So I would like to pvp mostly and I know there would probably be good with a different ui, hotbar/actionbars, some kinda timer to keep track of cooldowns and dots etc. Then im kinda noob at these things and kindly take suggestions on any addons that could be good thanks in advance.

well probably not I just want some addons to have a nice UI better actionbars and a nice casting bar so. I won't see those discusting regular ones and it would help abit some addons just "abit".

I think there is an addon pack in one of these threads that has a few hundred addons. I would suggest finding it (google search wow 1.12 addons should also work) and trying them out on another 1.12 server while you wait for this to go live. It's as easy as changing your realmlist.wtf file.

For a casting bar, I'd suggest oCB.
For moving stuff you can try MoveAnything
For actionbars, bartender is fairly popular and not particularly complicated.
As for unit frames and the like, a lot of people likes XPerl (my personal preference if I'm to use that is Perl Classic), Luna Unit frames is pretty solid too.
OmniCC gives a numeric cd countdown on your skills.

Personally I've found that which addons to use are more of a personal preference. Trial and error is the way to go, start with a few and expand your use if you feel like it.

I agree with oCB that is a very nice cast bar

also, when i had xperl on ED and joined group LuA errors would spam pop up :( idk how to fix it

I went through a quite a few and tested them.

Atlas / AtlasLoot / Cartographer / CMap / CustomNamePlates / DamageMeters / Move Anything / Onebag / ShaguQuest (really nice it adds most quest locations) Xperl, All can be found on the addons forum.

Searching through an amount of 1k addons is just annoying, those are the ones I find to be working and good. I still need more but thats a good list for me
