Let’s start with the 5 addons that have found their way to home users the most.
Deadly Boss Mods
This helper is clearly the most popular of all. It is a valuable companion for dungeons or raids, as it shows the boss abilities. Displayed in a nice and clear timer that can be adjusted as desired. And you should do that because in the default mode, almost everything is displayed, and you will quickly be flooded with information.
Furthermore, one must always be aware that especially with a patch, the timers may not be correct. It is therefore recommended to take a look at the boss, as he usually announces his abilities visually. The alternative to DBM is BigWigs Bossmods; some of you even use both and adjust them depending on the boss fight.
Recount
Number 2 is the DPS meter. However, it does much more than just display the damage dealt. You also receive information about the damage taken or the healing done. This allows you to evaluate, for example, what you died from.
Anyone using boss mods for dungeons therefore simultaneously uses one of these meters. They are essential components and are expected by almost every raid group. For those who cannot warm up to Recount, Skada Damage Meter is an alternative.
Master Plan
Master Plan adjusts the interface of the garrison somewhat. It also suggests a composition of the followers for the missions. Completing these tasks goes noticeably faster. A valuable addon for anyone with a large following.
_NPCScan
This program is used to help find specific mobs more easily. Even back then, something like this was quite useful to find, for example, the time-lost proto-drake in Northrend. For some of you, it only became interesting with Warlords of Draenor. Because this introduced numerous rare enemies that now all needed to be found.
HandyNotes and HandyNotes_DraenorTreasures
HandyNotes is an addition for the map and displays numerous information on it. With plugins, you get even more, like the locations of treasures in Draenor. Those who want to fly must find these, and you can use this addon for that.
