BossArmor Live

BossArmor Live shows a single estimated effective armor number above your current hostile target's nameplate in WoW TBC Anniversary. It turns green at zero. No panel and no WeakAuras dependency.

Features
• 69 known boss and encounter NPC IDs with documented historical armor estimates.
• Pre-pull planning: Improved Expose Armor when a rogue is present, otherwise five Sunder stacks; Faerie Fire by default and Curse of Recklessness when a warlock is present.
• Automatic personal armor penetration and mainhand Executioner detection.
• Live calculation uses actual target debuffs and current personal ArP. Executioner is counted only once.
• Configurable font, position, colors, visibility and manual overrides.
• Test mode for low/high armor, ArP, IEA/Sunder, FF, CoR and Executioner.

Version 1.0.2
This first CurseForge test build uses the unique BossArmorLive folder and separate settings. If you previously installed our local BossArmor ZIP, disable that older addon to avoid duplicate numbers. Old settings are not automatically migrated. This project is independent of the existing BossArmor project by another author.
In test mode, a selected target without a visible nameplate hides the number. A centered preview remains available only when no target is selected.

Test status and limitations
Targets TBC Anniversary 2.5.6 (Interface 20506, with 20505 compatibility). All 204 automated Lua 5.1 checks pass. The visual test mode has been tried in game; full live raid validation is still pending.
Boss armor is estimated from historical data, not read directly from the current server. Special encounter mechanics may alter the actual value. Live Expose Armor tooltip parsing supports English and German; unreadable values show a question mark rather than a guessed zero.
CurseForge distributes the addon files; WoW settings remain local to each computer.

The ZIP includes a detailed German README, source references and a test report. Existing WeakAuras are not modified. Historical data references: WoWSims TBC (https://github.com/wowsims/tbc) and CMaNGOS TBC-DB (https://github.com/cmangos/tbc-db). Per-NPC provenance is documented in SOURCES.md.
