Blizz Threat Plates
- By
The tank priority marker tells the player exactly which enemy he should focus on based on his threat lead or deficit. Very useful with a large number of enemies! The number in the small circle is the number of group members targeting each enemy.
The current threat leader on each enemy is shown (class/pet, name, role) under the threat indicator. Here the tank is 20 and 154 threat points behind the healer and Ravager pet. The health bar is red meaning he doesn't have aggro.
When playing a damage dealer, the priority marker indicates the lowest health enemy which is safe to attack. If the player's threat gets too close to the leader or surpass it, it will switch to the 2nd lowest health enemy which is safe to attack and so on.
An modern-looking option page is available to customize the addon to your liking (top part).

When threat data is not available because the player has not yet generated any threat on a mob, the highest total damage done by any player will be shown in white as a guide to know which enemy might have the highest threat built on.
Description
Blizz Threat Plates enhances the default World of Warcraft nameplates by adding real‑time threat information. It helps tanks maintain aggro on all enemies and assists DPS and healers in managing their threat to avoid pulling aggro. It also improves situational awareness by showing which players are leading threat on each mob.

Learn your exact threat values
This addon removes the guesswork from threat generation. Use it solo to test your attacks or spells and see their exact threat values. Wondering whether Thunder Clap generates more threat than Demoralizing Shout? Blizz Threat Plates has the answer. Hunters can also use it to know when they're about to pull aggro from their pet.
Why use it?
Threat is a core combat mechanic in World of Warcraft, yet the game provides almost no visibility into it. Blizz Threat Plates fills that gap with clear, intuitive information. If you’ve ever wanted to try tanking but felt intimidated, this addon makes the role far more accessible. If you’re an experienced tank, it gives you the tools to push your performance even further. As a healer, you’ll better understand when your healing might pull aggro or when it’s safe to cast freely. DPS players will know when to start attacking, when to switch targets, and when to use threat‑reducing abilities.
I hope this addon makes your journey in World of Warcraft more enjoyable.
Have fun!
