🔍 About the Addon
Hated Tooltip adds the PvP intel you'd otherwise alt-tab out for armory checks straight onto the tooltip you already get from mousing over or targeting a player: their item level (color-coded against your own gear), whether they're a healer, and every rated PvP bracket they've actually played. No panel to open, no window to manage — just hover.
It reads the exact same inspect data Blizzard's own Inspect window uses, the moment you mouseover or target someone, and remembers it for five minutes so it isn't re-requesting on every pass.
Perfect for:
- PvPers sizing up a target in a battleground, arena, or the open world before committing
- Anyone who wants to know "is this a healer" without opening the scoreboard
- Players who check an enemy's rating before deciding whether the fight is worth it
🎯 Key Features Dashboard
| ⚖️ Color-Coded Item Level | ✚ Healer Tag | 🏆 Every PvP Rating Bracket |
|---|---|---|
| • Average item level and PvP item level, both on the tooltip • Green if they're under-geared vs. you, red if they're not, gold if it's close • Compares against your own equipped PvP item level, refreshed automatically when your gear changes |
• Flags healers from your own inspect the moment their spec role resolves • Falls back to Hated Kill Targets' shared known-healer memory if that's also installed • Can show up even before your own inspect finishes |
• Rated BG, Solo Shuffle, Blitz, 2v2 and 3v3, each on its own line • Only brackets they've actually played show up, no clutter from zeroes • Pulled from the same honor data the default Inspect panel reads |
| ⚡ Built to Run Mid-Fight | 🗄️ Cached, Not Spammed |
|---|---|
| • Event-driven, not a background poll, so there's no per-frame cost • Doesn't disable itself in combat like a lot of inspect addons do — checking a target mid-fight is the whole point |
• Resolved data is remembered per player for 5 minutes • Re-hovering the same target doesn't fire off another inspect request |
🎛️ Slash Commands
| Command | Functionality |
|---|---|
/htt | Toggles the addon on or off. |
/htt reset | Clears all cached player data. |
📊 Pro-Tips
🔍 Give it a second
Item level and rating need a moment to resolve after your first mouseover or target on someone — Blizzard has to complete an inspect request first, the same delay the default Inspect panel has. The Healer tag and ratings stay blank until that resolves.
🤝 Pairs with Hated Kill Targets
Install Hated Kill Targets alongside it and the Healer tag gets smarter: any healer HKT has already identified — even from a past match, even before this addon's own inspect finishes — shows up here too.
🗺️ Roadmap
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| 🧩 More tooltip intel | Planned. Renamed from PvP-Ilvl-Tooltip to Hated Tooltip specifically to leave room for this — more PvP intel is planned for the tooltip over time. |
