2. Addons↑top

2.1. Generic Addons for Paladins

2.1.1. ElvUI

Here, at Icy Veins, we useElvUIfor all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the defaultUser Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly:action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.

We strongly recommend that you get this addon.

2.1.2. Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give youlive advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you toget one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly useDeadly Boss Mods,the most popular boss mod. A good alternative isBig Wigs.

2.1.3. GTFO

GTFO is a lightweightaddon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when youare making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod isalready alerting you of such things.

2.1.4. Parrot or Mik's Scrolling Battle Text

Parrot andMik's Scrolling Battle Text are highlycustomisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incomingheals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.

2.1.5. Recount

Recount is awell known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS(Healing Per Second). We advise you to also use it for checking what youtake damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of yourabilities is similar to that of other players of your class.

A lightweight alternative to Recount is Skada Damage Meter.

2.1.6. Weak Auras

WeakAuras is anextremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisableand it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play yourspec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of otherfunctions.

Here are a few useful WeakAuras configurations.

2.1.7. Raeli's Spell Announcer

Raeli's Spell Announceris an extremely useful addon that allows you to send announcements whenever youuse certain spells. It is of particular use to announce when you use raidcooldowns or other important abilities.

2.1.8. Blood Legion Cooldown

Blood Legion Cooldown is a useful addon that allows you to track the cooldowns of other raidmembers.

2.1.9. Omen Threat Meter

Omen Threat Meteris the most popular addon for displaying the current threat levels on yourtarget. It is useful, as a Holy Paladin, because it shows you who to castHand of Salvation Icon Hand of Salvation on, if needed (the DPS player who is overtaking or hasovertaken the tank).

2.2. Specific Addons for Holy Paladins

If you prefer an alternative to the ElvUI raid frames, you can useGrid andGridClickSets tokeep track of your raid's health and their debuffs. Additionally, you shouldalso use GridStatusRaidDebuff.
