[H2P] Addon Guide - DPS -- 10/18/12 (MoP Edition)

[Veiled]

Added NeedToKnow... I think the last time I'd checked, it hadn't been updated for MoP yet. Thanks!

I still swear by PowerAuras, I feel it has more vanity options than WeakAuras and once you figure out the new interface, it's quite simple to use.

Elkano Buff Bars has been updated for those that were still wondering
if it was.

Gotta say, ElvUI is a life-saver. Couldn't stand the default blizzUI (seriously, how many different places do they expect someone to look in a fight?) But don't really have the time to setup a custom UI at the moment. ElvUI is good looking and has a great layout out of the box. Thanks for the guide.

WeakAuras can do things you never thought would be possible. It's animation system blows PowerAura's out of the water - you just need to figure out how to use it, it's not all point & click.

You should add Dothaste to the addon list: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/dothaste

I would like to throw HaloPro out there to be added to the list.

Version 1.3 has been flawless in MSV.

It is extremely accurate and I have it tuned to incorporate the Halo bug (which other range addons do not do, so they can show you in proper range but still miss - HaloPro will never miss with a green light). I have manually spent hours and hours and gotten feedback from other priests that a green light does produce the best damage with Halo.

It's very customizable, and I add new features as the community requests them, and it is tailored specifically to Halo.

I also believe it is a very important tool to priests as without a range addon, you're always somewhat guessing at your range. If nothing else, by having, and practising, with an addon such as this you get a much better feel for proper range and are able to anticipate and move quickly to proper position for Halo as it comes off cd. Know the sweet spots in your strategy to stand for it etc. Again with an addon like this, you're relying on using other 30 yard range spells for indicators (and probably missing or doing less damage as a result due to the Halo bug), or not maxing Halo's potential.

I wanted to make sure HaloPro was up to snuff before posting a recommendation for it, and v1.3 is ready imo. :)

I meant to add it once MoP was released and completely forgot. It's added now!

HaloPro is a really nice one :) Sometimes i have to make /reloadui because it won´t work :/

What's so bad about MFClip? I like it, because it tells me, when I can clip my dots :) I would like to have something like that as settings for Weak Auras xD Possible? What are better choices for this MFClip (i don´t use castbar or anything else, just the livebars for Dots)?

Castbar: I'm using Gnosis atm, but i'm not really satisfied with it, it looks so toony :/ Does someone have good other choices, or is Quartz the only good one? xD

Buffs: I don't like buffbars anymore, they are taking away so much space :/ I'm using PhanxBuffs atm. Masque works with that and it have Timers to show, when Buffs are running out.

Sorry for my bad english, it isn't my mother Language :)

MF Clip was designed when our rotation was more static. With the new Talents our rotation can be quite different between specializations, making this Addon nearly impossible to be properly updated in a way that would retain it's original function.

Gnosis cast bar is highly customizable. Here's pretty much what mine looks like.


Raven is my current favorite addon for Buffs and Debuffs. Very customizable and able to do many things.
