WOW Sites and Mods

[Jine]

I aggree, curse-gaming.com is really good!
And nice ppl at forum forum (like here)

[not_my_ip]

long not updated,
just to add: wowhead.com - quest, items etc

addons based on ace libraries http://files.wowace.com/

[DigiMatInc]

addons based on ace libraries World of Warcraft Addons - WowAce.com

For mods, I use Ace/Ace2. Infact, the only non-Ace mod i use is QuestHelper.

Generally speaking Ace mods are lightweight compared to non-Ace. You can find Ace versions of all the big boys - Cartographer, Omen, FuBar and Bongos to name but a few.

WoWAce.com has a client which will update your mods for you which helps considerably at patch time when you can't get onto any of the Mod sites.

curse in the past few weeks have uploaded mods containing the dreaded key crack (not curse's fault).
im out of the imeadiate WoW loop now as i quit but my best mate is still a hardcore raider and got busted by one at weekend which he just uploaded.

its not curse in general its the same a$$holes who slip it into random mods, so get them by all means but make sure you are NOT the first to try it.

[AveMaria]

those site you list sounds new to me.. every now and then I only trust two sites for WoW sites and Mods:

2. worldofwarcraftgoldreview.wordpress.com

For anyone playing WoW I would suggest getting Mapster, it's a map add-on that will show you the revealed map regardless of where you've explored which is handy if you're heading for a new town/flight path

Noxxic.com is amazing for working out how to gear and gem your character to get the most out of it.
it used to only list pve raiding setups but has now expanded to include pvp classes

also if people are willing to pay for an addon Zygor guides system is amazing and now includes guides of how to grind rep, get mounts and achievements(including the explorer title ) and also contains guides of quickest and cheapest ways to lvl professions and get from 1-85 its also now includes guides for the latest HOT dungeons and gives u tips if ur dps tank or healer


p.s. anyone play shattered halls as horde or the shatar as alliance ( both eu )

also here is a list of addons i use:
Carbonite ( map addon )
Deadly boss mod ( a must for high level dungeoning )
altaholic ( lets me check all my alts bags / banks / gold / professions from whatever character im on )
moveanything ( i move my side bars to be horizontal )
badkitty ( for feral druid )
zygor ( as i mentioned before )
addoncontrol panel ( allows u to turn on and off addons with a simple reload rather than relog )
Auctioneer ( making auctions easy )

I would highly recommend http://www.wowreforge.com, really ease to use with personal stat weights and exactly gets you to your specified caps. It has pre-set values for all classes and specs, although you can change them if you wish to.

Best used in conjunction with SimulationCraft to determine the best stat values.

I have always used Elitist Jerks for general numbers caps and break points, and they are kept nicely upto date for the classes I mainly play (Druid, Pally, Priest and Shaman yes I have 4 mains all healers and pally and druid also tank (btw 2005 resto druid haste should be top priority ). Other than that I have a lot of addon's installed but only 3 usually active.

Auctioneer #disabled
Bagnon #Must have less memory usage than altaholic
Dominos and Xperl go together to make my very messy ugly UI but it is incredibly functional
Deadly Boss Mods
Recount #Used in dungeons and for testing
Omen #For tanking threat management

You will notice no healing addon's I use Blizz frames with mouseover macro's just find them smoother and heal pools seem to be kept updated better.

Here's a few excellent sites:

For all the latest news, articles and discussions - http://wow.joystiq.com/
A great concise guide to talent builds, gearing, gems, enchants, rotations etc - http://www.noxxic.com/ (also covers SWTOR and Diablo 3).
All you ever need to know about how to make gold (without moving to China), including strategies, quick wins, guides etc - http://stormspire.net/content/
Combine that stormspire site with https://eu.theunderminejournal.com/ to track all Auction House data on your realm over time with graphical data presentation so you can determine the best buying point or selling price for any item. It works.
