Addon tip : Steal Your Carbon (SYC)

As Tekkub says: StealYourCarbon is a simple reagent restocker addon. When you visit a vendor who sells an item you have told SYC to buy, it buys it for you. Never run out of water again!

And that's exactly it. On my druid i just told SYC to restock reagents for buffing as well as two stacks of something to drink for Mana. My Death Knight is happy with dust always availble and Rogue with his poisonsnever missing from his invetory. But be warned, SYC will not help you to remember to go to vendor and open trade :)

Addon tip : Warmup

Well, Warmup from Tekkub is quite "old". And it has not been updated for long time. But still it's tool of tremendous value. Recently i had problem of very slow game loading (and reloading) - obviously some add-ons were taking too much time to load. And Warmup is something that can help - install  it, start your game, then use any addon manager to enable this addon and reload your UI. After that type /wu and look through complete list of add-ons and time taken for their load (scroll with mouse scroll wheel). Those yellow might still be OK, but anything red (and let say over 0.5 sec) is certainly worth of checking. 

I have found few addons taking more than one second to load. Some of the were not necessary for playing, so they were removed. For some others i checked for new versions and seems the loading time in those is better. And with rest, like Armory/Auctioneer, well, i have to live with their longer loading times.

Addon tip: SmartBuff

SmartBuff (Curse download for example) is handy addon for any class responsible for buffing in party/raid. And helpfull even if you solo. It just takes care of all buffs you should have or buff your party/raid and remind you when there is need to buff something. Buffing can be automated - in my case i just use scrolling button on mouse (down) to buff anything needed. Addon can be configured for particular instances and situations to make life even more easier.

Spirit Beast tamed

I always wanted to have a rare pet on my hunter alt and I wanted either Loque'nahak or Gondria. Since Monday I believe in miracles :) What happened? As usually I was leveling with my friend in The Storm Peaks. There's no time to read chat or whispers too much, we go...we run...questing in a rush. So we are running and I just got some group inv. "Yea, that's some ninja invite again" I was thinking to myself. But suddenly some hunter asking me if I'm BM. And I am because of the exotic pets I wanted to tame. So I answer - yes. "Come, I have a spirit beast for you, Gondria". Wow, I was excited, shivering! The fastest way to meet was leave our current group and inv the hunter, so I did. Can this be real? Or is someone playing with me? No, it was real. The hunter said he already has this beast and just wanted to give opportunity to another hunter. I was so lucky! I put Freezing trap and started to tame. Uhm, I was a bit wild and I think there was some elite mob near, I think the hunter had to kill it so I could tame my beast. I really don't remember :) so I want to give my big thanks to him again, he could just kill Gondria for achievement/loot, but he were so kind to help me to tame her, he was Mithrael from Peacekeepers.

Addon tip : Satrina Buff Frames

Satrina Buff Frames is good replacement for standard buff frames from Blizzard. Even in it's basic form it offers few important enhancements - buffs can be placed inline (vertical or horizontal) and separated between buffs and debuffs more clearly. Obvious additions are better visible timers and change in size/form. For those more advanced there are tons of options and possibilities. And if you like "bar" view, even that is possible.

You can combine them with Quartz into something good and practical to use. Quartz offers better representation of cast bar and buffs/debuffs at target and focus frame. For my moonkin Quartz offers mainly better overview of various DoTs placed there - it's easier to see them fading and requiring renew.

Main reason for switching to Satrina Buff Frames was for me need to list buffs and debuffs as one line atop of the screen (i just love lot of free space) with better visibility of debufs. And SBF does it marvelously.

Addon tip : MarkBar

This is an adjustable toolbar with raid target icon buttons; quicker and easier than the standard UI target popup menu. It also allows to set icons descriptions (ie sheep, sap,...) and party member assignments in order to dump that info in the chat.
