AddonGurus present WoW Addons

I guess I should really call this the “WoW addons not-really-weekly-but-every-now-and-then new” column. It’s been summer and I’ve basically had a WoW break, as so many others. There’s this summertime blues thing going with World of Warcraft now and it’s not only due to summertime, but also the expansion being so far out. I’m guessing we’ll see it close to x-mas. By the looks of it, it will be awesome, but I wish they could have gotten it done a lot sooner as only a few hardcore guilds on my server are still able to keep things together. Anyway, read on for the latest news on the addon scene!

Benecaster hasn’t been updated for over 130 days now, and even though it’s one of my favorite addons, I’ll probably have to look around for a similar one that’s still being maintained. Another addon that’s not seen much changes over the summer is QuestHelper. The latest version fixed compability problems with the 2.4.3 of WoW, changed a bit how the strategy for timing the background work task works, and added a new filter which limits routing to objectives marked in the Quest Log. This is for all the other cases of “I just want to see X quests”.

Another popular addon, Atlasloot Enhanced has gotten minor and major changes in the last few months. The season 4 pvp items have been added as well as the profession items. A ‘quicklooks’ feature has been added, which lets you bind up to four loot tables to Quicklook buttons for eash one-click access. One of the more recent updates makes it compatible with Atlas version 1.12 but sees the removal of the autoquery function as it was causing too many errors. Focus for the development team is now mostly on continuing the addon for Wrath of the Lich King. The Atlas team has released version 1.12 which includes mostly minor fixes. Read the patchnotes here.

Deadly Boss Mods has finally been able to add Void Reaver’s Arcane Orb to the addon now that it finally shows up in the combat log. Good news for any guild doing Void Reaver on a regular basis. The team is now focusing on DBM for Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) and hopefully we’ll have a fully working version by the team the expansion goes gold.

That’s it for this round. I’ll start updating more frequently as we get closer to WotLK. Hope you all had a good summer. Cheers!
