Hey I was thinking about getting some useful mods for WoW but have no clue what to get and what's the best mod out there. I'd really like to have an AH mod and anything else out there that would help me out. Anyone have any recommendations? Thx a bunch since i have no clue what i'm doin.
 
Mods I use

Location Mod - Displays your location on the screen. Helps to do quests where only co-ordinate locations are given on thott as opposed to running around for hours looking for something.

ItemRack - Switch gears with the click of a button. Helpful to change between fire/stam/pvp/feral/healing/shadow gear in less than 2 seconds (assuming you're not in combat)

CooldownCount Displays the cooldown in numbers of your spells in the toolbars. Really helpfull for pve and pvp.

Scrolling Combat Text - Displays a lot of things depending on your class abilities (onscreen combo point counter for rogues/druids). Shows buffs/debuffs/dmg taken/dodges/misses/parries. A must have mod for anyone.

CT Raid Assist - Raid assisst mod, helps to give warnings for bosses and convert messages to the raid. It helps healers keep people alive :)

Downloaded and installed. :D

This should be very helpful for running quests, especially since I research all my quests on Allakhazam ahead of time.
 
Most of these you can find on curse gaming or ui.worldofwar.net. I'm too lazy to link >.>

Titan Panel - gives you 1 or two bars on the top or bottom of your screen for lots of various things like performance, hk info, combat info, gold, bag spaces, a clock with your computer's time listed. Has lots of plugins for various things like whispercast, atlas, recap, dmgmeters, etc.

Discord Mods family (www.discordmods.com) (These mods if you take thtime to learn are incredibly powerful):
Discord Action Bars - a very powerful totally customizable action bar mod - replaces the default action bars. Can also remove the default ui artwork and bars (like th minibar and bagbar). I like this to create my own more compact action bars and button panels.

Discord Unit Frames - a very powerful totally customizable unit frame mod - replaces the default unit frames. This is great for making the default unit frames smaller.

GroupButtons - Alls you to create individual context sensitive buttons for yourself, your target and for each group member. This is most useful as a powerful replacement for benediction type mods. Totally customizable and allows click casting by simply clicking on unit frames in your party or in the raid which makes for nice fast easy to use healing.

Atlas mod - Creates an in game atlas that has info on all the instances including boss locations.

Ct_MailMod (www.ctmods.com) - I highly recommend this - it allows you to send multiple items at once to someone (like a mule) it's great for transferring lots of items between your mules. Saves SOOOOOOO much time. (you still pay 30c for each item sent, the mod just saves you having to create a new piece of mail for each item)

bc_tracking_menu - allows you to hotkey your tracking skills directly from the keybindings. Makes switching tracking quick and painless (I toggle between track humans and find minerals like 20 times / minute when I'm farming ore)

autobar - great mod for consumable items - creates a button that can have priorities. (like use healthstone first if available, if not available or on cooldown, use such and such a potion, or whipper tube root or whatever)

Some of the other ones I use tht i'll plug also:

ItemRack - The best equipment switching mod. Saves tons of time and aggravation from having to switch between 7 sets of gear. Get this. Now.

Scrolling Combat Text - great mod. Makes sure you see vaious effects that you are doing without having to keep looking at the combat text window. I highly recommend toggling the combat flag option - it's very useful to know exactly when you get into or out of combat for purposes of stealthing, mounting, etc.

CTRA - get it now. needed for raids.


There's a couple of mods that I like but that I turned off because in 1.10 they seem to lag the loading screen ALOT.

Gatherer - keeps track of where you've gathered herbs, ore, treasure chests, etc.

Lootlink - in game database that stores info of all items you've seen. (This takes up massive amous of ram and seems to slow down the loading screen SIGNIFICANTLY)

Recap - combat info tracker like dmg meters. I use this cause it also tracks overhealing which I find important as a healer. All other functionality is replicated by dmgmeters.



Those are the main mods that I use. Supporting mods come and go as i find need for them and as some of them stop being updated. (cooldowncount for example, is bugged with some of my mods). One disclaimer I'll make - if you become dependent on the total customizability of the discordmods family of mods (which I am) and they get broken during a patch (they're normally fixed within a couple days), the couple days they are broken can be REALLY bad since you'll forget how to use the default UI (like I did). -_-;;

Man, I feel so lowly with the amount of mods I use, and I'm sure goblit does as well as she uses even fewer then I.

CTRaidassist: If you plan on doing any raids you need it.
Gatherer: For the reasons Corin mentioned

(Those two both Goblit and I use, below are the few I use that she doesn't have)

Trinket menu: A great little addon to manage trinkets. You can equip a trinket from the user interface and use it, if it has a use-ability without having to bring up your chracter screen.

Telos-Self cast: Holding the ALT key and using an ability targets yourself, regardless of who you have targetted, without loosing your target. Very useful as a priest.

Decursive: Useful for cleansing friendly targets of disease\curse\magic\poison debuffs.
 
I currently have no mods active, I used to have cosmos untill the last patch, when it got patched it removed my mod :(
 
Slow Loading Times

If anyone is experiencing slow loading times since the last patch, some modders have recently figured out what is causing that. Melko mentioned this mod as a fix so I dug it up - it works REALLY well. My max loading time is now like 15 seconds where before I was approaching a minute and a half. Most loading times are 4-10 seconds.

And if you're wondering - yes it's legit, someone asked on the UI & Macros forums and this mod has the blessing of Blizzard. Blizzard (Slouken) has been working with the authors of this mod and a couple other like it and they are planning to incorporate the fixes into the default game client sometime in the next patch or two.
 
There are a few mods with very similar functions that will decrease loading times by limiting things being loaded when you zone (things that don't need to be done). I like this one because it does not have any other dependencies but there are a few others like Catalyst.
