2.1.1. Azerite Tooltip
AzeriteTooltipwill show what traits are available for an Azerite armor piece for yourspecialization in the tooltip when moused over.
2.1.2. ElvUI
Here, at Icy Veins, we useElvUIfor all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the defaultUser Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly:action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.
We strongly recommend that you get this addon and our forum moderator Pandacho has writtena quick configuration guide for it.
2.1.3. Weak Auras
WeakAuras is anextremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisableand it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play yourspec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of otherfunctions.
2.1.4. Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs
Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give youlive advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you toget one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly useDeadly Boss Mods,the most popular boss mod. A good alternative isBig Wigs.
2.1.5. Details!
'Details!' Damage Meter is a real-time DPS/HPS meter with a lot of additional functionality such as being able to see cooldowns, buffs, debuffs, damage done to specific targets, and statistical analysis. In our opinion, it is superior to Skada in terms of functionality, although it is slightly more complicated to configure. We recommend Details! as your default damage meter, but if you prefer something easier, then Skada is still a good option.
2.1.6. GTFO
GTFO is a lightweightaddon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when youare making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod isalready alerting you of such things.
2.1.7. Hekili
Hekili is avisual rotation aid that gives a visual cue to help players better grasp themoment-to-moment gameplay that can sometimes be overwhelming. It is regularlyupdated to align with new simulation profiles as and when they are created, andwe highly recommend it as a tool both to learn with and as a helping hand tosteer you along the right path, even for experienced players.
2.1.8. Pawn
Pawn is an add-on thatcalculates the value of items based on the stat weights you input for yourcharacter. The best thing is to use SimulationCraft to get the stat weights foryour own character.
