lolThreat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1.4b
by: Lolzen [More]

Overview
This Addon puts a Simple text on your screen, giving information about your current threat, of your target.

What does it show me?
At first the threat you have on your target. In percent.
There will be additional information shown next to your threat. It can be following:

notable Changes
As my code changed a bit, the value in tank mode can go up 100% too
Healer Mode is automically activated, when targeting a friendly player fighting a mob

[Tank Mode]
11% Get Aggro! >> Very low on Threat, mob Attacking another player
78% Get Aggro! >> High threat, but still not as high as the mob's target
85% Low on Threat! >> You should get your Aggro Back!
100% Safe Tanking >> You're tanking safe.

[Damage Mode]
21% Safe Damage >> Your threat is on a good level, proceed doing Damage.
76% High Threat! >> Be careful.
89% DAMAGE STOP >> Stop your Damage.
94% DAMAGE STOP >> Stop your Damage.

[Heal Mode]
21% Safe Threat >> No harm.
76% High Threat! >> Be careful.
80% You have AGGRO >> You have Aggro.
99% You have AGGRO >> You have Aggro.


Remind, that this Addon is very simpleminded and does not give any other information than mentioned above.

Tank Mode
Q:What is this, how do i activate?
A:lolThreat checks for a Stance or a Buff related to Tanking (Bearform, Righteous Fury...) and automatically switches to Tanking mode until the Buff is expired, cancelled or the Stance is switched.

Heal Mode
Q:What is this, how do i activate?
A:Whenever you target a friendly player who is in combat with a mob, you'll see the threat of that mob YOU have.

Looks like an attractive alternative to MyThreat. Except for one thing. Only being able to move the frame/text via LUA changes. There is lightweight and then there is...too lightweight .

If you could change LUA code and then have those changes take effect without having to exit WoW & come back, there would be no problem. But as it is, it a major hassle if you want to move the lolThreat frame/text. Such times might include when changing from a raid frame setup to a solo or party setup (where you may need to reposition things on your screen) and so on.

So WTB a way to lock/unlock & move the text without having to change the LUA, exit and come back.

Which shouldn't be surprising. All "threat" type mods have utilized the built-in Blizzard threat API since it was added to WoW when the Lich King expansion (WoW 3.0) was released.

Great Addon!!!

I'm all about light and simple... this is a great idea and I will be using it over the other threat meters.

Your lolTip is great too.

You should do a DPS mod... one that just shows your (and your pets) dps.

Thanks for sharing your work.

Thanks =)
I'm glad someone else than me can use it ;D
