I've had a few questions regarding my UI and which addons I use for raids, so I wanted to share the addons I use with a brief explanation of each.

-- Raid - My Most Important Addons --

• Better Timeline: Vertical timeline that uses BigWigs/DBM timers instead of the default ones

• BigWigs: Raid boss ability timers. I like that I can turn off timers for events that I don't care about and add a countdown to events that I want to know to prepare for

• CastCursor: Adds a GCD/cast/static circle around my cursor so that I don't lose track of it during raids

• Cooldown Manager Centered: Keeps the cooldown manager in the center of my screen when switching talents/specs and adds cooldown tracking for potions/trinkets

• Grid2: Raid frames. Not the most intuitive addon to set up and customize, but I found it to be much more efficient compared to other raid frames I tried (20+ FPS difference in some cases!)

• Mouseover Action Settings: Hides my action bars until I mouseover them. Can also hide all sorts of UI elements if you prefer

• Northern Sky Raid Tools: My guild uses this to coordinate cooldowns or provide raiders with specific instructions at certain points in a fight (e.g. "Use personals and health pots")

• Platynator: Nameplates. I use Jundies' profile: wago.io/zaiOOdVa1

• RCLootCouncil: Used by my guild to distribute loot

• SharedMedia_Causese: Adds sounds that can be used with other addons. I use this with BigWigs so I can add custom sounds to certain events. For example, during Demiar's Interrupting Tremor, I have BigWigs play a sound saying "Stop Cast"

• Unhalted Unit Frames: Unit/target/focus/boss frames. Helps me track debuffs and casts more easily than the default unit frames

-- Other Addons --

• All The Things: an addon to help track mounts/pets/transmogs to collect

• Auctionator: Auction house addon

• Chattynator: Chat frame addon

• ImprovedAddonList: I create different addon sets for different activities (e.g. separate addon sets for raids, dungeons, open world) and can load them whenever I'm focused on that activity. This helps me load only the addons I need for each activity. For example, I can turn off an addon that uses a lot of memory (like All The Things) during raids

• Leatrix Plus: Has a bunch of quality-of-life tweaks

• LittleWigs: Dungeon ability timers

• TipTac Reborn: Allows adding extra info and changing the look of the default tooltip

• World Quest Tab: Helps filter/track world quests. I usually use this to quickly filter and complete world quests that offer gold rewards

That's basically it! I hope that helps, and please let me know if you have any questions.
