Overview

It is important that the first thing you know is that ArenaNet in no way supports these Add-ons. They don’t appear to break any rules of the Terms Of Service, but we must stress you use them at your own risk. Be careful and be smart about what you download and how you use them. Disclaimer aside, these following add-ons are the best available and will likely improve your Guild Wars 2 experience significantly. 

Immersive Combat Mode

This one has been out for a while and is probably the most commonly used out of all Guild Wars 2's Add-ons. With this Add-on your game will feel a great deal smoother and in the process, it'll clean up the user interface so that it's as minimal as possible. All the Add-on does is removes the requirement to permanently hold down the right mouse button to look and instead automatically holds it down for you when you toggle it on. In addition and similarly to Tera, you can aim in the direction of your opponent with the free-look at you'll target them.

Personal Assistant Overlay

This is one incredible overlay. Need WvW information? It’ll bring up pop-up messages about any WvW map as well as showing you the status of each capture point within a WvW map you’re on. Need some help finding points of interest or that pesky vista? It’ll show you the exact distance and how you should walk there. What about some help on the Trading Post? It comes built in with a calculator and utility that lets you watch the prices of items to tell you when to buy or sell. It even includes a world event timer. This is one handy utility knife that addresses any need you might have. There is an added browser option that you can choose to install but it can be risky to use something like that from a third party source.

Battle Support

This is a must have for any WvW commander. This puts an overlay on the screen that adjusts with your camera to let you see the status of nearby camps and forts. It is one impressive overlay that shows you times of when you can capture, who has captured it and even which guild is controlling it. Just simply look in the direction of any nearby point and you will have information to make your job easier.

World Boss Timer for Rainmeter

This particular overlay works out of Rainmeter and provides a host of information on when the next World Event is going to take place. This overlay is particularly good as it allows for better options of transparency compared to the Personal Assistant Overlay and it has a simple one-click interface for copying Waypoint coordinates and times.

World Versus World Maps for Rainmeter

Another great overlay for Rainmeter that is all about WvW. Where the Personal Assistant Overlay will provide you updated notes and a neat UI box of information this utility allows you to choose what information you want regardless of what map you are in. You can have a second monitor dedicated to seeing that status of the maps or you can set an overlay over your game that shows you details on your specific map. Once again it provides simple one-click copying to provide information to your map.
