Hardcore Focus
In Hardcore, a single unexpected enemy can end a character permanently.
MobScope was designed to improve awareness while:
- Traveling through dangerous zones.
- Fighting near tightly packed groups.
- Moving through caves and buildings.
- Completing escort quests.
- Recovering after combat.
- Avoiding accidental multi-pulls.
- Playing with limited camera visibility.
Commands
`/ms` — Opens or closes the MobScope settings window.
Important Limitations
MobScope only uses information made available by the World of Warcraft API.
The addon cannot detect enemies that the game has not exposed through nameplates, targeting or related unit information. Distance values may be approximate or unavailable in some situations.
MobScope is an awareness tool. It does not replace careful movement, camera control or knowledge of enemy patrols.
