Best WoW TBC Raid Addons — Addons · WoW TBC

A raid asks a lot of your screen: boss abilities, threat, debuffs and loot. These are the addons raid groups most often expect you to have, or that make the raid leader's job easier.

How we chose

Its current release ships for WoW TBC (or partly, as noted).
Helps you or your group in a raid fight or its loot.
One addon per job.

The picks

Deadly Boss Mods (DBM)Compatible
Warnings and timers for every raid boss, with voice packs and a role filter.
BigWigs BossmodsCompatible
Lighter boss warnings, installed as modules; many raid groups use it instead of Deadly Boss Mods.
Details! Damage MeterCompatible
Damage, healing and death logs per fight, for the whole raid.
ThreatClassic2Compatible
Threat for everyone on your target, with warnings before you pull aggro.
DecursiveCompatible
Shows who needs a dispel and removes debuffs in the order you set.
Nova World BuffsCompatible
Timers for world buffs before a raid, and which of your characters has which.
GargulCompatible
Loot tools: GDKP auctions, soft reserves and rolls.
RCLootCouncil ClassicCompatible
Loot council voting, for guilds that hand out loot by council.

How they compare

Deadly Boss Mods and BigWigs cover the same bosses: use the one your raid uses, and only one.

Gargul runs GDKP auctions, soft reserves and rolls; RCLootCouncil runs council votes. A raid uses the one that matches its loot rules.

Setting them up

Update your boss mod before raid night: boss timers change with patches.
Ask your raid leader which boss mod and loot addon the raid uses.
