World of Warcraft is implementing major changes to add-ons in upcoming patches, restricting or making obsolete many popular tools that players rely on. These changes will affect how players experience raids, track damage, plan dungeon routes, and handle mechanics, forcing a shift back to core gameplay skills rather than add-on assistance.
• Deadly Boss Mods will be restricted, likely changing how players track boss abilities and mechanics
• Details damage meter restrictions suggest Blizzard may implement their own damage tracking system
• WeakAuras, one of the most powerful customization tools, will be heavily affected and players should start weaning off dependency
• Method Raid Tools changes will require players to develop genuine knowledge of dungeon routes and enemy forces
• Add-ons like Big Debuffs, Vuhdo, and Healbot that enhance the UI will likely be replaced by improved base UI features
• These restrictions suggest Blizzard plans significant UI improvements to incorporate essential functionality
• The changes aim to level the playing field and emphasize skill development over add-on reliance
• Many players who depend on these tools will need to adapt their playstyle significantly
