Addons you HAVE to have

[WeeBaby]

I was talking about addons/mods with my brother and while I am a addon junkie, he uses very few of them. So the question came up. What addons would you absolutely have to have if you were limited to only being able to have 5-10 of them?

[Cralor]

• BigWigs or Deadly Boss Mods (Raider)
• LightHeaded (Leveling)
• Clique (Healer)
• CooldownCount or OmniCC
• DoubleWide
• Cartographer
• Examiner
• tekKompare
• tekJunkSeller
• TourGuide (Leveling)

[p3lim]

- some debug addon (currently using my own)
- oChat (modified to my likings)
- oUF + layout (my own)
- CooldownButtons
- TTell

guess thats it that im depending alot on, the rest is just for eyecandy / easage

tho i write my own addons

[Zokudu]

Chatter
Mapster
TomTom
a Unit Frames addon (I'm playing with oUF atm)
Bar mod (BT4 atm)
MSBT
OmniCC
CarboniteQuest (When Leveling)

Wow that seems like a lot =/ I'm addicted to addons

[hollymeP]

I have to have
Lightheaded
Doublewide
Tomtom
Alphamap
auctioneer
HealerButtons (Dont think I would want to heal without them)
OmniCC
oGlow
TBag
Spellcraft

I think if I was limited to 10 I would cry but I might be able to make it with just those. Might.

[Farook]

Addons that I couldn't play without:

Auctioneer
Bartender4
BigWigs
CowTip
MSBT
Omen
OmniCC
PallyPower
PitBull
Quartz
sRaidFrames
tekKompare

[Vyper]

wow no QuestHelper lovers here? I'm hurt. That said my list of beloved addons is much smaller.
*QuestHelper
*Auctioneer
*Healbot Continued (if healing)
*SSPVP3 (if PVPing)
*Automatic Gnome Therapist (great for spammers!)
GL!

[Dridzt]

-AutoProfitX
-BadApples
-ChatSounds
-EastWestPlus
-EasyCopy
-FluidFrames
-ItemRack
-MapNotes
-OmniCC
-Possessions
-RatingBuster
-RedRange
-sRaidFrames
-WIM
-XLoot*

15 and I was cringing every time I had to "cut" one :P
There's at least 20 more that are fighting to get on that list.

Note that my addon folder has some 200 addons or so
(not all active on the same character)
but the above are the ones that would seriously diminish the game if I didn't have on all.

Ops! I just re-read the OP.. you said 5-10 not 15, ouch.

[Psychophan7]

Dominos
Cartographer
Clique
PitBull
ArkInventory

I could do without Clique on non-healers, too.

[Evolution85]

In no particular order.

DBM
Elkanos buff bars
Omen
Recount
MSBT
Perfect raid
Rating Buster
Tip Tac

Someone forgot to read the last part of the OP

Can't imagine how I'd cope without:

Auctioneer
Some bar mod (Macaroon, right now, by choice)
Chatterbox
SimpleMail
Some coordinate mod
Combuctor (or some bag mod)
DevTools

Really very fond of:
Auditor
FuBar_LocationFu
FuBar_ExperienceFu
flagRSP (or equivalent)
Atlas or Cartographer
MobInfo or similar databases of mob drops
LightHeaded

There's a ton of other stuff I like having, but the big fundamental things for me are efficient auctioning, unified bags, and a ton of buttons.

[Aideenwolf]

UnitFrame (Bouncing between Pitbull and oUF while I learn code)
Dominos (Bar mod)
Grid
Clique
Autobar

ATM those 5 are my must haves.

ToolTip (lolTip atm)
Butsu
Squeenix
OmniCC
One bag mod (OneBag or Baganon)

[khurzog]

these 10 are my favorite, id of course have to pick some different ones to raid

Pitbull
Macaroon
WIM
Fubar (lol guess its gonna be blank)
Improved World Defense
DoTimer
Baggins
XLoot
Uberquest
Altoholic

[kappe]

bagnon
bt4
chinchilla
omnicc
elkano buff bars

prat
autobar
button facade
lern2count
spellbinder

Man all my add ons are so f----d up since the new patch, but im afraid to delete them because i'm not that computer savvy,afraid I will end up without any

[def9]

1. Bartender4
2. X-Perl
3. Fubar_BagFu
4. FuBar DurabilityFu
5. Fubar_MoneyFu
6. OmniCC
7. Omen
8. Mapster
9. Gatherer
10. teksloot

Like many others I have alot more running. The above listed were all I used for a week after ther 3.02 patch and I didn't explode without the rest of my addons running.

[Republic]

I don't have to have any. I learned in my first few patch days of hell not to get too dependent on anyone's mod. However, my vote for the best mod in terms of simplicity, play value, and overall support is hands down...

Clique

It vastly improves the user experience for anyone having to cast. I can do without all others, and technically can do without Clique, but I'd be a very miserable and disgruntled player if Clique packed it in and moved along to the Great Mods of the Past Graveyard.

Once again, great job Cladhaire!

One other mod I absolutely love, but not to the degree of Clique...

Bayi's Extended Questlog

It's yet another mod that really improves the user experience and is relatively simple to use and configure.
