Recommended Addon: Deadly Boss Mods

Researching how to play your character and how to run raid fights are both great ways to make yourself more useful in a raid group. However, as I've said before, not everyone has a photographic memory. Some fights just have a lot of things going on, and it can be hard to remember which abilities do what.

To that end, I would highly recommend Deadly Boss Mods. This is an addon program that warns you about what abilities the boss is using now and what abilities it will use in the near future. If you stand in something bad or are targeted by something, this addon will give you text warnings in the middle of your screen and will even flash your screen to get your attention.

Unlike the normal raid warnings that come with the game, this addon will also display boss abilities that are coming off of their cool downs. The cool downs count down in the middle of the screen (you can move this if it gets annoying), giving proactive players plenty of warning to prepare what they're going to do ahead of time. No matter what your skill level, this is an addon that should prove very beneficial.

I only have two words of caution for you. The first is that this routinely needs to be updated, and you must make sure when you download it, that you have the newest version. Running older versions of it decreases how useful it can be in a raid.

The second word of caution is that, in general, running a lot of addons while you're in World of Warcraft can slow your game. To this end, I would recommend deleting addons you don't use much or developing a habit of turning them off when you're not using them.

Not everyone has a gaming computer, so turning off non-essential addons when you're raiding is something you can do to avoid more lag and help keep up with the people playing on gaming machines. You won't be able to match the sheer power of those machines, but you may be able to avoid the needless lag that will put you further behind the curve.
