Every time a new World of Warcraft expansion drops, the addon graveyard grows a little larger. Boss mods break, niche mechanics become obsolete, and your once-pristine UI suddenly throws a dozen Lua errors on login. Yet, amid the chaos of constant patches and overhauled talent trees, a select few addons quietly survive the test of time.
With WoW Forever having launched last Tuesday (US) / Wednesday (EU), and with CurseForge being the place to get your AddOns, it is, of course, time to talk shop. Here are some of our favorite AddOns that we used in the Forever Beta.
