Why Use Addons?
Addons are an essential part of playing WoW efficiently. They enhance the default UI, provide better visibility of key information, and automate certain tasks. Whether you’re a casual player, raider, or PvPer, having the right addons can make a huge difference.
Essential Addons I Use
Here are some of the best addons I personally use and recommend:
1. Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) / BigWigs
📌 Category: Raid & Dungeon Alerts
These addons provide essential warnings and timers for boss fights. If you raid or run dungeons, having either DBM or BigWigs is a must. They help you anticipate mechanics, dodge deadly abilities, and improve overall raid awareness.
2. Details! Damage Meter

Want to know how much damage or healing you’re doing? Details! is a powerful and lightweight addon that tracks your performance in real-time. It’s great for improving your rotations and analyzing raid encounters.
