| go to curse.com, and get the curse client and let it install your addons for you, as for which ones to get it is really prefference, most addons have pics of what they look like, i would suggest tidy and threat plates as a minimum, also there are ui compilations that you can get that will give you most of the addons you could possibly need, elvui, luiv3 to name a couple

Xpearl, Spell Flash, Recount, Reforginator, DBM, GTFO, Bartender, NPCScan, Gathermate 2, Silver Dragon, Atlasloot, Auctioneer (or Auctionator, I can't remember). These are just a few I can think of off the top of my head. |

Bagnon, Postal, and Decursive are great. Also, might want to throw in Altoholic if you have multiple toons. Easy way to see who has what in their inventories.

Deadly Boss Mods (Boss notifications)
Omen (Threat monitor)
Ovale Spell Priority (Rotation Help)
Bagnon (Bag management)
Postal (Post box tool)
WeakAuras (Rotation\Timer\Buff Help) - (Awesome but take alot of work to setup. Suggest downloading strings for your class)
CrapAway (Auto sells greys)
I also am a big fan of the spartan UI, but that is an entire UI change not just extra an addon. Look for more on curse and let curse manage them.

How do you like the Ovale? Is that one addon for all classes? Or are there multiple addons like there is for Spell Flash?

The major utility addons are Bagnon, Deadly Boss Mods, and Recount. If he's going to do any sort of configuration and testing of various addons to see if he likes them, I also recommend Addon Control Panel, so he can enable/disable without relogging.
Though, addons are highly personal (as in, people choose what they want from all over the place), so it would be very hard to suggest exactly what your son had before/would want, without knowing his specific needs.
The Curse Client is a good way to have a controlled downloading environment as mentioned by someone else, for the specific purpose of downloading and installing addons (which are just interpreted scripts and XML, so "installing" is a "extract for ZIP" operation), and would work well if you want him to set up his own addons. |

Havent used Spell Flash but Ovale has some presets and you can download different customized sets for it also.
Nickdres - I definitely forgot about Addon control Panel. I use it every day almost.

Skada.
I've been getting warnings from the client that an addon was being blocked for attempting to call a Blizzard-only argument. So far, it has asked me to shut down Bagnon most of the time, but Skada a few times whenever I change talents around. Is anyone else getting these errors? So, thanks to Addon Control Panel, I let it shut down whatever addon it doesn't like, I move my talents around, and then I re-enable the addon. I hope the problem goes away soon, though. I plan on swapping talents around as often as Sanctisimo changes his tmog.

| Quartz... I use that... and it hasn't really been updated in a looooooong time. Anyone know of an actively maintained spell cast bar?
I also really like TipTac. I hate where the Mouseover information window pops up... so TipTac allows me to move it and have all mouseover information show up in the same place of my choosing. |

THIS IS A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO LAUGH AT BLIZZARD FOR TECHNICAL REASONS.
So, here's the skinny on these bugs.
In LUA, functions can return multiple values. Sometimes you don't care about one of those values, so you end up using a throwaway to make sure you get the right index. _ (a valid variable in LUA) is commonly used.
So something like:
_, name = GetUnitInfo()
You'd then use the name variable later, and you'd ignore the _, because really, who names variables _?
Furthermore, variables in LUA are global unless declared local. Most people don't put a "local _" declaration anywhere, because who the hell is using _ as an important variable? (see below for answer!)
NOW
In WoW, there's a concept called "taint". I'm not too sure of the specifics, but basically secure functions can only use untainted variables. This is how they prevetn addons from doing certain things like auto-cast and whatnot. So addons taint variables all the time. Like the _ variable, which no one in their right mind should use for real data.
EXCEPT
The Blizzard Glyph and Talent UIs do.
So some addon taints _, and then blizzard tries to pass it into a secure function.
True, the addon devs could hide that with a local and not pollute the global namespace, but its SO COMMON that I would hope Blizzard would just name their variable something USEFUL instead of just passing it around.
The practical consequence of this is you can fix your addons by adding "local _" to the top of the first LUA file loaded, but that's annoying and would be very error prone. Some addons are already updated to do this.
The other thing you can usually do is just reload and do the glyph/talent swap immediately, with no disabling. The line of code that taints the global _ probably doesn't run right after reload. |

| Goldheart (and any other enchanters out there), since we're leveling out professions again you'll likely be dropping several enchants on the same piece of gear.
Use the addon "SmartEnchant." It will get rid of the confirmation box you have to click when replacing an enchant on a piece of gear. Small convenience but worth it if you're enchanting the same things 20 times in a row.
