ThreatClassic2
ThreatClassic2 is a threat meter for WoW Classic using the built in Blizzard API.
FAQs
Q: Why use ThreatClassic2 instead of ClassicThreatMeter?
ClassicThreatMeter is outdated and should no longer be used.
Q: Why am I not seeing other players in the beginning of combat?
You can not see a monsters threat data before you are on the monsters threat table (i.e. did damage or healed someone). This is a restriction of the Blizzard API and cannot be changed.
Q: Is this addon under active development and will get more features?
Yes! I do accept feature requests here and will add new features to the addon. Feel free to open an issue or +1 an existing feature request, so I can see the most sought after features!

Any chance you'll release a version of this for retail? I have tried and can't find a threat meter that works as well as this one and I've tried alot so far. I play both Classic and Retail. Most raid/guild managers don't allow you in without this in Classic. As a hunter it's a priority for me in game. Now I just need it for retail. Thank you!
In reply to Seattle989:
This is heavily inspired by omen, which is exclusivly retail https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/omen-threat-meter
did you try that out?
hi all,
can i use this addon together with another threat addon - tiny threat? if all others are using tiny threat, will this one work at all?
In reply to viletusk:
yes. it is not required that everyone uses the same addon.
Anyone else not seeing the ability to check who has what version anymore?
In reply to WatchYourSixx:
That functionality was removed when the Blizzard API was introduced as it's not longer necessary that other players have the most up-to-date version. I understand that it's a drawback from a raidlead control perspective, but the functionality was part of the library that is no longer used.
Nevermind~
Figured it out~
Does this addon also show different color on the nameplates as the old version did? Depending on threat
In reply to denkocs:
No. that functionality was removed due to problems with the new api.
Please install a dedicated nameplate addon with that functionality like Plater, TidyPlates or ThreatPlates Classic. Some of them have classic skins so they look exactly like the Blizzard nameplates.
In reply to dfherr:
Do u know which one has the exact copy of classic nameplates? I cant stand playing with a nameplate addon <.< but i really loved the feature of nameplate threat color thingy on the old classicthreatmeter.
Latest API changes made the refresh rare a nightmare. Hopefully they will fix this and make it more frequent or retail-like. It's so bad now god dammit Blizzard...
bug
hunter pets are not recognized till hunter shoots or casts intimidation.
before the update the pet always showed aggro
now i have to do the above.
In reply to Dmk218:
It's not a bug. it's a Blizzard "feature"

I'm sorry. nothing I can do about this. it's not my fault and no other addon using the threat api (which is now mandatory) can fix this, as far as I'm aware.
In reply to dfherr:
ok thank you :)
its a great addon too btw. Even thought blizzards api :P
I cheched 2.21v update!
thanks!
Seems really inaccurate with the latest update. I was expecting the changes to the API to make it better but its actually worse right now.
In reply to sahdjay:
it should be exactly accurate. It's just that your own numbers are delayed and on the exact same timestamp as everyone elses, while your own numbers were absolutely instant before and only everyone else was delayed.
There is nothing I can do about it. The API updates about once per second.
In reply to dfherr:
No it is wildly inaccurate, sometime I cannot see myself, sometimes the current tank is shown low in the list, sometimes others are disappearing, at some point I could see the first two, then like 5 empty lines and then some other member
Maybe in the end the ThreatLib should survive to smooth out the wonky updates on the API
In reply to capitano666:
i'll be raiding tomorrow. first chance to try it out in a larger group. I haven't had any of those issues on the PTR and small group testing today.
the only thing that I saw and that is annoying is that you cannot see anyone until you are on the threatlist yourself (i.e. did damage or some kind of aoe threat like healing or buffing). nothing I can do about it.
