Wowhead Client - Application and addon used to help build our database!

Comment by ConclexpawgComment by VencesAll you need is Deathlog for HC.Comment by Paz87AFAIK if you are intending to download addons for classic hc/sod/era it is the _classic_era_ folder not just _classic_ as thats in cata now it could just be my file structure so take this with a grain of saltComment by TailleventThis is my first time playing classic, when the new realms are out tomorrow. I'd love to hit the ground running. If I log into a current classic realm and set up my UI there, I assume it'll work on the fresh ones, too?Comment by SinRThis is my first time playing classic, when the new realms are out tomorrow.

C'mon Blizz, add maps into instances!Comment by LoKHorDon’t forget BetterVendorPrice for stack sizes and vendor sell priceComment by EhawMinimapButtonButton needs to be added to this list.Comment by SerenalI really like MinimapButtonButton, it removes all the icons from your mini map and puts then in a drop-down menu type thing.Comment by soFFe51Sad to see Ranker missing in this list, which is the single most important addon to get if you're planning to PvP.Comment by TailleventBTW, the AdvancedInterfaceOptions (all one word) and Auctionator instances listed here are Retail. If you search on Curseforge you'll find the Classic versions.Comment by EyevouI never leave home without installing FPS AlwaysComment by orionshockInstead of MapCoords Classic, Tom Tom is way better - same author as Clique

I'd also go with ChocolateBar to get rid of the Mini-map buttons as much as possible.

SexyMap for mini-map replacementComment by MooreaI forgot Aux which imo is the best auction Ui

and I like CleanMiniMap for… a clean minimap (hides buttons until you mouseover)

and I think ItemRack (though broken right now) is a must haveComment by ZeburialIt is kinda crazy that "VoiceOver" sound is not included in the leveling addons?

Probably one of the most immersive addons during lvling phase.Comment by Shahaman95What about reconsideration regarding the controversial decision to allow Dual Spec that goes fundamentally aginst core game design philosophy of Vanilla - it just devalues entire concept of Talent tree.

This decision should be reconsidered. It createsa bad precedent for future and SoD already proved that. Adding QoLs will never stop.

Changes are ok, but changes that undermine the core design of the game are just unnaceptable, and i cant believe that devs just allow such things to happenComment by FojosWhat about reconsideration regarding the controversial decision to allow Dual Spec that goes fundamentally aginst core game design philosophy of Vanilla - it just devalues entire concept of Talent tree.
