Addons Dorkins Can't Live Without

Let's be honest here, I suck at this game. I don't come from the world of warcraft, I come from the world of suckcraft. So in order to make it look like I have some tiny semblance of skill, I use addons. And lots of them. These are my hunter specific addons, enjoy.
Beast Training. This makes the beast training window look like a talent window, get it, love it, bottom line.

Cooldown Timers2. Do you want to know when your trap is going to break? How about when Bestial Wrath is up? I though so, definite must have.

GFW_FeedOMatic. Having trouble figuring out the nuances of pet feedery. Trouble no more, grab this addon and you are set. Brought to you by Gazmik Fizzwidget.

GFW_HuntersHelper. Everything you ever could have dreamed of as a fresh, tender, young hunter is here. Install it, like yesterday. Gazmik Fizzwidget is a smart S.O.B.

Kharthus's Hunter Timers. Similar to Cooldown Timers2, KHT has the ability to monitor all of your hunter abilities and skills. I use it mainly to show when mend pet and feed pet are active, so I don't go wasting mana and food.

ZHunterMod. Last, but not least, Zhunter is a highly customizable addon that lets you do practically anything with your Petbar, your Trapbar, and your Aspectbar. This frees up a lot of space on your main actionbars giving you room for other things like macros and potions. My favorite part is the movable autoshot casting bar, love that shit.

Because of these beautiful little cyber treats, my suckitude rank in the annals of suckness has gone from General Suckington to a more reasonable Sergeant Suckage. Sucking less is always good, so if you know of any must have addons, let me know.

I was wondering about just this! Thanks Dorkins :]

But Cooldown Timer2 is acting weird on me, the anchor showing the skill icon can't be unlocked and the time it flashes (1 second) was to little, i tried to change it to a higher amount that 1 second, but nope, and after that i can't press any button to change anything about the icon anchor -.-' And thus i can't move or take it away...

*sigh*

But thanks for posting the list!

How do you get Kharthus’s Hunter Timers to count forward for auto shot? Mine will only count backwards.

thanx

hey whats that addon that shows the auto shot?

September 12, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKyle

for the feed pet add-on.. I bypassed any need for that by making a very simple macro..

/feed pet [food item]

just choose the doggy bone looking pic and put it somewhere you can see it... you can ever make more than one if your pet eats a variety of food or you could possibly make a more complex macro. works great for me and when you are out of that item it gives you that highlighted pointer to choose something else to feed him until you get more of the item

I was watching the Webisode 1.7 of Utgrade Keep and you guys were using a threat system that popped up words above your heads, i.e. "loosing Threat" and "Lost threat" . What addon is that?

September 15, 2008 | Unregistered Commentertutoro

@tutoro: is wrath, exp includes a new threat meter

@Kyle: zhunter

In regards to ppl saying you shouldn't be a teacher, Ignore em.. I'd raid with you or any of the Lore anyday.. You guys talk about the things and raise the types of questions that alot of ppl want to know about, without being called a noob by some basment dweller.

I'll take a guy that makes light of his skill over a smug knowitall that wipes the party and blames the tank (me) and healer.

Suffice to say I'd know alot more about Instances if i didn't put it off because i dreaded the idiots i was bound to deal with.

Thanks a million for the addons section.. sifting through Curse.com for screenshots of what i saw you guys playing with was driving me nuts :) This is what alot of ppl want to know about.

I love this show! To all the people who are giving them crap for not being "the best" please keep it to yourselves. These guys may not be perfect but that's what's great about it. You're not just seeing a couple of perfectionists running to a T, you're seeing the real guys like us who are just playing to have fun. If you see something that you think could have been done better then take note of that. Learn from others wistakes and quit trying to put people down. Better yet make that suggestion on the site, then others can take note of it as well. Keep it up guys! You're doing what I wish I could get my friends and family to do with me!

Tnx

Hey Dorkins,
In one of the recent broadcasts, I remember you still asking about how to fix the bug where you would start shooting the next target after your target dies. I wrote a little addon per a few hunter friend's request to deal with this problem since no one seems to know how to fix it.

goto wow.curse.com and search for addon AutoShootFTL and you should get the addon.

hey i was wondering since i have stopped playing wow till the new exspantion comes out will drathals hud still be compatible as found this the best addon i have ever used fo incombat purposes, i mean it works well no matter what i use my mage rogue or pally.

Alboar speaks true words by noting it's the human element we should appreciate and not put down. Seeing these guys make mistakes is actually part of the charm, it makes it more realistic. And most of all, they're portraying a group of friends who have fun together, exploring the content, wiping, recovering together. Sure as hell beats PUGging with a buncha loudmouth know-it-alls.

Btw I love the UI of Dorkins with all the juicy info spam flying about, but then I love hunters :) Especially the timers reminding you of what's up when are a godsend when you're burning the midnight oil.

December 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterGorath

Whats the addon the Dorkins is using in the latest episode of PRL - In the Romeo/Juilet style boss fight, when Dorkins looks the Blue Chest peice, he was using a addon to tell him how it will effect his toon. Like it show. the Aglity going up but his intell and atk power going down. What is that Addon's name !

December 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSupercharger

dorkins i have found one of the best addons for a hunter its called aspected again from curse.com its an addon that will clear up your action bars atleast by 7 because it takes all of your aspects and puts them in a little bar like the palis get for their auras so you no longer have to put them into your action bar

January 13, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkolthor

I use one called FloAspectBar, it clears up alot of room by making a bar just for your aspects. They also have this type of thing for shammys totems. Heres the link

January 19, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterhaymaker13

I would like to kno what addon the cast has i dont kno what toon he plays but its the one with his health and mana bar in the center of the screen
