ThreatClassic2
ThreatClassic2 is a threat meter for WoW Classic & TBC 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ClassicThreatMeter is outdated and should no longer be used.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!

Does this addon make the nameplates of enemies turn color? If not, did it used to?
In reply to ChrisAndelin:
I just found part of my answer in the history. So I've looked at those addons and none of them look like the Classic art style. Any specific pointers about how to achieve that?
New to the threat meter, trying to set up the warnings. could someone explain how the functionality of the 'minimum threat to trigger warning' slider works?
Is that the amount of threat required that would push me over the threshold of the above slide? I could likely be understanding it wrong. Appreciate any advice on typical settings for a dps in raid, trying to skirt the edge of not pulling aggro ofc.
In reply to orclandoboom:
that's a minimum amount to trigger a warning. The reason is that you might not wanna get warnings directly at the start of the fight, because threat values rise rapidly and the warning might be completly wrong.
In reply to dfherr:
Thanks for the reply! was starting to think it may relate to that. Im using it on a hunter and the start of a fight is essentially where we spike threat extremely fast due to the nature of our dmg (spikes in 'waves' )
So i guess ill try play around with what would be ideal.
would it be possible to have the relative threat alert still be functional during sapphiron air phase? since sapphiron doesnt technically have a target/isnt being tanked while in the air, i think your addon cannot process what the relative threat is. perhaps registering the last target before air phase as "the tank" would work?
In reply to jym_:
i can only work with what the Blizzard API provides me. if that's garbage then that's it.
In reply to dfherr:
Well the threat values are still there, and accurate, but since the boss no longer has a tank in that particular instance, a relative value isn’t “recognized” by the addon, so therefore there is no relative percentage, and the audio alert never triggers. It would be a sapphiron specific modification I think.
In reply to jym_:
the percentage also comes from the Blizzard API. I also watched some sapphiron fights from my vod and don't really see what your problem is. The threat is still displayed and the tank is still displayed as 100%? If the tank is not displayed as 100% it's because Blizzard is giving me wrong values. I do not calculate these myself.
In reply to dfherr:
It’s that the “relative threat threshold” alert (play a sound when you pass 110% or whatever arbitrary value the user sets) you decide to set in the addon), never plays/initiates.
In reply to jym_:
do you have a VOD of that and can tell me the exact settings used? In my VOD everything looks fine, but I'm also playing with raw threat and the threat warnings trigger on relative threat.
In reply to dfherr:
unfortunately i dont have a vod. no screen flash, no sound.

Any way to fix this ?
Thanks a lot.
In reply to Trabby:
there is a small error in the french translation files. I already merged a PR to fix it and will release a new version soon
In reply to dfherr:
Thanks a lot ! What a quick fix !
Have a nice evening.
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?
