Forever: Threat (Plates & Bar)

# Forever Threat 

**Forever Threat** is a lightweight threat meter built for **WoW Forever**. No big window, no tables: just one bar the size of your mana bar that tells you exactly what you need to know, plus threat-colored borders on every mob you're fighting.

## The Threat Bar

The bar sits right below your mana bar, matches its size and only shows up when there is threat to track. It adapts to your role:

### Tank
- **Left:** your current threat
- **Right:** your lead over the next player, e.g. `+1.2k Rogue`
- **Fill:** how much of a safety buffer you still have

| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟩 Green | You have secure aggro |
| 🟨 Yellow | Someone is closing in on you |
| 🟥 Red | You've been overtaken |
| 🟪 Purple | You've been overtaken by another tank (e.g. a planned taunt swap) |

### DPS & Healer
- **Left:** your threat in % toward pulling aggro
- **Right:** your gap to the tank, e.g. `-650 Tank`
- **Fill:** how close you are to pulling

| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟩 Green | Safe |
| 🟨 Yellow | Getting close, slow down |
| 🟥 Red | You have aggro |

Pull thresholds are built in: you pull at **110 %** in melee range and **130 %** at range, and the percentage already accounts for that.

## Nameplate Borders

Adjustable border thickness (`/ft border 0-6`, default 2).

Every mob you're in combat with gets a border in the same threat colors. On an AoE pull you can see at a glance which mobs are safe, which are slipping and which have already gone to someone else. No need to tab through targets.

## Smart Role Detection

Your role is detected automatically from:
- your assigned group role
- main tank assignment in raids
- Defensive Stance, Bear Form / Dire Bear Form or Righteous Fury

You can always override it manually with `/ft role`.

Healers who target a friendly player automatically track **the mob that player is targeting**, so you can keep your raid frames and still watch your threat.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `/ft` | Show all commands |
| `/ft test [tank\|dps]` | Toggle test mode (previews all colors on the bar and nameplates) |
| `/ft unlock` / `/ft lock` | Move / lock the bar |
| `/ft reset` | Put the bar back under the mana bar |
| `/ft role auto\|tank\|dps` | Set your role (default: auto) |
| `/ft warn 80` | Threshold in % at which the bar turns yellow |
| `/ft plates` | Toggle nameplate borders |
| `/ft solo` | Toggle showing the bar while solo |

`/foreverthreat` works as well.

## Good to Know

- Built for the **WoW Forever** client and uses only Blizzard's own threat API. No combat log parsing, and nothing runs when there's nothing to show.
- Settings are saved per character.
- Blizzard may restrict addon access to nameplates in some instances. The threat bar keeps working there.
- WoW Forever is still in beta, so the API may change before release. If something breaks, please leave a comment with your error message and I'll fix it quickly.
