USER ENTRIES:

Thelonius:
http://www.stage6.com/user/thelonius/video/2091427/Dispel-&-YOU

Note: more are included in the package, but i dont use the majority of them anymore, and never deleted them.
Addon Package: http://files.filefront.com/Jecks+Addonsrar/;9446371;/fileinfo.html

Aloft:
This addon allows you to customize combat frames. if you've ever pressed "V" or "CTRL V" and saw bars pop up for people around you, well this mod lets you customize those bars.

Atlas & Atlasloot:
This mod holds a database for all maps and items in the game. good for research or just seeing how awesome you'd look in that set of gear you've always wanted =P

Auctioneer:
This mod remembers information from the auction house. i use it mostly because im lazy. it remembers pricing for things i sell on the AH, or checks the average price that its being sold for, and makes an estimated value. so basically, i drop an item in the AH box that i want to sell and im done, it does automatic pricing.

Bagon:
A bag mod, makes my bags all in one instead of a bunch of clunky ones. has other features too.

Bongos2:
A button mod! this mod allows you to bind keys directly to your spell book or via thousands of button slots (if there is a human being that can bind over 1,000 buttons, my hat goes off to you). You might notice there arent any buttons on my screen. this mod allows me to hide them all.

Capping:
This mod shows information about BG's and que times. such as time until a tower in AV is capped.

Cartographer (and the package):
I use this mod only for herbing really. you can use it to create lines on your map too, basically leading you from herb to herb in the best order. ill provide a SS later if you herbalists care enough.

Cooling & JIM's Cooldown Pulse:
These are the mods i use to track my cooldowns. cooling shows all my cooldowns with timers of when they'll be usable again. cooldown pulse quickly flashes abilities in the center of my screen when theyre up again, as an additional reminder.

DHUD:
Shows my health and mana. i turn off literally 95% of the options, so play around with it and you might find something useful.

eCastingBar:
This will show your cast bar, targets cast bars, focus cast bars, etc. its very customizable too.

ElkanoBuffBars:
Coolest buff/debuff track mod ever. i havent dabbled into the good stuff yet, but you can do some crazy stuff with this mod. for example, you can have it show specific buffs in a specific location, or even change the names of buffs. i plan to change "Unstable Affliction" to "OMG YOU GOT HERPS!" =P.

Healbot:
i went over this in my video slightly, i could talk about it for hours. its simply amzing. i custom edited the files a little to allow the bars to be bigger, and if you need i can show how to do that as well. its a bit tricky and you need to play with the code.

Itemrack:
allows keybindings to change gear sets. so at the push of a button, im in my pve gear, or naked (wink wink), or pvp gear, OR SMITE GEAR!, etc.

MagicTrack:
this is a great addon, kind of underground atm. i dont use it anymore because i can implement the same ideas into Mik's, but its very easy to use if you dont have the time to play around with Mik's.

Mik'sScrollingCombatText:
went over some of this in my video. simply put this mod can do anything but fix the kitchen sink.

MoveAnything:
i think this is outdated, but i use it to turn off the blizzard default frames.

Pitbull:
my target, target of target, target of target of target, focus target, mouseover target, etc frame mod. tons of options. i love options, dey feel gud.

Power Auras:
i think i went over this in the videos enough to make you bored to tears.

Proximo:
this is a MUST HAVE!!!!! for anyone who does arena. it shows your enemy's health bars, which you can then set macros to. in your keybindings, you can set right click to enemy 1, enemy 2, etc. well, what good is this? you can set right click to a macro or ability. so for example i have macros set to cast dispel on enemy 1, enemy 2, etc. if im ever at a point where im idle, i can just smash those buttons and watch my enemies buffs be stripped.

QuestHelper:
A must have for leveling. it basically allows you to watch tv as you level. does all the work for you. a little arrow appears on your minimap, you follow it, quests get done.

Ranger:
went over this in the video, range indicator.

TargetCheck:
shows who in your raid is targetting your current target, or who isnt. has class filters as well, and will even show their mana bars. very useful for raid healers to see whos already about to heal your target, and if they have enough mana.

Titan Panel:
and all the goodies that come with it. has lots of status checks.

XPerl Core (ONLY THE CORE!)
i dont use XPerl unit frames, however i keep the core part of the addon active. it shows player names by color for class.

1v2 is probably the most fun ive ever had in this game. i donno how many fights i wanna record before i make the next video. i think the entire video will be 1v2 with commentaries. or maybe i should throw in a few of the old fashioned bits, we'll see.

Jeck that would be sick if you do a priest version of the "I suck at dueling/PvP" movies that are for mages.
If you haven't seen them its basically a bunch of fights against different classes with commentaries on what to do and when and tips.

btw thanks for remaking the thread :)

Loved your videos even though I am not into Arena. And love Jim's Cooldown Pulse. I think I may check out a few of your other addons as well. Thanks!

Jeck, I'm sure you've received a ton of spam (I can only imagine).

I'll be honest. I have 3 70s (warrior/priest/warlock) and have played the warrior and priest since launch. My warrior saw most of everything through Naxx and raided in BC, but I became thoroughly burnt out from raiding and needed something new to do. I've always pvp'd casually on my priest and loved it- melee mechanics in pvp were never my thing. I had bgs worked out on my priest to an artform and was continually asked to join arena teams. Unfortunately, I always sucked in the arena and after I had everything I wanted out of bgs, the game stopped being fun and I found myself logging in less and less. I was specced right, more than adequately geared, thought I was pillar humping correctly, etc, etc, but we would continually lose.

If there's anything I've learned about priests since I started one at launch, it's that they have a LOT of quirks. I suppose those quirks and tricks were what kept me coming back to mine. Of the classes I've played, they're the easiest to do alright in, but the most difficult to master. A pally can spam holy light retardedly on a target and get in a raid, but a truly skilled (pve) priest is invaluable. I think the same follows for pvp.

Anyway, the game has become fun again and I just wanted to thank you for that.

meh i think im done with 1v2. as fun as it is, any fight with a healer on the opposing team takes about 20 minutes to beat. each fight would take up an entire video's worth. im ganna try to get busta to do 2v3 on his warrior with me instead.

Jeck for Prez

One of the most useful class-related posts ever. Should be stickied.

Thanks for taking the time bud.

Nothing says "I love you" more to a pally then a quick shot of Mass Dispel.
