TankNameplates

Smart nameplates for tanks, DPS, healers & PvP — threat colors, raid markers, compact debuffs. MoP Classic + Retail.

Tank Nameplates

Clean, information-rich custom nameplates for every role, spec and class in World of Warcraft. Built with tanks in mind, but designed to help anyone: DPS, healers, PvP players, questers and collectors alike. Fully compatible with Mists of Pandaria Classic and Retail.
 
Features
  • Unified Health & Mana bar inside a single, compact container
  • Player debuffs on the left of the health bar, with compact timers (1H / 30M / 45s) and a radial cooldown swipe
  • Cast bar with correct fill/drain direction (like Blizzard's default) plus remaining time
  • Smart coloring that reads the fight for you:
    • Lilac = the unit is on YOU (secure aggro for tanks, "it's attacking me" for everyone else)
    • Red = in combat but not on you (perfect for taunts, interrupts, rescues and pick-ups)
    • Orange = hostile but not in combat yet
    • White = tapped by another player or group (no loot for you, don't waste your cooldowns)
  • Raid target markers displayed above the nameplate, never hidden by the bar
  • Respects the game world: calm, neutral, friendly and non-PvP-flagged units keep the default Blizzard nameplate (Questie icons included)
  • Minimap button with drag-to-move and hide option
  • Auto-disables when Plater, ElvUI, KuiNameplates or TidyPlates are active to prevent conflicts
  • All settings accessible via the minimap icon or the Interface Options panel
Useful for every spec
  • Tanks: instant aggro read (lilac vs red) and tap awareness while pulling
  • DPS: know when a mob is tapped (white) so you don't burn cooldowns for nothing, and track your own debuffs on the target
  • Healers: see at a glance who is in combat (red) and who is being attacked (lilac)
  • PvP: enemy players only get custom plates while PvP-flagged; markers and debuffs still tracked
Configuration
  • Left-click the minimap icon to open Settings
  • Right-click the minimap icon for quick options (Hide Icon, etc.)
  • Drag the minimap icon to reposition it around the map
Supported Versions
  • Mists of Pandaria Classic (5.5.4 / 505040)
  • Retail (Latest Patch)
