Coolest little known addon you use

There's a million 'essential addons' threads and everyone knows Omen, DBM & Recount, but what I want to know is what are the addons you've dug up that aren't as famous, but really make your UI unique?

Here's a few of mine:

  • Button Timers : a great little combo action bar / dot timer that makes even pre 3.1 affliction rotations a sinch
  • Opie : great place to put those buttons you don't use often. helps keep a sleek UI.
  • Eavesdrop : graphical replacement for the combat log, keeps track of your highest crits to boot!
  • TooManyAddons : Helps you take control of your addons and manage bloat. Have one toggle for questing, one for raids.

Don't know that they're exactly "little known" but here are some of my essential "non-essentials"

Cartographer Great map addon
OneBag as well as OneBank, for simplifying bag interfaces
Recipe Radar shows you what recipes you can learn in each zone as well as puts an icon on the minimap if new ones are available. Also lets you know what you're alts know.
Linkerator makes trade chat easier
Disenchant Predictor in case you don't know what to DE to get a particular dust/shard/etc
MobInfo3 and the MobInfo database. All you ever wanted to know about mobs.

Does Auctioneer count as little known? haha

Re: Coolest little known addon you use

Ahh, I love this stupid little add on that was discontinued. It let's you hover your mouse over someone and you can see what they're targeting, so it's great when quickly checking what everyone's on in raids, or maybe just for being a vain warlock :P It was called "Are you lookin' at me?"

Also there was an add on called uhm...Do I know you? That let you record information and rate people you came across, but it was shared with anyone inter-guild who had the add on. The add on was very uhm, finicky though so the author discontinued it D:

I used to have a mod like that I used when running MC/BWL etc as raid leader, good ole 40-mans.....Lately I use TIPTAC which as a lot of nice functions, but will also show you who or what your hover target is targeting....nice imo.

Carbonite - Homepage

Great map addon that allows you to view the map and minimap just like google maps. Zoom all the way in, or all the way out. Also comes with a great quest tracker, in-game guide, and a ton more features. Not very well known, but hard to play without once you start using it.

doublewide for tradeskills: makes the profession windows double pained! woohoo

spy: lets you know if a horde player is getting close to you (works most of the time)

vendorz: sells all grey items everytime i visit a vendor

youwerekilledby (you were killed by) tell you who just killed you (for pvp)

fubar (not little known) but it's awesome!

align: puts a grid on your screen so you can line up your bars and stuff. really helpful,

addon control panel: lets you control your addons and reload your UI


I got all of my addons from curse.com if any wants to look into them

Re: Coolest little known addon you use

Back before WoW become an AoE-fest, I used ControlFreak for all my CC needs.

"ControlFreak is a small crowd control assist addon. It provides a small frame for fast click-casting of CC spells onto the player's focus target. It also provides visual cues of the focus's status and audio cues of CC breaks." - From the site

Works for any class that can CC, and even gives you the option to edit the macros used for all your tinkering needs.
