If you are talking about the 2 first movies the addon list is (or at least the visual part. I had 107 addons enabled last time i checked, which also explains the mess around the minimap ):


Skinner (makes the chatframe the faded black color)

Prat (my char addon. Colors char names etc. Couldnt live without it)

Eavesdrop (The small square to the right of the chatframe. Shows dmg done and recieved in an easy-to-read way)

Assesment (to the right of eavesdrop. Its a low memory dmg meter. Its similar to recount, just dont have all the pretty graphs etc. But on the other hand it uses 1/10th of the memory recount use

Scrolling combat text and the SCTD "addon" (The dmg on the middle of the screen. I think SCTD makes the dmg showing in a diffrent way... Cant remember though. Been using those 2 addons for like 1½ year)

Bartender3 (for all hotbars. It also makes the bars invisable. I got 5 bars on my screen that only apears when i mouse over them for buffs etc. You can see an example of the mouse over bars in the first vid just after first pull)

AG_unitframes (Used for all the unit frames)

Cooldown timers 2 (Shows cooldowns for all spells with a cooldown to the right on my screen. Usefull for pvp when you quickly need to know exactly how long till you can use frost nova again. Also makes the popups when a spell becomes ready)

Morganti's buffbars (The pretty buffbar to the left of the minimap)



Uhm. I think that was all. Lemme know if you got any questions

Very useful guide, Aoe leveling for mage's really speeds upp the process. Its very easy but it takes time to master, I did it from level 50-70 and it saved my half the time, Good guide non the less ty

[Mr Barbeque]

Thanks I still got one I can't figure out. I've been using SCT/SCTD for long, I'm wondering if that's the one showing the spell icons when you cast a spell, I would really love to know which one does that!

[yahz]

some time ago i wrote guides for aoe farming for some russian forum will translate it and add it there

You sure you use the newest versions? In the version of SCT i use, under the animation tab, there's an "enable icons" option in the lower right corner.

Seem like you need SCT version 5.7 or newer. Here's a quote from the patch notes of it "5.7 - Added optional EavesDrop style spell icons"

[Dunkel.Nebel]

Well, crap. I'm going to have to grind on those fire-guys... I usually do, but only single-target.

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks a lot dude, I just downloaded the new version of SCT/D and it's working!

[sindas]

nice job, i've been wanting to make a mage just cause they farm nice

[snyper418]

Gread guide!

Well at all I would prefer the 0815 blizzard farming spec or at least put 3 points in Improved Blizzard. Why? personally I feel safer doing this with some range than always having the chance of getting beaten up by the mobs.

Anyway I'll try this as soon as possible... </3 weekly maintance

Gonna try this... TYVM
