IcyHot's Minimalist Guide

Some of you out there are trying to preserve every ounce of the original WoW experience possible, and that is super cool and I have a ton of respect for you for taking this approach. If this is you, then consider that these addons will be expected by virtually any raid leader, unless you have found a guild of no addon purists like yourself!

DEADLY BOSS MODS

This is a must for raids. No setup needed. It will tell you when your being a dumb-ass, and if you are a dumb-ass all the time (me) it will tell you generally what to do in the fight. This is because dumb-asses didn't read about the boss first.

THREAT PLATES CLASSIC  or CLASSIC THREATMETER

These specific addons may not be exactly what your Raid Leader expects, however, they will expect you to have a reasonable way to identify threat on a target, before said target runs over to two shot ya you squishy bastard.

DETAILS! or RECOUNT

Most leaders again won't tell you that you have to, or tell you which one of these to use. They will however expect you to know that you are optimal and competitive with your damage output, and will hold you accountable to the data that shows up in their own addon.

DECURSIVE - IGNORED FOR ROGUES, WARRIORS, WARLOCKS, and HUNTERS

This addon is probably more than what a minimalist wants. I'm only mentioning it here because you should be able to quickly identify, adjust, and remove curses, magic, poision, diseases, etc. from your friends with ease. If you can't, you may be told to get this until you prove that you can.




This is what your minimal approach could look like!
