Raiding Addons
First off, hello, new to the guild (druid), thanks for the invite. I didn't see any required mods for the guild to raid, and since it has been so long for me since I have raided, was wondering if there were any suggestions outside of dbm that would make my life easier and keep me from getting blinders and blowing people up. Any suggestions would be helpful. I currently use the following.
MiK
DBM
Xperl
Bartender
Badkitty
Thanks again.
Yeah, pretty much! The addon game is largely what makes your life easier. Many of us run a lot of mods but they're mostly to make it easier to play our classes -- alert mods like Power Auras or data mods like Recount or Skada -- as a raid leader we have other tools we like to use, too, but for the most part the only one we absolutely depend on you to have is Deadly Boss Mods. The rest is totally up to you! The ones you've listed pretty much handle the basics, so aside from small things like Prat or WoW Instant Messenger or Auctioneer or whatever other 'extras' you can find, I'd say you're all set!!
Welcome aboard ;-)
I used to use Bad Kitty but now my heart belongs to Drood Focus. Highly customizeable and it took me a long time to set it up the way I like it but now I can't imagine playing without it. The rest of your addons are solid...the only other one is maybe Omen Threat Meter but tanks don't usually have threat issues anymore (unless Cece is texting while Crazyjake is blowing his cooldowns.) :-)

More like lag issues these days. I hardly text during raids nowadays(shocking I know)

To my knowledge, DBM is currently the only mod required for raiding. It does everything needed. That, with the other mods you have should be just fine for all your raiding needs :)
