ThreatPips
- By
Your threat on every enemy at a glance: 1–5 DPS role icons under the nameplate health bar, going orange as you catch the tank and red when the mob turns on you.
Description
ThreatPips puts your threat where you're already looking: right under the enemy's health bar.
Every mob whose threat table you're on gets a row of 1 to 5 of Blizzard's own DPS role icons under its nameplate. Each icon is 20% of the threat of whoever the mob is currently attacking, so five icons means you're neck and neck with the tank — or already tanking it.
How to read it
- 1 icon = 1–20% of the tank's threat, 2 = 21–40%, 3 = 41–60%, 4 = 61–80%, 5 = 81–100% or tanking
- White — safe
- Orange — you have more threat than the tank but the mob hasn't switched to you yet
- Red — the mob is on you
Features
- Works on the default Blizzard nameplates, no setup
- Moves out of the way of the mob's cast bar and back up when the cast ends
- Nothing is drawn on mobs you haven't touched, so the screen stays clean
- Updates instantly from the threat events plus a light half-second safety refresh
- Icon size is adjustable and saved per character
- No libraries, no options panel, one Lua file
Commands
/tpips— toggle on/off/tpips size <6–40>— icon size (default 12)/tpips reset— reset icon size
