Description

RearGuard - Watch Your Back!

RearGuard is a dedicated radar addon designed for Classic Era & Hardcore. It helps you monitor enemies behind you and alerts you to potential dangers.

🛡️ Built for Classic Era Restrictions

Classic Era has strict nameplate limitations (max 20 yards). RearGuard makes the absolute best out of these restrictions.

It doesn't just show you a list of names – it intelligently analyzes every visible unit to track:

  • Real-time Threat: Who has aggro? (You, Pet, or Tank?)
  • Spell Casting: What exactly is being cast?
  • Smart Range: Is the enemy within melee range, spell range, or further away?

This gives you maximum situational awareness despite the game's limits.

⚔️ Key Features

  • Visual Radar: Displays all active nameplates in a clean list. Visualizes range tiers (<10m vs ~20m) using intelligent range checking.
  • Aggro Alert: Turns RED and flashes when you have threat. Instantly know if a mob peels off the tank!
  • Cast Monitor: Shows exactly WHAT is being cast (with Spell Icon) so you can interrupt effectively.
  • Tank Mode: See which party member is tanking the mob (e.g., [Tank] or [Healer]).
  • Pet Monitor: Tracks aggro on your pet separately (Yellow indicator).
  • Sound Alerts: Customizable sounds (Raid Warning, Ancient Protector, Ghoul, etc.) for aggro events.

🎮 Test Mode

  • Use the new "Test Radar" button in options to preview all visual settings, aggro states, and cast bars without being in combat!

⚙️ Customization

  • Appearance: Adjust scale, fonts, transparency, and style.
  • Sound: Choose from verified, reliable sound sets.
  • Localization: Fully localized for English & German clients.
