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".
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 and cleared via a slash command ("/myt focus TankA,TankB" to set, "/myt focus" to clear).
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: 1.3.3

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.
Originally posted by Brimm 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.

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?

Okie dokie. Had thought I updated it, but guess no. Thank you.
It has come to my attention that there are fairly major issues with Tank mode, so I'll be taking a look at that today and will likely be posting a fixed version soon after.

Dunno what exactly to do for it, but it really likes spamming.
Unless I'm mistaken, LDB is an implementation that allows to detach addon data from the addon GUI - thus allowing any GUI to display the addon's data.
MyThreat is already just that - a GUI for Threat-2.0. It would be pretty dumb to push the same data to LDB. That being said, there is likely already a Threat-2.0-to-LDB addon somewhere out there.
Any plans for LDB Support? That would be so awesome, it will make it much easier to add in much UI's i think, it will at least in mine, loving the addon nonetheless
Fair enough. I'm getting used to the numbers now though, and I did some tweaking. I simply turned the absolute threat values to 0 for my levelling hunter and keep an eye on the numbers instead.
And the addition of the secondary target is a very good idea, I like it
