Description
⚔️ NetherMeters - the damage meter that looks as good as you play
NetherMeters is the Nether family's damage meter for WoW: Forever. It reads the game's own combat data, so the numbers are exactly the game's, and wraps them in bars that move, glow and shine in 25 hand-made designs. It replaces the game's built-in meter the moment you log in.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 EVERY METER THE GAME KEEPS
- Damage Done, DPS, Damage Taken, Avoidable Damage Taken and Enemy Damage Taken
- Healing Done, HPS and Absorbs
- Interrupts, Dispels and Deaths
- The current fight, the whole session, or any earlier fight, picked from the button at the top of each window
- Up to five windows, each with its own meter and fight: damage in one, healing in another, deaths in a third
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ 25 ANIMATED BAR DESIGNS
Five families of looks - Professional, Sleek, Modern, Fantasy and Eye-catching - each design with its own font and its own living animation flowing through the bar. Pick one from a visual gallery, set the animation speed, or switch the motion off for a calm, still meter.
Running NetherBars? The bars can wear your NetherBars nameplate theme and move exactly as your nameplates do, so your whole interface speaks one visual language.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 15 COLOUR SCHEMES, YOUR WAY
Class colours, the Nether theme, Ember, Frost, Verdant, Royal, Ocean, Sunset, Neon, Pastel, Heat, Spectrum, Steel and more - chosen separately from the bar design, so any design takes any colours.
- "My bar only": your own bar in gold or your class colour, everyone else in grey. You always find yourself at a glance.
- Every window can have its own colours: a fiery damage window beside a frosty healing window.
- Names and numbers always readable: white with a firm drop shadow on every bar, dark lettering only on the very lightest.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 THREAT THAT WARNS YOU IN TIME
- A thin threat bar under your own row: white when safe, then yellow, orange and red as you climb toward the top of the list
- It breathes, pulses and glides - it is never still, so you notice it without staring at it
- A warning sound every few seconds in orange and red, or for tanks the moment they lose aggro. Eight sounds made for NetherMeters, Heartbeat to start with, or any of the game's own sounds
- Threat Plates (with NetherBars): your threat on every enemy nameplate, two halves gliding in from the sides, fading toward the middle and turning solid the moment they meet
- Works in combat even while the game keeps the exact numbers hidden from addons
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🪟 WINDOWS THAT BEHAVE
- Drag a window anywhere and resize it from its corner in one smooth movement: no jumps, no snapping back
- Windows snap to each other's edges, so stacked or side-by-side meters line up perfectly
- Hold Shift while resizing to keep the shape, double-click the corner for the default size, and see the exact size by your cursor as you drag
- Every window has its own padlock, or lock them all at once
- Bars can fit the window: they grow and shrink with it instead of adding rows
- The frame art scales with the window, from a slim corner meter to a big raid window
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 DIG INTO EVERY FIGHT
- Hover a row for its top spells, or the last hits taken on the Deaths meter
- Click a row for a full breakdown of every spell in the fight
- Rank numbers, class and spec icons, a total row and a footer with the fight's length and the group's total
- Your own row always stays in view, even in a big raid
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📣 SHARE YOUR NUMBERS
The bullhorn sends a window's results to Say, Yell, Party, Raid, Battleground, Guild or Officer in one click.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ MADE TO FIT YOU
- Show it only in combat, hide it when solo, fade it out of combat, or let clicks pass through
- Number formats, percentages, fonts, text sizes and window scale
- Profiles, plus export and import to carry your setup to another character or a friend
- Every setting has a clear explanation, and all of them can be searched from NetherSuite
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
