Mods and Macros

I’ve created a forum section named “Resources” which will be host mods, macros, and other links to information that you might be looking for. To narrow the search, click the tag of the resource you are looking for on the forums. For example, if you wanted to find all mods listed on the forums, you’d click the mods tag.

There is also some strongly suggested mods like a boss mod and threat meter. This is going to be kept minimal as to “really needed for raiding”.

Boss event notification:
BigWigs
Info | Download
Or
Deadly Boss Mod (DBM)
Info/Download

These mods give a idea when abilities/spells are going to come and allow a person some time to react before it. Everyone should have at least one of these installed. If you don’t, you are just slowing down our progression.

Threat meter:
Omen (suggested)
Info | Download
Or
KHL Threat Meter (KTM) (optional)
Note: resource heavy, doesn’t track multiple mobs

With Omen and BigWigs or DBM, you can tie Omen into BigWigs for screen warnings if your threat increases too much or passes the tanks threat. Really, really nice feature.

Raid frames:
CT_RaidAssist
Download
Or
ORA2 (CTRA replacement)
Info | Download
Note: ORA2 requires some additional mods to get the same functionality as CTRA, but its built to be light and then a person can figure out what they want. Read the info on how to extend it to what you need.

I haven’t played around with ORA2 enough yet, but it seems pretty nice. The only thing I wish it had was a better interface to adjust the layout of it. ORA2/sRaidFrames is my unit frames of choice now after using it a bit. Very lightweight, easy to configure, does what I want without being bloated (ie CTRA).

Other:
VisualHeal
Info | Download
A strong “must-have” mod that allows healers to determine who is healing a target and how much is being healed. This mod is top notch in its function to utilize mana in a raid setting to the best possible manner. All guild members should have this installed.
