Carbonite replacement suggestions
As the title states, what do you use in place of carbonite. My main concerns/goals
an opposing faction alerter, (carbonite punks- until nUI 6.0 is released). a guide to pinpoint npcs, trainers, bank, fp, without having to speak to a city guard. Carbonite's warehouse, view your bank or GV anywhere (or some useful rules for arkinventory). Quest helper or quest guru? I need something that'll hightlight mob areas better than blizz does(like carbonite) I'm gonna go with gatherer for well gathering, duh and that should cover my needs |
Rofl, I actually never really needed anything like that at all. Before the new quest changes that Blizzard introduced I used QuestGuru and I used Gathermate as a lightweight option to Gatherer but apart from that I had no need.

There was something that turned me off gathermate, though I do recall I prefer it's HUD over gatherers

Warehouse - Altoholic For map highlighting, etc, I use Mapster - dunno if it'll be better for ya or not. As far as gathering, I don't have any gathering toons, ubt Gathermate would be lighter weight than Gatherer I think. |

What's so bad about Carbonite?
|
Nothing at all is wrong with carbonite but there is so much to it that I personally never wanted that once blizzard made it so there wasn't a carbonite quest and carbonite main addons but an all in one version I replaced my quest watcher with questguru. Now with the built in one even that is not needed.
|
Hm. I haven't tried running without Carbonite in quite a while. Maybe it's worth a look.
|
With 3.3 you CAN live without carbonite. Blizz's quest tracker is much better than before, but I prefer carbs ability to zoom in and see terrain detail that blizz's map doesn't show.
There's nothing wrong with carb just a bit of a mem hog. I'd prefer to just have nUI on, but I'm spoiled and need combuctor and altoholic; for leveling new toons I roll I can't live without zygor. Can't wait to see what, in addition to what Scott's promised will be in 6.0 |

Mapster, Gathermate, Routes, Handynotes (+LoD plugins for specific pre-populated notes), TomTom for the map-related functionality.
BankItems for bank / guild bank view from anywhere. LightHeaded (for generic quest help) and / or TourGuide (for specific guides) Spy or Stalker (curse hosted) for standalone enemy detection? (haven't used either of them) When you break it down like that you start to realize what a mammoth Carbonite is (conjecture as I don't / haven't used it, all I know is it keep spamming me with addon data :P) |

yea routes is another addon that i simply must have it makes gathering so much easier and faster but it never worked with carbonite in the first place.
and as far as map replacement i prefer cartographer 3 just for size and a few other options that i cant remember at the moment as i just woke up |
Carbonite has it's own built in "routes". Not sure why anyone would need that addon while Carbonite does a better job.

Did Blizz add brand new nodes lately?
|
Quote:
But given all it's features, seems better to piecemeal other addons together sometimes. I stopped using Carbonite a couple months ago when I realized it wasn't offering me anything I couldn't do without, or replace with a more efficient Addon. |
Sigh
People need to worry about cpu usage, not memory usage. I've been using Carbonite since it first came out, and never once had any performance issues with it. As far as accuracy, I've not had any issue like that with nodes since I began using the addon. |
