New Raiding Addons Pack
Expanding upon the installer I created last week for Omen, I've created an installer pack for the latest versions of not only Omen, but also BigWigs and Violation.
You can get the pack from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?j7d0jh2osmt
I'm aware that people have had their own opinions on which threat meter is best, etc., so my rationale in choosing these particular addons is as follows:
Omen: Because of the way it's written (event-driven vs. polling, if you want the technical version), it not only updates the display a lot more frequently (and thus is more accurate) than KTM, but uses a lot less processing time in doing so.
BigWigs: This one is a closer call. I feel that BigWigs uses less memory and works more efficiently than Deadly Boss Mods.
Violation: It's small, and light, and does almost everything USEFUL that the other meters do. DamageMeters no longer works with 2.4, and the author has no intention of updating it. SW-Stats has had some rough updates for 2.4 but seems to have not had a lot of care and attention paid to its functionality in the light of the new combat log. Recount, while very functional, and able to produce some very pretty real-time graphs and charts, is also very "heavy" in terms of the memory that it occupies and the processor time that it chews up.
If you particularly want one of the others, you can choose not to install a particular addon when you install this pack.
Would you like to see other addons added to this pack? I'm not necessarily talking about raid-specific addons here, but this could also be a more general project for our addon management.
