Contrary to popular belief, addons were part of the original experience in The Burning Crusade. We've put together a selection of the best addons dedicated to PvE in the expansion.
Of course, there are many others that are useful or more specific, but here we will only focus on the most useful for the majority of PvE players.
Atlas Burning Crusade
Put simply, Atlas Classic WoW and AtlasLootClassic are the ancestors of the Shadowlands Adventurer's Journal.
Not only do they show you the loot tables for each boss in the game, thanks to a widely supplied database, but they even give you the drop rates of most items, as well as maps of each instance. Essential.

Attune
Attune allows you to follow the progress of your character in obtaining access to the various raids of Burning Crusade Classic in real time, but it also allows your guild leader to know where each of the members of the roster are in obtaining them.

Auctionator Classic TBC
Auctionator is the simplified version of Auctionneer, that a good number of players know on Shadowlands. It has all, or almost all, of its basic features, to ensure unparalleled efficiency when buying or selling on the Auction House.
Since this is the best place to get gold in WoW, this is a must-have addon, whether you buy or sell regularly on the Auction House or not.

BigWigs Classic BC and Deadly Boss Mods BC
Although less effective than on Shadowlands, BigWigs is available for Burning Crusade Classic and is said to be the most effective at this time. Its counterpart, Deadly Boss Mods - Classic is also available, with the differences between the two minimal.
For the rare players who do not know these two addons, they allow you to track the abilities to come from the bosses of each raid, allowing you to position accordingly and plan your moves. A must have!

Details! Damage Meter TBC
Details recently appeared in WoW Classic. A powerful tool, it is the most reputable and efficient of all DamageMeters, and even has a built-in threat management function.
For players unfamiliar with this addon, it works on the same principle as Recount and Skada, but adds many features in addition to the basic DPS and HPS measurement provided by group players.
- It is possible to get Details! Damage Meter Classic by following this link.
OmniCC BCC
OmniCC allows you to add text to items, spells and abilities that are on cooldown. Whether they are in your inventory, your spell bar or anywhere else, a countdown is indicated when one of them enters CD, allowing better overall visibility and therefore better management of your character in battles.

Prat 3.0.1 Classic
A very important addon, especially for players getting link spammed by their friends, Prat allows you to modify the chat window to your liking. The major feature of this addon is that it makes web links clickable in-game, making it a must have for anyone.

Warning: It is possible that the game detects this addon as outdated. Normally, it still works, but if you have a problem, consider deactivating it while waiting for a stable version for Burning Crusade Classic to be released by its creator.
Questie TBC
Questie is the ultimate leveling addon, without distorting too much of the original experience offered by Burning Crusade Classic.
In particular, it allows you to stop going around in circles for hours on end looking for a quest objective, by showing you where it is on your map and minimap. Almost essential during leveling, even if it has a little "Retail" flavor that anti-Retailers will not appreciate.

WeakAuras BCC
WeakAuras 2 is arguably the most powerful addon ever created for World of Warcraft, since it allows you to track down any technique, buff, debuff or whatever and notifies you when the events you choose actually occur.
Everything can be tracked using this addon, from a simple personal buff to boss abilities normally invisible to the average player's eye, making it the most essential of all addons -- even in Burning Crusade Classic.

WeaponSwingTimer SixxFix
Indispensable in PvE for tanks and especially melee players (plus Hunters), this addon informs you when your target's next automatic attack will take place, and when yours will be triggered.
This allows tanks to anticipate damage to come, which is handy on a boss like Maulgar, while it allows DPS players to line up their rotations based on their next auto attacks without delaying them.

In Burning Crusade Classic, there are 27 specializations, plus Bear Form for the Druid. Whether you want to heal, tank or DPS in PvE, our tier list includes all class specializations and their updated rankings for the 2021 version of World of Warcraft's first expansion, The Burning Crusade.
