Many WotLK add-ons have been released for Blizzard’s latest expansion set, WoW Wrath of the Lich King. Due to the wide variety of mods and addons, it can be difficult to know which ones are best for your class. I am here to show you what are some of the most used plugins in WoW Wrath of the Lich King.

According to statistics from curse.com, these are the top 10 most downloaded addons in World of Warcraft WotLK:

1) Quest Helper – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 17,603,306

Many of you reading this have probably heard of QuestHelper (outside of WoW or within WoW). This addon is known to be the best leveling mod in WoW Wrath of the Lich King. The database it uses is very extensive and will help you find exactly where you need to go in the game. Not only that, it will also calculate the fastest route for you to complete all your quests in your quest log! That in itself is a HUGE advantage, as it will help you gain experience in the most effective way possible.

2) Count – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 4,453,450

If you’re looking for a solid graphical damage meter, look no further. This addon will help you monitor damage dealt, dps, damage taken, healing done, and much more! The charts are very easy to read and are exceptionally accurate.

3) Improved Atlasloot – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 13,342,217

This UI tweak will allow you to see all the loot tables for every boss in the game. Not only that, but it will also show you bounce rates and allow you to link items in any chat channel.

4) Mapping – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 8,135,336

This addon is great for seeing all the maps in World of Warcraft (even if you haven’t explored the zones yet).

5) Deadly Boss Mods – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 7,144,991

If you don’t have this plugin or BigWigs installed, you are simply playing wrong. This addon monitors everything you need to know about a boss fight. Raid warnings and bar timers make this a must have for every gamer. This mod lets you know when and what to expect in each boss encounter in the game.

6) Decursive – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 2,531,990

If you are a curse class (eg mage, druid, priest, paladin, etc.) and you don’t have this mod, then you are hurting yourself and your party members. If you don’t want to fail debugging, I suggest you install this plugin.

7) Omen Threat Meter – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 7,852,924

I realize that there is now a kind of threat meter in the game that warns you if you are going to generate aggression; however, this plugin has always been and still is very useful. Any dps class that enjoys serious raiding should have this plugin installed to monitor TPS (threat per second).

8) X-Perl Unit Frameworks – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 3,418,029

Many people use X-Perl Unitframes as a replacement for Blizzard’s default unitframes. Personally, I prefer Grid to X-Perl (especially for healers). However, X-Perl has its advantages and is still a very useful mod. Either way, the default Blizzard Unity frameworks should definitely be replaced.

9) Auctioneer / Auctioneer – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 9,593,450

This is a very popular plugin to help ease your WoW auction experience; however, I recommend Auctionator over this plugin as it seems easier to use. All you have to do is Alt+click an item when you are in the auction house and it will automatically list that item and calculate the price for you and beat your competition. Very useful indeed!

10) Waiter4 – Total downloads as of January 19, 2009: 1,607,651

This plugin is great for customizing the bars and user interface. This mod also makes the key bindings very easy to configure. I highly recommend using this mod over the standard WoW UI.
