1
General Aberrus By Causese

A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of...).

2
Co Tank Weakaura By Causese

Another must have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.


Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
