Best addons for dungeons and raids in WoW Forever

Updated 1 Nov 2026 · 6 of 6 picks have a Forever version · statuses come from the compatibility tracker

Forever adds nine new five-player dungeons from level 13, and on 9 December three raids open for level-60 characters: Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia's Lair. These are the addons groups lean on.

Boss mods are the special case: they need encounter data for the new bosses, which arrives in updates after people have fought them. Update on raid day.

Missing on purpose for now: Cell and OmniCD are popular but have no Forever release yet. We'll add them back when they do; their pages track it.
