Wow Addons

Whether you’ve been playing a mage for a week or for years, there are usually things we can all do more efficiently to maximize our damage. There’s a big difference between theorycraft and practical damage. Many factors affect damage dealing execution: lag, reaction time, environmental hazards, RNG, and of course player error. Your damage is also dependent on your gear, spec and talent choice, but that’s not what we’re looking at this week. Instead, we’re considering ways that will allow any spec of mage to see an improvement in their damage immediately.

I don't typically run with an elaborate addon configuration in World of Warcraft, and patch day is most of the reason why. It's not that I object to addons in any way, but I find it a nuisance to keep them up to date and working — especially when patch day rolls around. After all, the default UI is good enough... isn't it?
