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.

Visual elements

Threat‑based health bar colors (green, yellow, red)
Threat indicator showing accurate threat values or percentages
Threat leader identification (class, name, role)
Priority marker highlighting the highest‑priority enemy
Target counter showing how many group members are targeting each enemy

Features

Multiple threat display modes, including your position relative to the current threat leader
Automatic or LFG assigned role detection
Multi‑tank and off‑tank support
Threat information fallback
When threat information is unavailable, the highest total damage done by any player is shown in white
Threat safety buffer
Healers and DPS priority marker appears only when a minimum threat gap below the threat leader is met

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!
