WoW Guide: Getting Started Guide to the Best Addons

If you want to give an extra gear to your just started adventure on World of Warcraft, surely you have heard about the Addons. If you don't know what it is yet and you want a hand in choosing the best ones, in this guide we will show you all those that a good WoW player can't do without.

What is an Addon?

Similar to the mods of other games like Skyrim or Fallout, Addons are user-created programs that change the look of the game or in many cases add features that optimize its performance. There are plenty of sites to download them from, but the easiest and most straightforward way is to install Twitch's desktop app by clicking on the appropriate entry at the top left. Once installed click Mod and select WoW from the menu from there you will have access to a search bar to find your Addons, the app will download and install them automatically. Below is a list of the main Addons used by most players:

Omen

Who's pissing off the boss the most?

If instead you've chosen to be in the front line with a tank it's important to know how much you've really attracted the attention of the boss and with an operation similar to Skada, Omen will signal you with a numerical value the degree of Threat that you will have respect to the icon you're facing.

A sea of Addons

Those listed in this guide are just a few, if not the most useful, present on the web there are equally useful as Bagnon that reduces to a single inventory your bags or other fun as the one that inserts the iconic "WOW!" by Owen Wilson among your audio files.
