mage, I like the sheep monitor which shows the time left on a polymorph target as a progress bar. I think it will work with other classes, for example the warlock banish.
WarmUp is a must have. It shows you how much loading time each addon adds so you know how many seconds extra you have to wait because of an addon. Removing addons that add a lot of time makes it so much nicer tho play with all the different loading screens
Fantastic job and Addons (I had most already (and many more), but thanks to you I added 3 or 4 more). Great job presenting them. Looking forward to more content.
Rematch, Battle Pet Breeds, tdBattlePetScripts, and BattlePetBinds... then go down the rabbit hole on Xu-Fu with an army of rabbits to become The Very Best Shirt.
Hi Zep, welcome back to wow. Another addon that once you use it, it is hard to live without is plater. Anyone who wants to do anything but base level content will find this very helpful. DBM can actually be replaced by the weakaura packs from the world first guilds once they are done, not to mention all the other things weakauras can do for you.
Death Note is the best addon for an advanced death log. It has gotten regular updates again. It helps sifting through the combat log like no other addon of that kind. Makes it easier to see the events ahead of your latests death(s). Not to be used for shaming though, that mindset doesn't help anyone.
@@littlemudlost I use Immersive. It’s great. It gives customisable options for absolutely everything. Everything from contextual fading options to mouse-over options.
Talking of Narcissus addon, I can suggest perhaps looking at the creators other two addons Plumber and Dialogue UI as choices, both brilliant Dialogue UI especially makes questing so much more interactive.
Are you a Libra? You remind me so much of me LOL, you even use the same phrases I do I love this, you are part of the tribe!!! This video was so informative I used all these except for Leatrix and omg I am sick of the lucky do's and loot!!! Auto delete was just chef's kiss! Great job on this video :)
I love addons too -- I have some of the ones you listed, but I REALLY don't like playing the game without the Z-Perl UI. I've been using Z-Perl for yeeears and when I try to play without it, it's much less enjoyable for me :) Also I like to have data immediately visible, so I love Tiitan Panel. I prefer Bagnon, but have used Baganator and like that one too. I want to try OPie though!! Looks interesting!!
Handynotes is great, I just wish it had an option to add extra icons. I've been using the moon to mark mine and cave entrances, but a dedicated icon would be nice. Also I'd add bi-directional icons for marking paths, eg ,
Dragon Rider for a speedometer for skyriding. Not so much "wheee, looky how fast I'm going!" as being able to tell when your speed is just barely increasing, for getting maximum distance for the height. Just fudge pitch until is good. Pity Bliz yanked the ability to query pitch several years ago. MySlot for saving an entire macro / toolbar / talent setup. If you decide to make your new race the same class and spec of an older toon, MySlot is great for just copying that setup over. Awful to have two of same class/spec with slightly different setups so that you can't remember which one has which spell, and where. Armory for keeping track of where all your stuff is, and which toons might need it.
I basically use all of these addons (and many more) lol Except I've been a long time Bagnon user. I'm going to give Baganator a try, since Bagnon isn't quite meeting my needs anymore.
yesss not enough people try out Opie. I feel like I should be sponsored by them because of how much I push this in my guild. there's classes I wouldn't play without it now.
It's crazy what you can do with addons if you actually know what they do XD I didn't know my addons could do half this stuff. Would love to see a deep dive into narcissus.
You really are the Queen of AddOns! 👸So here's a question for you: Do you know of an AddOn that allows you to hide the animations when casting spells? As a Frost Mage, I sometimes can't even see my target because of all the spell animations... 😂And thank you for your great overview of the add-ons you use. I will definitely take a closer look at a few of them!
The best part of not using any addons besides meters is that when people ask why you didn’t perfectly do mechanics, the answer makes them more mad than the failed mechanic. Wow is more fun to play without addons.
Dialogue UI is wonderful for ease of reading, and a more dynamic camera angle when speaking to NPCs. Soon it will have a scrolling layout for multiple pages from in game books and what not, TTS, etc., and is made by the Narcissus dev Peter Yu! He's the best!
I honestly find it insane that an addon like MoveAny isn't just standard in the game.
ATT is great if you like to collect things but are not a completionist. If you ARE a completionist, it'll ruin your life, and this is not a joke.
I relate to this greatly, I cannot play without it and would agree it's a curse and a blessing, I find myself going off course and going down a rabbit hole for hours because I saw an ATT tooltip for a certain item, rep, or mount etc. in the middle of nowhere.
I'm not a completionist, but I can feel the seriousness of this comment.
It's a blessing/curse for the transmog market on the ah as well by exposing how many items share the same model and if they are unobtainable.
and it all starts with playing happy melodies whenever you collect something
I would only bother being a completionist if i went back in time to when the game released. It's not worth it for new accounts
I want to mention Plumber as one of my favorites. It doesnt do something major, but you feel the before after difference.
(Adds previous bronze-silver-gold awards to dragonraces icons in npcs, shows each general reputation rank on severed threads rep, sorts crests visuals in npc vendors, gets rid of talking heads...)

dialogue is a good alternative to immersion as well
@@justcus Personally I prefer immersion but yes ;D
Thank you. The chat dialog box in a dungeon has been annoying me. Didn't know there was an addon for this.
Or just get elvui?? Does like most of these add-ons all in one addon

Have you tried Dialogue UI? I find it way better than Immersion
@@Peshyy no I haven't. I'll take a look
@@Peshyy especially dark mode
+1 to Dialog UI
@@Peshyy I Second this. I have switched for this xpac as well.
Man I honestly didn't think I'd watch the whole video but these add-ons and you were amazing

I cant live without HEKILI Addon :P
Thanx for a good vid about addons. I deffinitly are gonna add some addons tonight Move Any and better Wardrobe ;)

- Prat: General chat box enhancements and notification sounds for chat messages in e.g. party and guild chat
- Plater: Better nameplates that can be customized akin to WeakAuras
- Plexus: A replacement for Grid1; An addon that shows the raid/party in a grid of small boxes that indicate the status of the member with life, if they are attacked and what debuffs they which can be dispelled and/or if they are from a boss
There are more but I don't want to the list to long. But what I want to leave is that not all addons can be found on Curse because of the shady things that happened there since Overwolf took over.

Ai is built on theft, don't support that unethical trash...
It shouldn't even be legal to begin with and likely isn't...
Hmm, thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try BTWQuests, because I've been going after Loremaster on my lower level toons, and sometimes it's hard to find where a quest chain that I need starts.
its Noautoclose or it wont find the addon
BTW Quests ----- HOLY CRAP, love that doing quests
At last a clear Video that does not drag on for hours and not tell you anything .. I will down load some of these today thank you so much.
This was the most informative, best helpful and funniest WoW video I've ever seen - thank you!! 🤣❤
You definitely showed some that not everyone else does. I have added a few. Thank you! I really hope you do more of these! =)

Great addon video. Thank you! As soon as AdiBags stopped being dealt with, I went straight to Baginator and I love it!
As a mage, I like the sheep monitor which shows the time left on a polymorph target as a progress bar.
I think it will work with other classes, for example the warlock banish.
Omg literally just followed along and installed each one lmaoo tysm zepla!
I watched your videos when I played FFXIV. Glad to see you also play Wow.
Install Leatrix and looking for the NPC groaning sound to turn that off.
Moveany just saved my life because I hate having the loss of control windows right on my char. Very useful !
Thanks a lot for this lively, fun and informative video.
I love addons and I'd love another addon vid! The addon Keybind Profiles is essential. It makes it so you can have different keybinds for each SPEC!
I'm a packrat, so ATT is my favorite addon. Only thing I would say about it.. It's huge! I just learned to live with longer loading screens. :D
A very good compilation. I do wanna say though that the addon "all the things" might come with some performance hits.
Thanks for the tip on Baganator! I've been a long time Bagnon user but Baganator is a game changer.
MoveAny is about to change my life. Thanks!

Bagonator is incredible! Better Wardrobe too! (actually all of them are very useful).
picked up handy notes after double checking that it works with Silver dragon
Not often I get suggested an addon that I don't have, thanks you turned me on to a couple I will use.

Great video Zepla 😃
Better Wardrobe always gives me weird annoying errors... it came to a point where I got so annoyed by it that I uninstalled it again.
U're not alone, too Bad because i like this addon :/
I'm a BIG fan of MoveAny!
Awesome list! I'd love to watch another one, addons make wow so much better!
Very insightful. Thanks! Subbed :)
Narcissus, if you don't have it, is kinda game changing
Love your energy 😁
I am on the hunt for a good controller crosshotbar add-on. Coming back after 11 years but I don't wanna give up my FFXIV playstyle.
ConsolePort is pretty much the premier addon for controller play. I like to combine this with Immersion and DynamicCam for an even better experience.
Might have to pick up that OPie addon!
It's crazy what you can do with addons if you actually know what they do XD I didn't know my addons could do half this stuff. Would love to see a deep dive into narcissus.
- How old are you?
- Something between 16 and 36.
