This addon looks through your combat log to see who’s casting healing spells around you; if it detects that a player has cast a healing spell, it puts a big red cross over their nameplate.
Yes. Yes. YES.
I didn't even make it through the entire sentence before I had this downloaded and installed.
I mean... holy cow! There are PvP add-ons?
I honestly have never, ever thought of looking for a PvP specific add-on. I've got a good 14-15 add-ons for questing, dungeons, raids, the auction house, crafting, and general play... but not once have I ever thought, "Oh, hey. Maybe I should go looking for an add-on to solve this problem I'm having in PvP."
No. I'm not bragging about my l33t skillz. I'm confessing that, with regards to PvP, I think that I've been a particularly dull and uninteresting sort of idiot.
PvP add-ons. Wow. It's like... it's like... just, wow.
Read the whole article - it's an interesting discussion of add-ons and the attitudes towards them, done very well (as Cynwise is wont to do).

I'm also a big fan of OmniCC (for CD tracking), NeedToKnow (for tracking EVERYTHING), SaySapped (obviously) and DRTracker if you're anal about tracking your diminishing returns.
ReplyDeleteDBM has a great PvP component (the only reason I still run it, to be honest) which provides timer tracking and FC tracking.
Glad you found the article interesting!
Thanks! I'm going to have to check some of those out. I had a lot of fun in Wintergrasp during Wrath, and I'm starting to enjoy Tol Barad as well now. Anything that helps me get a better grasp of the tactical situation during a fight will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteIn trying out some 5v5 war games, I've noticed that I do a *lot* better in small-scale PvP - largely, I think, because I don't get overwhelmed by what's going on. I really enjoy the energy and pace of a big battle, though.
