By default, WoW Classic won't mark quest locations or objectives on your map and instead relies on you actually reading the quest text - the horror! Damage Meter Classic is one of the most popular damage meters in the modern game, and this is the Classic port. It gives you warnings for events that are happening during boss-fight encounters, timers for when the next events in the fight are going to happen, and advice for what to do as a result. Pick up this addon on the WeakAuras 2 download page.

If you don't feel confident building your own, you can import WeakAuras made by other players. As this is something I often forget to do, especially as the duration is half as long as it is in modern Warcraft, it's a neat little reminder. The simple WeakAura in the example above will put an icon on my screen if my priest hasn't been buffed with Power Word: Fortitude. It can be used to track pretty much anything you can think of and is commonly used to keep track of cooldowns or to give a visual indicator of spell procs or buffs based off any number of triggers. WeakAuras is a popular addon in modern Warcraft, and much of its functionality has been translated to Classic. You can find out more on the Threat Plates Classic download page. This is especially handy if you're in a dungeon or raid because it makes it easy to tell if you have threat against an enemy.
