I've been playing Guild Wars 2 a lot recently and I thought it might be a good idea to post about some handy 'Add-ons' that make the gaming experience a lot better. Going forward, I just want to say that these programs won't get you banned for the most part. I say 'for the most part' because things happen and you never really know for sure, but people have been using these programs for a while and have not been banned thus far.

How to Use These Programs
Most of the programs I am going to feature here require you to set your in-game resolution to 'Windowed Fullscreen'. This allows these programs to sit on top of your game, thus they do not in any way interact with the game client, making them safe to use.
Combat Mode
Combat mode is one of the coolest overlays for Guild Wars 2 that is available right now. Essentially it runs in the background and when you activate it with a programmable hot-key, the program centers your cursor on your screen, holds down the right click button, and changes your mouse actions (such as left click, right click, scroll up, scroll down) to different buttons (ex. 1, 2, 3, F1, v). This allows you to forget about holding down right click while fighting, freeing up your fingers to activate skills instead. It also creates kind of a cool cross-hair in the middle of your screen so you know where you're looking.
Overwolf
Overwolf is an overlay that is not specific to Guild Wars, but it comes with a whole mess of apps that make gaming so much better. It sits on the side of your screen and expands when you mouse over it. It is essentially an app hub with transparent windows that are constantly on top of your gaming window. It comes with a chat program, teamspeak support, a web browser, and a number of other applications–not to mention the ones you can download. It is very unobtrusive and definitely helps when you're trying to run fractals and keep up a skype conversation at the same time.
GW2 Boss Event Overlay
I've tried a lot of overlays for boss events and temple timers, and this is by far the best. Put together by Reddit's Dauni, this timer is very unobtrusive, minimalistic, and informative. This timer–like the many others available on the internet–provides information as to when meta-events start, specifically the ones that provide players with a daily chest. You can position it anywhere on your screen and check events off as you complete them. It even provides detailed information on certain bosses and events, such as how much longer until the Fire Elemental spawns, or which pre-event the Maw is on. You can even choose which events to display if you only want to focus on a few meta events. It is still a little buggy, but count me down as a big fan and an avid user.
WvW Overlay
At 26t natural voice sapi 5 english voices free. AT&T Natural Voices™ Text to Speech (TTS) for Windows is award winning text to speech technology developed by AT&T Laboratories. Available in US English or Spanish, the AT&T Natural Voices™ support speed but not pitch adjustment. These voices are Sapi4 and Sapi5 compatible.
Also made by Dauni, this overlay provides information as to events in WvW and which caps are currently being captured and by whom. It works a lot like the boss overlay above.
Dungeon Checker
Although this is not an overlay, it deserves to be mentioned here somewhere. Ever been in a dungeon group (specifically CoF) and have had trouble finding an uncontested server? Well fret no more. Check out this website here to find open servers.
