Do you want a prettier screen to look at, do you need help in PvP, do you need help raiding? Questing? Or do you just want some sound effects or even Lore-style music. So before you venture further, ask yourself what you want your addons to do for you. Beyond that, there are PvE addons which make raiding ten times easier by telling you when the boss is about to use a devastating AoE, to give you enough time to get out of the way. Then there are PvP addons that can help you keep track of enemy targets so that you know which ones are Blinded or Feared so you know not to attack them.
Some addons add sounds to the game, so that when you land a critical strike you might hear FPS Doug scream 'BOOM HEADSHOT' in the background. It may change the display, modifying the way your icons and mouse curser look and behave. There are a few posts regarding the best, most useful addons but how do you install them? Well it's very simple and takes less than a minute (depending on the quality of your computer of course ), and this guide will point you in the right direction if you need help finding and installing addons to be used in-game on WoW.Īn addon/plugin basically changes the way you play the game. For many of us, addon installation is a basic process - but a post made recently reminded me that at one point in time I had no clue where and how to download addons for World of Warcraft.
