		<description>tekkub! You did Rawr?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Wow, now that is a celebrity, in my opinion!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well, Ferocious Bite did a full size story on Rawr, and since I live over on her site, I assumed so did everyone else.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I'll try and be good.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And I DID Bear on Bear action, on my Zul'Aman bear boss video. I DID!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Honest!</description>

		<description>Aside from BigWigs (which really isn't mine anymore)... I see no mention of my addons.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;FOR SHAME!  You should be supporting a fellow bear/cub here.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And where's that bear on bear action you promised me?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes I know, I'm like 2 weeks late on the comment, but damnit there's just way too many things in my RSS reader to keep up with anymore.</description>

		<description>Some very interesting stuff there - must try a few of them when I get off from work :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have a question that some of you might be able to answer. It's probobly pretty simple, but I'm at a loss trying to figure it out.&lt;br/&gt;I'm using Cooldowntimers 2 and really like it. I've placed the cooldownbars on different parts of my screen and locked them in place (as it's done when you first install it). My problem is that I can't figure out how to "unlcok" them again so I can redesign my layout of the bars on my screen. Some of them are a bit overlapping and I'd like to clean it up.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I really hope there's an easy though somewhat eluding solution to this :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cheers Morannon of Darksorrow.</description>

		<description>Mmm. I am a Pitbull unit frame user. It might have some things you like like a thin druid mana bar while you are in bear form and a couple other bells and whistles.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The only trick is that... its SUPER customizable and basically you will spend a week getting it the way you like. &lt;.&lt; Wowace forums has a couple people showing their setups for ideas/swiping though.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nice to see your list as I begin to level my druid. I was worried there was secret druid Addons that I was unaware of. XD</description>

		<description>The first add-on I installed and the only one I really, really can't live without is &lt;b&gt;Cartographer&lt;/b&gt;.  I was shocked when I started playing WoW and realized there was no way to mark destinations on the map.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I'll second recommendations for &lt;b&gt;Quartz&lt;/b&gt;.  It's not Ace2 but it's almost a necessity for casters.  For a tank, it would show incoming spells so you know when to interrupt or at least what's going to hit you.  The swing timer is also nice so you don't have to button-mash.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Omen&lt;/b&gt; is better than KTM because it uses less memory and broadcasts less.  It was built around a philosophy of minimalism, which is good for maintaining framerate.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If your healers are using &lt;b&gt;VisualHeal&lt;/b&gt;, you might like to have it installed as well.  It will show you incoming heals to help you decide whether to pop a potion.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I like &lt;b&gt;BankItems&lt;/b&gt;, a lightweight Ace2 addon that will track what's in your bank, the guild bank (as of your last visit), and the bags and banks of all your alts.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I'm not a fan of Recount/stat type add-ins.  I think they create bad habits and misunderstandings between players</description>

		<description>I found the amazing addon called Lightheaded and won't even attempt to quest without it :) I would suggest you trying it out for an alt and seeing how you like it!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What it does is make another box beside your basic quest box that gives the basic XP gained, who you got the quest/ where you turn it in(and click on the name for basic coords!), etc. Then, you can click the little arrows at the bottom and it displays the comments people have left on that quest from Wowhead! Makes questing so much easier instead of having to tab out and look it up! &lt;br/&gt;http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7017-LightHeaded.html</description>

		<description>Regarding switching to WowAce addons, a few popped into my mind while reading your article...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outfitter&lt;/b&gt; - A highly recommended replacement for Item Rack (or Closet Gnome). While Outfitter isn't naturally Ace'd, I recommend getting &lt;a HREF="http://files.wowace.com/FuBar_OutfitterFu/FuBar_OutfitterFu.zip" REL="nofollow"&gt;FuBar_OutfitterFu&lt;/a&gt;, which allows you to control it from your Fubar.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Boss Mods&lt;/b&gt; - As you said, BigWigs (and it's little brother LittleWigs) is a very viable replacement for DBM, and it's very easy to update using WAU.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;SW Stats&lt;/b&gt; - As has been mentioned, &lt;a HREF="http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Recount" REL="nofollow"&gt;Recount &lt;/a&gt;is an excellent Ace alternative (which also has a bunch more amazing features such as graphs and charts that can really help you out if you use them correctly).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scrolling Combat Text&lt;/b&gt; - There's an alternative coded by ckknight called &lt;a HREF="http://files.wowace.com/Parrot/Parrot.zip" REL="nofollow"&gt;Parrot&lt;/a&gt; which was designed to replace SCT. Also highly recommended.</description>

		<description>An addendum to that:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you get Recount (Preservation), you'll want to tell your WoWAceUpdater to ignore Recount, as updating that will overwrite it with the original.</description>
