In Part 1, I discussed the Curse client. Now I recommend addons that have minimal impact on the user experience, but that I consider essential. Note that I take no responsibility for downloads, and have no affiliation with their authors. These are just what work for me, at this time.
Addon Control Panel
Sylvanaar's Addon Control Panel adds an "Addons" menu to the game menu (available via Esc), allowing you to manage options for other addons. I consider this particular one absolutely, positively essential in order to manage many of your addons.
Error Monster
Error Monster is an addon that lets you filter ability error messages (for when you mash buttons too fast). Pretty simple, right?
BadBoy Spam Blocking
The core BadBoy addon filters out spam, scams, and the such. While Blizzard has gone to great lengths to minimize the intrusive spam, BadBoy eliminates it entirely. Options are managed by typing /badboy. Note that it doesn't block RealID friends, guild members, and party members, nor do these additions to BadBoy:
Spamage Meters
SM filters Recount DPS meter results from chat, replacing them with a link so that you can view them when you want to, but otherwise ignore them.
Pawn Item Scoring
Pawn is a handy little addon that shows how much of an upgrade/downgrade each item available in bags is. It also shows on quest rewards.
Scrap
Scrap is a quick and easy addon that sells all junk items when you visit a merchant. Pair with Pawn Scrap to identify junk gear and with ScrapCleaner to auto-delete the least valuable scrap item in your inventory when your bag fills up.
In Part 3, I'll discuss addons that have a large impact on combat, but may have a larger impact on the UI.
