TargetSlayer

TargetSlayer is a lightweight PvX targeting assistant for WoW Retail and Classic: Mists of Pandaria that visually marks the mob/enemy your team is focusing, or should be. Works perfectly with my other addon, HealerSlayer.

TargetSlayer is a lightweight PvX targeting assistant for WoW Retail and Classic that visually marks the mob/enemy your team is focusing, or should be. I personally use this with Platynator in retail and Plater in Classic, but it'll work with plater, elvui, and the normal blizz plates. Plates are varied greatly between addons so I did the best I could to make it visible while not being super intrusive for each. 

I highly recommend using Platynaor with this.

With Midnight, we can no longer modify nameplates in battlegrounds and arenas, so this will still work in PvE and Warmode/Open World PvP, but in instance settings (raid/battleground/mythic) it won't work. It'll still do everything in all forms of classic.
Hopefully blizzard lifts some of these restrictions, but for now we have to make due.

Features:

Group Mode (default):
Highlights the enemy with the most group/raid members targeting it.
• Starts at 2+ people targeting the same enemy
• Highlight grows brighter, thicker and starts flashing, scaling up to 5+ players
• Automatically updates as targeting shifts

Solo Mode:
Don’t need no team? In Solo mode, your own target gets highlighted — great for small skirmishes or world PvP.

Focus Mode:
Prefer coordination? Just set a focus target on an ally and TargetSlayer will highlight their target instead.

Assist Mode:
This works very much like Focus Mode, except allows you to follow your assist target and leaves your Focus target free for marking enemy healers, or whoever. Click on Assist and a drop down will appear with all of your teammates. Simply select which one you want and youll always see their target.

Misc Options:
Easy Kill mode (broken atm in midnight) will highlight any target in the raid or battlefield that is 30% or lower HP. It will give them a bright red outline so you can make realtime decisions on priority. 

Target Assist Names:
If you want to see who is on your target, simply mouse over the number and you'll get a list of all of the players targeting the highlighted target.

Please checkout my companion addons, HealerSlayer and RangeSlayer. They all work together for a full PvX experience.
