RangeSlayer

RangeSlayer is a lightweight, performance-focused World of Warcraft addon that gives you instant, visual range awareness directly on enemy nameplates. RangeSlayer lets you instantly see if your target is in range for your abilities.

Features

Smart Range Detection

Green Arrow – Target is in range for all abilities (pulses rapidly from light to dark green for maximum visibility).
Yellow Arrow – Target is in range for some abilities.
Orange Arrow – Target is only in range for utility / gap closers, but not main attacks.
Red Arrow – Target is out of range.

Arrow Placement

Displays as a sleek directional arrow to the right of enemy nameplates.
Placement: Inside or Outside the nameplate (configurable in UI).

Automatic Class Logic

Default mode uses your class’s real combat abilities for range checks.

Supports all classes in both MoP Classic and Retail.

Special Rules

Works on enemies and training dummies.

Ignores friendly players/NPCs.

UI & Customization
Integrated UI styled to match the Slayer suite, vibrant colors, compact layout, smooth toggles.

Open via:
/rs ui
Left-click minimap icon.

Core options:
Mode: Auto Class, Melee, Ranged.
Placement: Inside or Outside nameplates.
Offset adjustment (for outside placement).
Enable/Disable toggle (disabling instantly removes all arrows).

Other Addons in the Slayer Suite

Why Use All Three?
The Slayer Suite is built to work seamlessly together:

Together, they give you battlefield clarity in PvP, all while staying lightweight and MoP/Retail compatible.
