ThreatClassic2
ThreatClassic2 is a threat meter for WoW Classic that provides reasonably accurate estimates of a monster's threat table based on LibThreatClassic2. It is compatible with all other AddOns providing threat data through LibThreatClassic2 and created as the successor of the abandoned ClassicThreatMeter.
FAQs
Q: Why use ThreatClassic2 instead of ClassicThreatMeter?
The author of ClassicThreatMeter left the addon with a lot of bugs, like spamming "You are not in a raid" in Alterac Valley and 25% bonus aggro for Warrior Defiance talent instead of 15%. ThreatClassic2 bundles LibThreatClassic2, which comes with a ton of bug fixes and provides new boss modules for handling Onyxia and Ragnaros threat mechanics.
Q: Why am I not seeing other players in ThreatClassic2?
A: Other players must have ThreatClassic2 or a compatible AddOn with LibThreatClassic2 enabled in order to track their threat similar to how KLH Threat Meter/Omen required compatible AddOns communicating threat to one another in Vanilla/TBC.
Q: Why isn't ThreatClassic2 using the built-in threat API?
A: It's unfortunately not possible. Bizzard added the threat API in patch 3.0.2 for WotLK and has been in the game since, but it has been purposely removed for WoW Classic, which means we must rely on combat log parsing.
Q: How does ThreatClassic2 handle multiple targets?
A: The combat log in WoW Classic is fortunately much more detailed than that which was available in the game originally before patch 2.4. This allows us to track NPCs by GUID (global unique identifier), and there should be no issues with mobs having the same name and threat becoming muddled between them. It is also designed in such a way that effects that are meant to add divided threat between active targets, such as heals and buffs, are able to do so.
Q: Why are there so few options to customize the threat window?
A: ThreatClassic2 is based on ClassicThreatMerer. More features and customization options will come over time. So far I added an always hide option, so players can install the addon to share their Threat data in the background.

Hey,
I likes classicthreat addon, nice and simple, this one looks great as well, however, it seems i cannot customize it... Meaning when I type /tc2 or right click the window and try to click on customize options, nothing happens :( I do not know what is the problem, tried to uninstall, remove all other addons, even reloaded some folders (interface, WTF, cache). Please help.
Would kill for configurable sound cue from when your threat is close to the player on top.
Can you please add an option to make your own bar RED so you can easily differentiate yourself from other players of the same class ? we have a lot of warriors and its hard to tell which one is me without reading names. Being able to colorize myself a different color would make it much easier to see where im at in the threat stack
for some reason on my priest it only shows me no one else on the threat meter
In reply to StaticEddy:
most likely (even not so likely anymore with dbm bundling it) reason, is that no one else has LibThreatClassic2 installed. You can run a version check in the options. What does that display?
In reply to dfherr:
just shows all clients
In reply to StaticEddy:
can you be more precise please? You have to run the version check while in group and it should display LibThreatClassic2 as output for other players. Also make sure you are definitely running ThreatClassic2 /(tc2) and NOT ClassicThreatMeter (/ctm). They look identical.
In reply to dfherr:
All have ThreatClassic2 installed. Holy priest is not included in the list. It appears in the list only when it deals damage and does not heal
Can you add the ability to customize the how it looks? Like change the actual font and color to something other than white, and not just outline of the font.
Can you provide threat per second calculation please? Could be very useful.
In reply to devchonkaa:
You mean similar to dps in damage meters? Your current threat divided by the combat length?
I'm not sure if this is really better than the percentage. What you should care about is when you will pull aggro. That's currently happening at 100%. Your TPS isn't such a good indicator for future aggro, e.g. it massively goes up in execute range.
But yes, I could add this as an option. I currently still spend my available time on improving the threat calculation itself tho.
I would like to be able to set a color for my character in the list
P.S. Priest (heal) is not displayed in the my list(when only heals).
is there a way to make the bars backdrop transparent?
In reply to Karnatz:
Yes! Please let us change backdrop alpha
In reply to yshdmt:
I'll see what I can do. Could take a while though, pretty long backlog already.
Thank you so much for taking the time to fix the bugs with the other threat meter! I hope you have a great day!
