Many of us who come from the private server community know that we play on the 1.12 client, and now when Classic WoW has been moved on to the legion client. many of you are probably a bit lost when it comes to what addons will be developed for the new game engine.
But due to the extreme hype for Classic WoW, many addon developers have gotten back into the business and many old school addons have been picked up by new developers to bring them back into the modern take of Vanilla.
So with that, let’s go over some of the best addons we know that are confirmed ready for Classic WoW.
1. Recount DPS Meter
