I used to play without add-ons

dragovianknightThen last expac I installed Deadly Boss Mods because raiding is a pita without it.
Now, somehow, in an expansion where I've raided TWICE, I have wound up installing an add-on to modify the mob nameplates from Blizzard's current "late 80s unadorned healthbar" aesthetic back to the actually informative nameplates WoW used to have. I still have DBM, of course. I have an add-on that's supposed to make tab targeting work (but tab targeting is still really fucking broken). I, gods help me, have done what I thought I would never do and installed a custom UI add-on (I will never be able to go back to the default UI).
And since I started maining my tank, I have installed an add-on to make my stagger % easily visible at a glance, and WeakAuras so I can track the duration of my Ironskin Brew, which Blizzard hides up in the corner with the other buffs.
Did I mention I'm NOT EVEN FUCKING RAIDING? *facepalm*
(I mean, yes, I do hope to start tagging along in raids withqueenoftheskies's guild, but even if I do that regularly, it won't be as a tank. I don't know what I'm doing.)
Oh, and on my hunter I have an add-on to shriek an alarm at me when my pet's health gets too low, though 9 times out of 10 the correct answer to that is "fuck Mend Pet, I'mma let it die and use Heart of the Phoenix to re-summon it at full health."

Then I used those to grind my monk to level cap so he could be my main (I didn't know he'd wind up my main at the time, but Legion dropped and my hunter was so horrifically gimped that, yeah. New main. On which I can solo current-content dungeons instead of waiting until next expansion, so.)
