You're awesome! If you did not do this, I would have skipped this video. He had enough time to time stamp the videos but not name the addons by their name. Typical garbage creator move!
Damn... just realizing how long I've been subbed. . . When Classic re-release was announced I started checking out WoW content in preparation and it was yours and Punkrat's channels I really got into. Just great organized content. Appreciate your work, brother. Keep em coming...''That's what she said''
@Frostadamus , yeah. I actually make Easter Egg WoW comments over there every now and again lol. Nothing that would expose him ofc lol, but if you were to see it , a guy like you would laugh. Just to reiterate , your content has been fun and helpful , so if that was what you were looking to do when you started creating, mission accomplished , my friend. Thank you 😉
Thanks you! Also about "whats training" if you play for example a warlock and scroll down to spellbooks for pets, you can right click and set to already trained and this make so that when you visit the pet trainer the "already trained" books are shown in black. Really usefull and quick way to know wich books to buy
This video was AMAZING, i will be switching out a few Addons for the one’s you mentioned. I would ask do you have a video or could you consider making one on your UI and how you moved your char name plates? That would be amazing. I love how clean it looks. Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to set LFG Bulletin addon to look for certain words like for example to turn off everything and set him to only look for Dark Rider in channels and display it
Fonts you get from this addon pack. ua-cam.com/video/CzYezUykfXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Frostadamus It's shown in the first minute of the vid how to change them.
With which addon do you move your minimap so easily? edit : I've read his replies to previous comments, for those looking for the addon it's "Sexymap".
Lol , the first 2 addons you talk about, are the first 2 i alrdy loveeee and need, gonne download them asap, you got yourself a new subscriber for sure!!! Now im gonnencheck the rest of the video and the remaining 8 addons 😂😂
Best thing about addons is how it keeps so many new players away from the game! I mean blizzard could add an in game service for these addons and actually get new players but they are far too lazy, every friend I ask to come play wow always quits once they realize all the addons they need, not even just that they know they need them its the setting them up
@@Frostadamus Weird. Mine just opens the window and doesn't show the chat channels - even when I'm actively in them and didn't leave. Have reinstalled a bunch of times to no avail. It worked fine for so long and just stopped 🤷🏼♂️
DBM is the biggest culprit of being TOO helpful. When Blizz specifically says they have to design raids around knowing people will have DBM, then it's a problem.
They will make harder content towards level 60. But even if they ban DBM, there will be weak auras. In Wotlk I had a weak aura pack that was telling me every move to make.
Removing DBM would not affect top players in any way. They will still be able to perform great and follow the mechanics. The medium skill player would have some struggle at the start in terms of getting used to it, but after a week or two would figure it out. The lowest skill player, well, they’re still failing the mechanics even with DBM. If DBM was the answer, we would have every single guild farm gnome week 1, which is not the case and many guilds are still progressing. They even added a boss with no cast bar, on an ability that can wipe a raid 100%. So, I think we’re fine with DBM. General state of the game is actually pretty decent. You want classic +? Here you go, expect some changes and embrace them. Im enjoying the game and will continue to do as long as its making sense like first 2 phases of SoD :)
Well it's like real life. You don't really need all the new sensors and cameras and automatic stick to park and drive a car. But people still want them :D
Rested XP is not free! what's the use of having the addon if the guides are not free? absolutely 0 it's like saying wow it's free because they give you a lvl 20 trial. shame you're promoting such things
RestedXP might be good for new people to the game. For people who have leveled in the game a few times in the past, you will notice that RestedXP addon actually slows you down and is quite overrated.
@@Frostadamus I can't find the luxthor exp bar in curseforg, can you tell me where is the alternatie? the safe one, I'm afraid downloading a scam addon
as to addons being cheating, it depends on the addon. something like gargul which helps with loot and keeping track of +1 data i would not consider cheating. at one point in BC or vanilla (the originals not the classic versions) i remember some people talking about a healing addon which would downrank the spells to give the appropriate amount of healing to minimize overhealing. i'm not saying it actually existed, whoever in the guild was talking about that might have been completely full of crap, but if that did exist, cheating IMO. if you're letting something else play the game for you, that to me is cheating. As to your comment about addons taking skill..... yeah i don't think i agree with that. i have yet to use a single addon where i felt i had to "get better" with the addon before gaining w/e benefit it has. once you go through the one time headache of setting up an addon it's done, minus any keybind tweaks, but that exists if you tweak your keybinds w/o an addon too.
Add ons do the opposite of leveling the play field for new players vs veteran players. You have to go through a lot effort to setup weakauras but its mandatory for a serious player. New players or casual players will not have these add ons or macros and they will fall behind, and they might just give up on WoW to go play games that like FF14 that do actually have a level playing field. On top of that Blizzard has to build mechanics around the fact some players have the most advanced add ons which also causes new players to be punished by overly complex raid mechanics. Add ons and macros are good only if they do not give you an edge in combat. Players doing mythic raiding or arena should not need 1 add on or macro to play optimally, that's a fair playing field and this is how most modern games handle things.
Hey. It's free 1- 20 including all features: Level splits, heartstone batching and many more. But it's funny how you ignore everything else and focus on 10% of the video.
OK. I'm going to have to stop you there for a second. Add-ons do anything BUT "level the playing field" in fact they do the exact opposite in WoW right now. While yes, some usability add-ons can do that, MOST add-ons in wow increase the gap between player rather than lessen it to the point users that don't use certain add-ons are at a clear disadvantage compared to those that do. Not only that, but in some instances, "having" the add-ons, isn't enough, you need to learn how to use them, modify them, etc. yourself. There's no "level" playing field when Add-ons are involved and the fact that some add-ons are even considered "must-have" (and it's not just for clickbait) is evidence of that. Aside from that, yea add-ons are a thing in WoW, I'm not going to say they shouldn't exist or they should be banned.

Cause addons give u a super advantage in diff situations. If they wanted it in the game they would add it tbh. I enjoy the least amount of addons. Lfg board and questie is all needed.
@user-zw4xz2mc2q add-ons simply connect to the public API that Blizzard makes available to all players. If Blizzard didn't want certain types of add-ons from existing they could simply make those APIs non public

Wonder what punkrat is doing nowdays :D
Think slightly after the launch of classic he got into politics. Made some yt channel.

Stay frosty Nathan.
Punkrat is running a conservative political channel now called Liberal Hivemind
He's doing quite well with a ton of subs
Thanks you!

You're welcome!
I’ve been using aux as my auctioneer addon for years since you’ve shown me. I love it soooo much
Aux is so cool.
Still using it today. So basically I've been using it for over 7 years.
Ever since private servers. Hehe.
Yea same i remember a video you did on nostalrius back in the days @@Frostadamus
Yep Aux is best. Always use it. Auctioneer is trash.
There used to be an addon for bulk addon posting super good for flipping greens. but don’t think it’s for current game.
Totally replaced MiniMap Button Bar with Hiding bar. Thank you so much I didnt know about this addon!
Glad I could help!
Frost's addon videos have been very helpful over the years. Thanks 😊
You received the top number of hearts from me.
This video was AMAZING, i will be switching out a few Addons for the one’s you mentioned. I would ask do you have a video or could you consider making one on your UI and how you moved your char name plates? That would be amazing. I love how clean it looks. Thanks in advance.
Yes I have.
ua-cam.com/video/CzYezUykfXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Frostadamus
I enjoy using add-ons, it makes the game much easier to play.
what's the addon for the square minimap?
sexymap.
Is it possible to set LFG Bulletin addon to look for certain words like for example to turn off everything and set him to only look for Dark Rider in channels and display it
Think so. Look in settings. Under miscellaneous.
@@Frostadamus I was looking and tried out few things but couldn't make it work, maybe I'm missing something
I didn't see them either.
What is that addon that you have like modern text, black outlines around spell bars etc. ?
Dark mode ui.
But recently I upgraded to Sui ui.
@@Frostadamus Thanks I just saw your video about it. does that SUI also change font? Or I still need that fonts
Fonts you get from this addon pack.
ua-cam.com/video/CzYezUykfXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Frostadamus
It's shown in the first minute of the vid how to change them.
Weakauaras is by far the strongest of all addons ever
Amazing video, using your addon recomendations since classic wow! Been trying to find that exp WA for ages!
With which addon do you move your minimap so easily?
edit : I've read his replies to previous comments, for those looking for the addon it's "Sexymap".
Sexymap with a preset called faded square, should be easy to find under profiles from users.
Yes, thanks ♥@@Frostadamus
Which addon is making the icons and background darker? I had it on wrath but totally forgot the name of it
dark mode ui?
great video again Frost thank you, i love the LFG bulletin addon, it helps a lot
That one is a game changer when it comes to groups.
@@Frostadamus yes indeed
Hey, what is your minimap addon btw ?
SexyMap
What addon do you use to make everything black/dark?
Dark Mode ui
Great video thanks, By the way, wich addon you use for the minimap?
Sexymap, some square preset from options.
thanks!@@Frostadamus
Sexy map and basic mini map combined is best due to the option in basic mini map to not just change size but scale.
Id love to see a guide on aux. Some tips and tricks youve learned over the years
Noted!
Might have an old one on the channel.
Look for it.
Awesome work dude! Can you please share an export of your action bars? Are you using Bartender?
Sure, this is my Ui.
ua-cam.com/video/CzYezUykfXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Frostadamus
Use curse forge to update all after install.
Bartender is best. For bars
Lol , the first 2 addons you talk about, are the first 2 i alrdy loveeee and need, gonne download them asap, you got yourself a new subscriber for sure!!! Now im gonnencheck the rest of the video and the remaining 8 addons 😂😂
Sure thing mate! Hit that bell also.
I'm working on 2 new Addon videos:
1 Like this one.
1 Complete Ui Setup.
@@Frostadamus awesome mate, im a big fan of addons!!
Gothic soundtrack in background - something wonderful
Great video mate, some real bangers in there
Appreciate it
i just want to know the addon that changes the font of your letters
ua-cam.com/video/CzYezUykfXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Frostadamus
In the first minute of the video is shown how to change font.
How can I see other's HP, etc.? I can't see the HP on bosses or players.
ModernTargetFrame is an addon that helps with Hp.
And then you activate it from interface " show status text
Very Useful, another great video :) TYVM
Glad it was helpful!
Frost, remind me your addon for darkening the UI?
Dark mode Ui, friend.
I use about every addon that exists. The only two I don’t like are actually the most popular dbm and auctioneer. Lol.
good morning frost, i likey this video, see you on stream
Morning
One thing I'm hoping is they have sets for runes, so I don't have to do them individually.
That would be great.
i uploaded that rune engraving addon week or 2 ago and people hate me for it it seems lol :(
Sometimes people are mean. Don't take it personally :P
Thx man some really nice quality of life addons
Cheers!
Tysm for the guide 🎉
No problem 😊
Best thing about addons is how it keeps so many new players away from the game! I mean blizzard could add an in game service for these addons and actually get new players but they are far too lazy, every friend I ask to come play wow always quits once they realize all the addons they need, not even just that they know they need them its the setting them up
I've seen some people that play without addons. Seems to be coming back in fashion :D
Yes. This is such a big mistake by blizzard.
It is why my friends don’t play too
Your little dance at the end asking for a sub was great. Made me smile! Cheers m8
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey mate great videos.
Am I correct in thinking the dark features and hide griffins is from leatrix plus? Thanks
Hiding griffon from leatrix.
Dark feature from Sui ui.
This is amazing, thanks a lot
Glad you like it!
Did LFG Bulletin break for anyone else?
Just checked it out, works fine.
@@Frostadamus Weird. Mine just opens the window and doesn't show the chat channels - even when I'm actively in them and didn't leave. Have reinstalled a bunch of times to no avail. It worked fine for so long and just stopped 🤷🏼♂️
What is a game like WoW that i don't need 20 add ons for, FF14?
FF14 seems to be popular. Btw you don't need these addons :D
How do I get Lorti UI?
Get dark mode ui
SUI is a good alternative too@@Frostadamus
Gonna look into it.
Gothic 3 soundtrack! nice
DBM is the biggest culprit of being TOO helpful. When Blizz specifically says they have to design raids around knowing people will have DBM, then it's a problem.
I mean thats retail? Classic is cakewalk already xD
They will make harder content towards level 60. But even if they ban DBM, there will be weak auras.
In Wotlk I had a weak aura pack that was telling me every move to make.
@@Frostadamus can you show me how to use weak auroas for my mage on classic to show buttons to use?
Removing DBM would not affect top players in any way. They will still be able to perform great and follow the mechanics. The medium skill player would have some struggle at the start in terms of getting used to it, but after a week or two would figure it out. The lowest skill player, well, they’re still failing the mechanics even with DBM.

Here you go, expect some changes and embrace them. Im enjoying the game and will continue to do as long as its making sense like first 2 phases of SoD :)
And yet people still stand in fire lol
Auctionator is a must have imo
I use aux. :D
Hi! Who can help? Try to use Addon Dark Mode UI for Dark style. But it does not darken the panel and bags. How it fix?
go for Syiana Ui, also known as Sui.
Alright 3 addons. Sub’d!
Ya boY! I bet you in the next video i can find 3 more!
Zygor is awesome, Rested is nice i just hate the UI + the checkbox's
You are great, keep it up.
Thank you user0zu7ig9hy7x
Are you the child of Elon Musk?
Addons make the game easier.
yep.
Life ‘WAS’ like a box of chocolate’😎
There is a DVD version where he says Life "is"
But yeah, the one I saw recently "Was"
If we're talking about Forest Gump.
I get a few add ons but most of them why it's like people need their hand held for a old ass game it's kind of cute....
Well it's like real life. You don't really need all the new sensors and cameras and automatic stick to park and drive a car. But people still want them :D
great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

where to find the addons?
check the pinned comment.
@@Frostadamus I can't find the luxthor exp bar in curseforg, can you tell me where is the alternatie? the safe one, I'm afraid downloading a scam addon
Install weak auras
And then this is the link: wago.io/LuxthosExperienceBar
You click copy import string, and paste it in game after you do /wa
Luxthos experience bar is a weak aura btw.
He said it was 3 times
Yes it is! Wish they would also make it an addon. :D
No duhhhhhhh

Poggies!
why ban scripters if scripting is available to anyone? Why ban addons if they are available to everyone?
True and real.
Cause addons give u a super advantage in diff situations. If they wanted it in the game they would add it tbh. I enjoy the least amount of addons. Lfg board and questie is all needed.
@user-zw4xz2mc2q add-ons simply connect to the public API that Blizzard makes available to all players. If Blizzard didn't want certain types of add-ons from existing they could simply make those APIs non public
Addons are sometimes just plain cheating
More cheating than gold buying or less?:D
I tend to agree but is it realy when everyone does it? 🤔
