Titans panel is kind of a beginners plug in, does a lot of things.

all right for helpful tools grab yourself cosmos alpha, its got pretty much everything you need, dps meter is of course from curse-gaming.com, but with cosmos alpha theres a bunch of addons bundled in it that you can choose from when you instal, like for instance alphamap atlaslootFU cooldown timer all those helpful little things, if you get a recent version you might even be lucky and get KTM threat meter with it. for UIs i prefer the stock UI as it is the easiest to use and doesnt mess to much stuff up, just send me a message some time and ill find ya any addon/UI you need.

^^ thanks ill get back to you... you guys have been very helpfull

no problem, it's what we do, once again if you have any further concerns about Addons/UIs just gimme a hit.

The following is my OPINION as to what the general player's set up should be, if anyone disagrees I really don't wanna hear it.

I've screwed with almost every bigger named mod there is for WoW being an avid player since beta, the most efficient set-up that I personally can give you would be the following:

1. X-Perl Unit Frames - It's an interface mod, basically changes the way your party frames and what not looks like. (takes maybe 15-20 minutes to set up 100% to your liking)

2. Deadly Boss Mods - This mod helps a lot with instances, tells you when bosses will use special moves and other helpful things of that nature. (Much more necessary at level 70 but still helps)
Deadly Boss Mods (La Vendetta) | Downloads

3. Atlas Mod - It's a mod that gives you instance maps and tells you what bosses are where. The Lootlink Enhance Addition tells you what items they drop at what % chance.

4. Scrolling Combat Text - This mod makes damage tracking much easier. (You also might want to also customize this)
Scrolling Combat Text - Reckon | Downloads

5. SW-Stats - For party damage meters and other miscellaneous statistics.

________________________________

Everything else that you might want is generally going to be class specific. Most of the other mods I've come to find are a little too cluttery for my liking.

Anyway man, hope this helps.

P.S. If you tell me what class you are I can hook you up with some class specific mods.

Thanks for the link kurups, I'm making a thread on beginner's WoW mods soon and this info helps a lot.

**kurups** · 08-24-2007, 06:44 AM

Definitely man, I've been playing WoW since release all sorts of classes, I've got a pretty good knowledge base on the game if you need any information.

Definite for ******s i would keep the normal panel which is still find easiest, the titan panel and atlas loot and ktm meter for dungeons is the basics.
