Hunter Dead Zone

Hunter Dead Zone

This is specifically for Classic and Classic Forever.

If you play a hunter you know the dead zone: the mob gets too close for Auto Shot but you're not in melee range yet, so you're just standing there doing nothing.

This addon puts a red DEAD ZONE label on your target's nameplate while it's in that gap, and plays a warning sound when it gets there. When the mob is in range or in melee, the label goes away, so it's only on screen when you need it.

Setup

Turn on enemy nameplates (V), then target something and type /hdz test to see what the label looks like.

Good to know

WoW Forever doesn't let addons check exact distance, so the addon uses your Auto Shot range and your melee swings to figure it out. When a mob first runs up to you, the label stays red until your first melee swing lands. Turn on auto attack when it gets close and the label clears as soon as you connect.

Commands

• /hdz test - shows the label on your target for a few seconds
• /hdz sound - turns the warning sound on or off
• /hdz size 8-32 - changes the text size
• /hdz debug - prints info to chat if something isn't working right

If you run into a problem, type /hdz debug while targeting the mob and paste what it says in the comments.
