World of Warcraft Add Ons, and you

Hey guys! Tristie here, and I pretty much just got back home a few hours ago, so now that I'm suffering from severe jet lag, please try not to judge this next post to harshly! 

Add Ons! Now a lot of people have been asking me about my UI (User Interface) for World of Warcraft, and well, here's a glimpse:

I know, I know, it's not the prettiest thing in the World... of Warcraft, but the important part of this is I managed to find a streamlined balance between the Add Ons I  NEED and the Add Ons I DON'T.

 
Screw your balance! I need all these!

This concept is important, because if you end up over loading your User Interface with useless Add Ons, that brand new AMD Radeon  graphics card will be utterly useless. So finding balance is key. Here is a list of Add Ons I am currently using for my Warrior:

  • Gladius
  • Doom_CooldownPulse
  • RazerNaga
  • Deadly Boss Mods

Now at first glance that may not seem like a lot, and you're right, because it isn't a lot. I hand picked the Add Ons I knew would better my game play, although the cross over between PvP to PvE based Add Ons can be rough, the core things you always want in an Add On package are new action bars, a cool down monitor, and Deadly Boss Mods, because everyone needs Deadly Boss Mods... EVERYONE.

                            Unless if you're an Arcane Mage, in which case, carry on:

                                                         It's all I need...

Aside from all this, the number one reason people don't bother with Add Ons is because they don't know either A) How to install them. Or B) How to find, and get them.

One word to both: Curse.

Curse happens to be the number one website for all Add Ons on every major MMORPG, and you can find them here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/default.aspx

And if you're not the technical type who likes getting into their World of Warcraft folder to manually insert Add Ons, Curse provides an easy to use interface which you can down load to keep track of all your Add Ons and even automatically update them when patch day comes around:

I hope you guys enjoyed this... guide? and as always, have fun, play to win.
