Required mods for raiding

I suspect everyone applying to a raiding guild will (should?) have all of these already but just in case, we require that you have installed, and know how to use, the following add-ons before raiding with the guild:

CT_RaidAssist OR Ora2
KLH Threat Meter (KTM) OR Omen
Teamspeak RC2 (TS)
Deadly Boss Mods OR BigWigs boss mods

We also use Guild Event Manager (GEM) for raid planning, so you will need that add-on too.

All available from Curse Gaming: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/

And that's the lot for now.

Not sure of our guild makeup, but good (read essential) for Heal-adins are:

Pallypower - Helps organise pally buffs and can shave quite a bit of time off the process.
Healer's Assist - An all-round menagerie of utility for raid healers.

And my personal favourite addon

ArcHUD - Displays health, mana, mob health, casting time, mob casting time etc. in two arcs around your player. Makes seeing who is how healthy easy and doesn't require you to look around the screen for health.

I'll add links later as my work web blocker doesn't like Curse... Boo!

For locks, I find necrosis indispensable.

ora2+bigwigs very nice combo, lightweight - have happily used it since vanilla times
omen > ktm

classes that can do anykinda decursing - decursive

ctraid etc are spawns of satan and memoryhogs

underlined stuff can be DL'd from http://files.wowace.com/
wowace has updater-addon aswell, but what ive heard it may endanger your account (never used it myself, always DLing addons manually and check em)

The updater is very, very dodgy indeed and only covers ace-2 add-ons anyway so my advice is to avoid it.

Agree grade and comment on Ora2/Bigwigs much better than CT in memory terms.

iv found healbot a good healing addon for me as a holy pally

i got a small selection i have always used, can normally be found on curse under ' Dascorpion ' .......... loads of usefull adds, although mostly for general use, eg. titan, gatherer, atlas, KTM that sort of shit. Will update it again for 2.3 soon.

as far as CT goes ! wtf ! every time i try to run it now, it well doesnt like my social window, since they added that damn voice tab it messed everything up...... i cant open that raid window with the pull out grp tabs ! my favourite mass summoning tool

anyone else had/got this problem, i havent used it since 2.2

Simple answer is: dont use it!

oRA2 is superior in every way, less buggy, much smaller memory footprint... and it still talks to CT for those still living in the dark ages ^^
