NKThreat – Threat Meter & Threat Analysis

What's New in NKThreat (since 2.7.0)

2.9.0 — Performance

Comprehensive hot-path optimization pass to keep the addon lightweight in large raids.

• Melee range spell data cached at login instead of rebuilding every tick
• Aggro modifier computed once per tick, shared across bar rendering and personal bar
• Player entries flagged during threat collection. Eliminates repeated API calls across display, nameplates, and personal bar
• Target GUID, player name, icon texture strings, and MAINTANK assignments all cached to avoid redundant per-bar lookups
• Nameplate overlay style (font, position, backdrop) only recalculated on config changes, not every frame
• Nameplate threat difference and rank merged into a single group iteration pass
• Combat log events parsed once and shared between fight log and taunt alert systems
• COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED only registered when fight recording or taunt alerts are actually enabled
• Taunt alert group membership check upgraded from O(n) linear scan to shared O(1) GUID cache

2.8.0 — Threat Graph

Post-fight analysis window for reviewing threat timelines after an encounter.

Graph Features

• Line graph per player per enemy, colored by class, with hover tooltips showing name, threat value, and TPS
• Vertical crosshair and line highlighting on hover
• Fight selector dropdown for the last 5 encounters with name, duration, and pull time
• Enemy panel with boss frames, named mobs, and adds above 32k HP
• Player panel with class-colored checkboxes, role icons, grouped by tank/healer/DPS
• Resizable from all 8 edges and corners; position and size saved across sessions
• Modern dark theme

Event Timeline

• Timeline strip with icons for taunts, aggro switches, player deaths, combat rez, soulstone rez, Vanish, Feign Death, and Misdirection
• Tooltips with player names, event type, and killing blow details for deaths
• Filtered by player selection. Only events involving selected players are shown

Recording

• Threat data recorded at 1-second intervals for all relevant enemies independently (bosses, named mobs, adds), not just the current target
• Stored in memory only (last 5 fights, not saved to disk)
• Disabled by default to save resources; enable via General settings or the one-click button in the graph overlay

Localization

• All graph and event strings localized in English, German, French, and Spanish
