MyThreat

Enjoy this addon? Consider donating!

This addon works with version 3.0 of World of Warcraft Exclusively. It will not work with any previous version.

MyThreat is a simple compact threat information frame containing only the most essential data. It is designed to be a summary of the current threat situation - basically "how does threat relate to me RIGHT NOW".

Threat is automatically adjusted for Mirror Image and Fade.

There are three modes of operation:

Standard mode:
- Main use: Default behavior. Shows your threat relative to the person who currently has aggro on your target.
- The percentage value represents your threat relative to the current tank's threat.
- The threat difference represents the difference between your threat and the current tank's threat.
- The name is that of the current target's tank.
Focus mode
- Main use: On fights with multiple tanks where the DPSers need to stay below all of them (ex: Gruul, Void Reaver, Gurtogg, Eredar Twins).
- The percentage value represents your threat relative to the person on the focus list with the lowest threat.
- The threat difference represents the difference between your threat and the person on the focus list with the lowest threat.
- The name is that of the person on the focus list with the lowest threat.
- Enabled via a slash command ("/myt focus set TankA,TankB" to set, "/myt focus" to clear).
- Cleared via a slash command ("/myt focus clear").
- Set to automatically adjust to the raid's Main Tanksm as set via the Blizzard raid UI ("/myt focus tanks").
Tank mode:
- Main use: Being able to see who is about to surpass you on threat and determine rapidly your thread lead relative to the other raid members.
- The percentage value represents the person with the 2nd highest threat's relative threat compared to yours.
- The threat difference represents your lead on the 2nd highest person on the threat list.
- The name is that of the 2nd highest person on the threat list.
- Enabled via the interface options or a slash command.

The values are color coded based on level of danger of pulling threat. All values for colors can be customized via a slash command (/mythreat or /myt).

All threat information is obtained via the WoW Threat API. This AddOn is not meant as a replacement to Omen but rather as a supplement, allowing you to have summary information on your current threat situation at a glance while ignoring that of others.

This addon will no longer be hosted on WoWAce/Curse and will now exclusively be updated on WoWInterface.

Current AddOn version: 1.5.2

Brimm A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 42 Uploads: 5	Tank mode is a mode that, instead of comparing YOUR threat to the current tank's will compare YOUR threat to the highest other player in your group/raid on the mob's threat list. It's useful for tanks that wish to know how much of a threat lead they have. If you want a uniform color you can set all the thresholds to 0 (this should default to a green color). As for the background, there are no plans to add this at this time. You could look into addons that are designed to add panes on your screen? I don't know any specific mod name but I know I've seen this before.

Spahut A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 137 File comments: 111 Uploads: 0	Few comments. There is a field called "Tank Mode" when I saw that I thought "Ticking that probably enables tank mode, but what does that do" - pointing at it gets me a tool tip saying "This toggles tank mode" ... how about writing what it does. Also, it would be nice if you could disable the colors (because it can be hard to see) and have chose a uniform background behind the numbers)

Brimm A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 42 Uploads: 5	The way this addon works there is no way this would be possible as technical limitations with the Blizzard API prevent this from being easy to do. Even addons such as Omen can only try to "guesstimate" a healer's aggro on all mobs. Sorry Ault

Ault A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 12 Uploads: 0	Healer mode This looks like a really nice addon! But I'm a healer, so I'm missing a healer mode that shows the name of the mob I have the most threat on, and the percentage. I don't know if that is even possible to make, but I'd really love to have it.

Brimm A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 42 Uploads: 5	I was unaware that you could actually set multiple main tanks in the default UI (I knew you could set one, just not multiple). I'll see about adding that feature in a future release. Also, the description has been altered to properly reflect the addon's behavior.

It already "sticks" to the current tank regardless of target (I introduced that behavior when the Blizzard API opened up since it can tell us who is actually tanking the target).

Also, the problem with setting up the focus list from the "MT list" is that there is no built-in MT list in the WoW UI. There is simply *one* MT. As such, it's impossible to automatically populate it. I'd also very much like to avoid programming any features that tie into other addons and depend on them to function properly. I think having to type the focus list out - while annoying - does not require too much time or effort on the user to justify linking MyThreat to other addons such as oRA2 and CT_RaidAssist.

If it sticks to the tank, then you need to change the description, which clearly state's target's target, not "person highest on threat list".

As for the Tank list, you can set a couple "main tanks" in the default raid UI and you have then access to a draggable frame of tanks. I presume it can be checked and accessed from the code. It's all there by default.

goliath0 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 117 Uploads: 0	Amazing addon. But. If a boss targets someone besides the tank for some time (Encapsulate by Felmyst etc.) you'll lose the crucial information since usually it happens to a random player, not the tank. Maybe an option for the addon to only stick to the highest threat value person (in Standard mode) all the time? I'll do it but would like to see it as a feature And an option to build focus list from the default Main Tank list? Last edited by goliath0 : 11-07-2008 at 07:17 PM.

Okie dokie. Had thought I updated it, but guess no. Thank you.
