Features

  • Threat Display: The core functionality of the addon is to display threat levels of raid or party members on a target.
  • Tank Mode: A specific mode designed for tanks, potentially showing threat on multiple targets or highlighting targets based on threat.
  • Skeram Module: A feature specifically for the boss The Prophet Skeram, likely providing unique threat insights for that encounter.
  • Debugging Mode: Provides information about addon traffic and updates, useful for troubleshooting.
  • Addon Status (Who Query): Allows users to see who else in their group is running the addon and their version. This is helpful for ensuring everyone has the latest version or identifying compatibility issues.
  • Target Frame Indicators: Can display threat information directly on the default or pfUI target frames (percentage and potentially a glow effect).
  • Full Screen Glow: An optional visual alert for high threat (specifically for non-tanks when they are close to pulling aggro).
  • Aggro Sound: An optional audio alert for high threat.
  • Configurable UI: Users can customize the visibility of columns (TPS, Threat, Percentage), bar height, number of visible bars, font, window scale, and opacity.
  • Healer Master Target (HMT): Allows a healer to set a specific tank as their "Master Target," likely influencing how threat information is displayed for them.
  • Relaying Threat Data: The addon appears to have functionality to relay threat data to other users.
  • Spec Detection: The addon attempts to detect the player's specialization based on talent points and send this information to other addon users.
