Top 10 Combat Addons for ESO

Combat addons are very popular in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). They can make your gameplay a lot easier and pleasant.

Combat Metrics Addon

Combat Metrics is an addon to track your fights and use it to analyse your fights to increase your DPS. You can see which skills caused what kind of damage and which enemy caused the incoming damage. You can see incoming and outgoing heals, check which buffs and debuffs were active during the fight and how many resources were used or regenerated. Combat Metrics is one of the most if not the most popular ESO addon for combat related gameplay.

Hodor Reflexes - DPS & Ultimate Share Addon

Hodor Reflexes is a User Interface combat addon that shares DPS and Ultimates to your group. This can be very handy if you need to see how much DPS you deal, or for healers and tanks to show when their Ultimate is ready. It is often used in a trial setting and recommended by trial leaders.

While the addon is enabled, it will try to automatically disable data sharing in the following addons: Raid Notifier, Bandits UI, Group Damage Share, Taos Group Tools, FTC. Any other addons that share ultimate/damage will conflict with Hodor Reflexes and increase the chances of getting kicked from the server.

Code’s Combat Alerts Addon for ESO

Code’s Combat Alerts helps you in giving you additional clues to the in-game clues which can sometimes be overlooked in hectic situations or when you are not entirely sure or not being able to focus too much on the game.

Such examples are Taking Aim, various Dodge Roll Mechanics (such as from bosses in Spindleclutch or Falkreath Hold) or Block. Especially with Taking Aim the windup of the mechanic is oftentimes 9 seconds, which many players don’t know, even though they might be seeing the visual clue. Timing a Dodge Roll correctly is very important in this case.

Foundry Tactical Combat (FTC) Addon

Foundry Tactical Combat is an interface enhancement for ESO which populates the game environment with active combat and player data allowing you to respond and react effectively to evolving combat situations. The default settings of this addon will feel familiar to veteran MMO players who miss certain features which are omitted from the default ESO user interface.

Greymind Quick Slot Bar Addon

The Greymind Quick Slot Bar helps with utilizing the quick slot bar in a better way than is currently available in ESO. It provides an expanded quick slot bar. You can click the desired item to switch your current quick slot item and then use it (as you always do) with your quick slot hotkey (default: Q)Probably more useful, is that you can also set up hotkeys (from the Escape menu -> Controls) and press the hotkey to set that item as the current quick slot item and then use it (default: Q).

Auto Recharge (and repair) Addon

Auto Recharge recharges and repairs your equipped weapons and armor automatically upon entering and leaving combat.

Features:

  • Recharge weapons if the charge drops below a threshold (at combat start, in combat, and after combat, optionally: As weapon pair changes)
  • Repair equipment if they drop below a threshold (at combat start, in combat, and after combat, optionally: No crown repair kits will be used)
  • Remind me after login/as fight ends if my soul gems drop below a threshold
  • Remind me after login/as fight ends if my repair kits drop below a threshold
  • Show my number of repair kits left at a vendor
  • Show info about what happened in the chat
  • Suppress chat messages if nothing was done etc.

Vampire’s Woe Addon

The Vampire's Woe add-on gives an option to suppress the vampire feeding synergy so it is easier to react to Blade of Woe becoming available. You will also be able to toggle suppressing the Blade of Woe synergy, as well as adding an additional keybind to toggle “Prevent Attacking Innocents”.

Normally the way the game handles these two abilities is if you are in range for vampire feeding but not Blade of Woe, the feeding synergy pops up. If you then move closer, close enough to be in range for Blade of Woe, the synergy message will change to Blade of Woe. If you move out of range of Blade of Woe but are still in range for feeding, it will switch back to the feeding popup. This will go back and forth so long as you are in range of one or the other. Being in range for Blade of Woe completely disables vampire feeding.

Harven’s Potions Alert Addon

The Harven's Potions Alert addon will automatically select a presetted quickslot when one of player attributes drop below defined value. It will also show an alert window with selected quickslot item icon and reminder message to press the quickslot key. There are three quickslots that can be defined in the addon setting window together with threshold values (health, magicka and stamina). The alert window position can be changed by dragging it. Health alert has the highest priority.

Global Cooldown (GCD) Bar Addon

The Global Cooldown Bar addon adds a bar to your screen that shows the remaining time on your global cooldown after doing anything that affects it. This allows you to get a better idea of when your game is ready to take the next action input, even when you may not be able to see your character's animation clearly.

BugCatcher will suppress error messages and let you know with an unobtrusive chat window message when it catches a bug. So you can play without stress. Bug Catcher is the no-nonsense addon that deals with the bugs and lets you just play.

And when you want to see those bugs? You have a nice bug catalogue to browse through, at your leisure.

Top 10 Housing Addons for ESO

Housing is one of the most popular features in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). Lets take a look at the top 10 housing addons for ESO.

Essential Housing Tools Addon

Essential Housing Tools (short EHT) is the ultimate tool for anyone wanting to take housing to the next level. This addon makes you able to do things you have only imagined so far, like fog, precise placement of your items, water pools, mechanisms and much much more!

Magic Carpet Addon

If you are sick of creating scaffolding just to build high up or get to a better vantage point, then the Magic Carpet addon tool is absolutely what you need. It makes you able to build anywhere in any home by giving you the power of flight. All that you need is decorator permission.

Go Home Addon

The Go Home addon allows you to create up to 10 keybindings for traveling to various houses you own and houses of your friends and guild.

DecoTrack Addon

The DecoTrack addon automatically maintain a database of the furniture items you have throughout all of your homes, characters, bank, storage coffers and storage chests.

Just visiting your bank, your homes and your storage chests and coffers catalogs the furniture placed there and logging in with your characters catalogs the furniture in their inventory. Any new furniture that you acquire and any furniture moves that you make are captured as well, automatically. Just be sure to leave DecoTrack enabled and it will do the rest.

Housing Hub Addon

The Housing Hub addon is a lightweight version of the Essential Housing Tools housing hub and already comes bundled with Essential Housing Tools - so if you use EHT already, you do not need to install this add-on separately.

Where’s My Guild Hall Addon

The Where's My Guild Hall addon shows the available "guild halls" for your guild on the guild home screen.

It allows you to set for each of your guilds individually if you want to assume that the guild master owns a guild hall, and/or if you want the addon to look for the "Guild Hall List" (GHL) addon marker characters "If you turn on Guild Master Owner, then the guild master will always be listed first in the guild halls list on the Guild home page. The guild master will then be followed by any guild members that have the GHL marker or "Guild Hall" marker in their guild member notes (if you have turned on Guild Hall List compatibility mode).

This addon conflicts with Guild Hall List - primarily because we try to use the exact same spot on the Guild page for our guild hall lists.
