Required Addons

Lissander · Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 1:47 pm Post subject: Required Addons

We have a number of required Addons that make Raiding easier. Please make sure you install all of these before attending the raid

Wherever possible, we recommend Ace2 compatible addons becuase they are much easier to update! Go to http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WinAceUpdater and choose either download option. Run the setup afterwards. It will find your wow directory, index the addons you currently have and allow you to install new addons from the list (right-click on the addon, choose Install)

Everyone

Omen Threat Meter

Required by all melee, ranged and casters. Over-aggroing at this level is a big no-no - use Omen and make sure you don't! The new version will also show you healer aggro.

Latest version always available from http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Omen if not using the wow-ace updater

Ora2
Replacement (& compatible with) Raid Assist. This makes seeing MT targets a breeze!
Details on http://www.wowace.com/wiki/ORA2 Download link is here but you need to click on the oRA2 link to get the latest version (or use WAU)
Does not do Raid Frames like CT_RA does, but is much more lightweight. Suggested alternatives for Raid Frames are sRaidFrames, Grid or PitBull

Big Wigs

Provides warnings + notification for Boss fights, such as timers etc. Greatly helps you react to important events that happen

Via WoW Ace Updater or http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=5086

Healers

Ventrilo

Not an addon, but an application that provides Voice chat. You need this to listen to instructions. A microphone is preferred but not essential.

Download from http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
Choose Client version 3.0.1 for your OS (Windows or Mac)

Our Vent server details are in a separate post or on the front page of our website

Decursive

Clears the target of curses+debuffs by simply mousing over. Essential for fast cleansing.

Wow Ace Updater or http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4937-Decursive2.0-Ace2.html

Grid is not required, but comes highly recommended. Shows health bars for the raid and together with Clique allows single click casting of spells. Additionally does colouring+debuffing

Available from http://files.wowace.com/

Solarian Alarm

Turns your screen blue when you have Wrath of the Astromancer. This means you can easily see the debuff and run away from the raid. Required for Solarian fight and available from Curse Gaming. Latest version is here

Pally Power

This should be a required addon for all paladins, whether they are healing, tanking or dps. This addon allows you to specify which greater blessings can be applied to each class, and you can easily check who has your blessings, or not, and how much time is remaining before they expire. Can also be used by the raid leader or assistant to have some control over who buffs each class with what.

Hmm - isn´t it some way possible to build/set up an UniUploader, that auto takes care of us all, and see to that we´re having the correct and updated addons, required by Mutiny, installed Question

Dunno how and if it works (since í´m not a blizz-wizz), but think it´s possible to generate a guild-specific addon collection Idea

Cheers
