KillOrder

KillOrder — Smart Kill Priority for WoW Classic

Color-coded (Role) nameplates, auto classifying mobs into Roles to reveal the KillOrder. Prioritize Healers, Casters, Ranged, dim the rest, fully customizable.

Works across Classic Era, TBC Anniversary, Wrath, Cata, and MoP Classic through retail-shared UI.

  CORE FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

13 ROLE TYPES — each with its own configurable color

  Boss · World Boss · Elite Healer · Healer
  Elite Caster · Caster · Elite Ranged · Ranged
  Elite Melee · Melee · Elite Tank · Tank · Unknown

  Elites automatically promote to their sub-role the moment
  they appear — no teaching required. Real dungeon/raid bosses
  are detected live and always sort to the top, separate from
  rare open-world World Bosses.

ROLE BAR — colored bar beneath every mob's health bar
  Shows role name and kill priority number.
  Elites and Bosses get their own distinct ring highlight.
  Everything else can dim to invisible so you focus on what
  matters — your current target always stays at full brightness.

AUTO ROLE DETECTION — works out of the box
  Layer 1 — Static database: 200+ hand-curated dungeon NPCs
             built in
  Layer 2 — Mana bar check: mana = caster bucket,
             no mana = melee bucket. Instant, no cast needed.
  Layer 3 — Cast observation: sees a heal → Healer (high
             confidence), including instant casts with no
             visible cast bar. Sees a damage spell → Caster.
             Sees a shot → Ranged. Saved permanently.
  Layer 4 — Creature type and name keyword fallback.

  250+ named abilities are classified across healer, caster,
  ranged, melee, and tank spell tables. The addon learns a mob
  once and never asks again — reset anytime from Options.

TARGET ROLE BAR — floating popup for your current target
  Shows role name, mob name, and kill priority on screen the
  moment you target a hostile. Banner-style colored ends
  matched to the mob's role. Fully draggable, position saved.

PRIORITY WINDOW — 13 draggable rows
  Drag to reorder your kill priority. Double-click to recolor,
  right-click to rename. Live update — nameplates reflect
  changes instantly.
  Dim divider separates bright roles from fully-hidden ones.
  Six illustrated background themes to choose from.

GROUP SYNC
  /ko mt    — broadcasts your target to the group;
              highlighted on all members' nameplates
  /ko sync  — pushes your full priority order to the group
