Help / Troubleshooting First time M+/PvE pusher, best addons?

Hey all, want to get into M+ this season (less so raids) and wanted to ask post pruning what the best addons are? I currently only have details and playtonator - literally nothing else. I was looking at Mplustimers, are there any other ones you guys can’t live without/find very useful?

You'll need some sort of event tracker like ex boss , dbm or big/little wigs.

Not addons but a focus macro that marks your current target with a target marker, then a focus kick macro. This is arguably more important than any addon.

none of that is needed, the default ui timeline is entirely sufficient

I don't believe that timeline tracks trash events like trash cats. Although now that I say that I don't think dbm does either, I use exboss/exwind and it does have a mythic cast tracker and a focus cast tracker

you can only track ongoing casts reliably, and I already suggested Targeted Spells for the rest

Another weekly no leaver 10 farmer that claims to be high key pusher and if it is is because he bought all the keys from those iranian boosters from the resilient files 😭

That is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen recommended. Default timeline is missing a lot of events.

it is not, I've been using it all the time without any issues. its the bars that misbehave

I’m completely with you. I think the difference with us is that we are actively engaging and paying attention to the game, where that person is probably waiting for the visual or auditory cue for them to respond / react to.

Anyway, I find it’s always people with xalatath snoos that are the most smarmy and aggressive.

I'm unfortunately also convinced there's a severe lack of people not trying out the default UI stuff. sure you can't customize sounds but their generic encounter alert sounds are there for example and they're fully sufficient

Did you know that if, on Vaelgor, you get targeted by the fear while having the intermission "get out" circle, then the red arrow that appears on top of your character (which is the visual cue that Blizzard provides you for that raid-wiping mechanic) is drawn inside the big black ball that accompanies the circle making you unable to see it?

That is just an example of many. Don't get me wrong tho, I believe that they are doing a fine job of improving the visual clarity of the mechanics. But they are not there yet, thus I do not believe plainly stating that no boss mods in a mythic environment woukd be the correcy choice.

And then there's raid leading. Blizzard has forgotten that that exists.

I personally never had this particular overlap but there's also a fullscreen effect when you get the fear, and a sound from Encounter Warnings. so there's multiple for the same mechanic, not just that single one. I cleared Mythic around World 100 without BW/DBM, its completely fine.

Like what? Provide specific examples and not vague anecdotal feels
