Bro. This was an insane find for me. This video has helped me so much. New to tanking in DF and I've been struggling with my ui and keeping track of alot of things. How you're not bigger blows my mind. TYSM!!

[@razorduke]

Excellent guide! I had been experimenting with different nameplate addons trying to find the one I liked best and this one is so great! My setup is pretty similar to yours, but under automation I have it set to show healthbars instead of headlines on friendly units in combat. I ended up leaving neutral NPCs to healthbar view because on attackable NPCs/creatures I'd prefer to see their healthbar-- and the headline "force view by status" option takes care of the other ones. There's so many options it's really easy to tweak it the way you want.

[@ScottDickson-nh5yn]

Great step by step guide. Very informative. I loved your macro guide too! You should have way more followers!

[@DungeonCoachGaming]

Thanks for that!! 💜😇

[@Mythansar]

Great video there! Keep it up! Very informative! 🙂

[@wolfsavergroup7734]

Thank you for such a valuable video! - we need more people like you explaining these sort of addons for making the game more fun.

[@sharonmadden6753]

Thanks for this. I wanted to stop using ELVUI and this was easy to follow - I love my set up.

[@chriseggroll]

thanks for this video! i've been using threat plates for a while and this helped clarify some of the settings

[@thecasualgamer2011]

After fumbling around with this addon to no avail, for many hours. I can finally understand the guide. Thank you!

[@trash0risk]

i was looking for an option for hours. this video helped me find it! thanks

[@richardjohnson2186]

Not only are your videos, very educational, and easy to understand and you dont jump all over the place when explaining stuff, I find you funny too. Keep up the good work.

[@JayOlson]

Thank you! Great video and walkthrough of all the settings!

[@smudgestv]

thank you this video was really helpful and has made my wow experience so much better!

[@BongerZ013]

@32:25 (just stamping this for personal reference) thank you for the time you put into this video and making navigation through TP easier

[@Yukito590]

Followed this guide since Kui Nameplates died with Dragonflight pre-patch. I was seriously dreading setting up Nameplates all over again but thanks to your guide it went quicker

[@DungeonCoachGaming]

YES! thank you for that

[@willlawlor2398]

Exact same boat. I greatly appreciate this :)

[@Yukito590]

One thing I'll mention here for any readers scrolling by is one of the very last steps you did was enable friendly player click through on the nameplates, so town NPCs are easier to click. That makes sense with you being a tank. But it took me a minute to realize as a Healer it was screwing me up in battlegrounds until I disabled that setting. I was struggling to click my team dudes on the field 🤣

[@DungeonCoachGaming]

@@Yukito590 interesting, I can totally see that lol! Good point!

[@psycodnger]

hello guys .In kui nameplates there was a part called Cvars, it was so that plate names didn't go off the screen when the boses were giants. Do you know if threat plate has that function to configure?

[@unfknblvable5292]

Great video mate. Subscribed and belled!

[@spenegdt]

I learned so much more about this addon then I thought was possible. Thank you so much for the time and effort that went into making this guide. You Cleared up a lot of questions that I had. I have 1 issue that I cannot resolve. When I target something, there is a white border around the nameplate. I just can't figure it out. Btw I just subscribed, I really like your content. DISREGUARD: I watched your video again and figured it out. I missed it the first go around. Thanks again.

[@kemical4chaos688]

The UI goat himself. I have now gone back to this video like 8 times. lol Its just too helpful

[@OneEighthofAwesome]

Your video helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[@RoguesNtheHouse]

Another great video!

[@paolajazmin195]

Love this, thank you!

[@GTFOIMAO]

Thanks for this. got my plates sorted. Somehow it was hard to find a good setting for the spacing of these plates. i ended up testing for an hour for tanking. ended up on 0.01 75% and 68% under blizzard settings in general tab. Under threat system textures i removed that as it is very annoying on your screen. If green good, yellow slap some tps on it. green you tank it. All fine! perfect. Thanks again

[@mothman84]

In case you're wondering, 'localization' is a technical term specific to translation studies. It refers in general to any changes you might make in translation so that things feel familiar to the reader of a translated text, and in particular to changing formats of date&time, units of measure, and such. You 'localize' stuff so that it fits the habits of the target reader. See that, 'Transliterate Cyrillic Letters'? It's worth a try if you're at a loss with all the 'Russian' names in the game.

[@Sal_Vito]

Launch of Cataclysm classic, this vid really does Threat Plates justice. Thank you!

Great Video, Thank you !

[@mykmykov8829]

May i ask if i can change the threat style in health bar section to not be with borders, maybe changing the color of the whole bar ( or just get rid of that bar when dont have full agro )

[@alexandreprestes2987]

Awsome video broh, helps me a lot

[@DungeonCoachGaming]

No problem 👍

[@azulot]

thanks you man ✌👍

[@athanasegilotin1512]

thank you very much :)

[@rollie3312]

[@akamai8097]

Great guide! Even for the Wotlk Classic version a lot of the stuff translates.

[@BlavBoySS]

hey man, appreciate the video. i've been trying to set up threat plates but for some reason when i enter a raid group or party the default blizzard nameplates come up. when i'm not in a group all friendly nameplates are set up perfectly as I want it to be through the addon. is there a setting in threat plates to keep the same nameplate configuration in a group? sorry if you answered this at some point in the video, might have missed it due to the length of the video >.

[@Deiwulf]

Not sure if I missed it but TP doesn't have any filtering by target distance does it? Plater has it, and it's been very handy, but lacks in other areas.

[@lucienmarras2390]

tnx big love D

[@HP-pr8bc]

hey, nice video. I have a big question. u have a target bar with health in % right of ur gleves. I really need this. how I get this?

[@cfrogers0208]

ok so is there a way to have numerical hp? i can get it so i can see it on the target but not for people running around. id like to pick out a 30k hp archer in a crowd.

[@MrDaveronline]

Great video I am going to try it out. I main as DPS is there a way to indicate what is interruptable?

[@AcE-tt5hy]

Thank you coach

[@austinb4964]

nice video!

[@DungeonCoachGaming]

Thanks!

[@WingJuni]

How did you hide the original wow bubble with the mob face, hp and mp? I can´t get to hide it

[@jmunkki]

I tried Tidy Plates, but I just wan't happy with it. I think I spent around 3 hours on Threat Plates after watching your video and I think I'm OK with what I got now. It's a huge improvement in many respects and just a few minor things aren't quite as I would like. It's cool that you can use the (optional) DogTag library to customize all the text labels, so I made friendly names show either the guild or the health under the player name. If the target health is under 95%, then that is shown and colored yellow or red based on the percentage: [PercentHP < 0.3 ? Red ! (PercentHP < 0.5 ? Yellow)][PercentHP < 95 ? Concatenate(Round(HP / 1000), "K ", PercentHP, "%") ! Guild]

[@PopS_BangS_Tc2]

when i use kidney shot as a rogue it show on the top also on the side.. is there a way to take the top off and leave the side on for crowd control?

[@psycodnger]

In kui nameplates there was a part called Cvars, it was so that plate names didn't go off the screen when the boses were giants. Do you know if threat plate has that function to configure?

[@acken4336]

Awesome guide , helped me fix some things , though I was mainly looking for my "Personal Cast Bar" , does this addon even have Cast Bar ? anyone could help me w that ? thanks

[@fennec7906]

How do you set it so that the enemy nameplates target is in text? And I never could find out how to make the crowd control icons smaller/bigger.

[@Pachbel4961]

Hey Coach! This guide is awesome, but I had a question! Currently playing classic SoD, and trying to use ThreatPlates to show friendly name plates in dungeons, but no matter what I do it only shows default blizzard nameplates. I made "show blizzard nameplates" was off in visibility, but still no luck! I'm playing heal mage so i want to see the buffs and things i'm putting on friends to manage my heals! I heard that blizzard made some sort of ban or something that prevented friendly (only friendly) nameplates from being modified by addons in dungeons/instanced areas back in legion, but I don't know if that's true. Any help? Super frustrating!

[@jimmyredd5229]

How you keep the size the same of the monster hp bar the same as when you pull in combat I got the same settings as you but the add-on changes to a smaller size when I go in combat with it

[@willlawlor2398]

Is there a way I can change the positioning of the percentage in my enemy health bars?

[@Rigpa88]

after i change the blizzard settings and drop down the vertical overlap like you have, each time I log out and back in it resets this specific setting, but nothing else? any thoughts on how to correct this?

[@alexfredericksen1234]

Is it possible to have something to that tells me exactly which add im attacking at the moment, like a highlight in the group of adds like this is the one youre on

[@GkWarku]

SO do I have to become a patron for the code? I like what you have done and I would like to test it

[@stepitup23]

how do i change the size of FRIENDLY raid markers? Its unfortunately not the setting on target markers

[@saibabax]

Is there something i can do to stop the "border" flickering when i move my camera around?

[@Profe-R]

Nice vid man. I have a question about enemy players. In BGs I only see their names, without the health bar. How can I fix it?

[@sabri_95818]

yo thanks for the guide , just want to ask how to let the bar view always shown on the ennemies ?

[@xPlayerFromHell]

How do I adjust my current target size? Whenever I click what I want to attack, the name and health bar gets like 50% bigger and it’s too much. Slightly bigger would be enough and it’s annoying at the moment

[@ItsBarnabyJones]

how do you test the enemy cast bars to customize the enemy cast bar and spell icon. Idk what else to do but have a mob cast on me until i die lol.

[@Lortafant_of_Norway]

Can't find how I make the debuff above the plate bigger. It's so small on default Icon width, okey, found it, but my version won't allow me to change size...

[@dmkillasubway7854]

where is it? i want to remove the buffs above the enemy nameplate

[@malebolji]

Thanks men realy good one i use but i have a qeustion where to gett you weak auras at end of this video

[@Mr.Bravoo]

Thank you for the guide. As stated earlier, KUI died with patch 10.0. I liked this simple addon but my issue is that it shows all the non triggered adds in the instance and it becomes confusing. Any solution for that?

[@Gaz1990]

Does turning off 'always show nameplates' in the wow settings fix that? GL👍

[@shelbymagee3808]

how do you spread out a mobs healthbars mine are all stacked ontop of eachother cant see who im htiing

[@leeoboyle2887]

might be missing something here lol I use Threat plates BUT cannot find the Overlapping, stacking option UI frames end up in the sky before they do NOT overlap any helpers ty

[@cburt22ify]

Does anyone know why the scaling of name plates won't work if I am in combat? Its so key for me to make whoever I have targeted bigger, is there anything I am missing within settings do this doesn't turn off once i pull a pack of mobs?

[@COREcasual]

Do the health bars disappear if they are too high? For example, if there's a huge boss, most health bars are above the camera so you can't see it. Plater locks it at the top of the screen.... does that plates do that?

[@posted1426]

can you enable your own characters headline view to look the same as the friendly player headline view?

[@theCikon]

Does someone know how i can disable that Threat Plates shows me enemy cool downs above their heahltbar?

[@saifalharjan4695]

thank u man thank u

[@zeck8541]

March 2, 2024 the "copy from" or "import" from one character's profile to a new character does not work. I have tried a thousand times to get my settings from my hunter to my DK but nothing works. Help please. Current TP version is 11.1.39 and is the must up to date offered on Curse. I don't want to have to manually go through everything for every single character I have.

[@umer889]

can any one please tell me how can i increase size of buss for example as feral druid the size of thrash rake rip on enemy name plates. spent 2 days cannot understand

[@felixkrell890]

I don't see enemy cast bars in PvP with this addon in SoD - any idea why that could be?

[@126Marius]

Idk if he goes over this in the last part but i cant seem to find any way to increase the distance for the nameplates to actually activate... I have to get pretty close to mobs in order to actually see the nameplates

[@LongboardingKassel]

Great Video. Time stamps would be awsome, I m looking where I can create bigger deebuffs on the target. Maybe someone can help me.

[@douglascestari6600]

How do you scale an aggroed target to be bigger. Preaggro all are yellow and selecting one makes it bigger. Aggro them they all are same scale and green no matter how you switch focus too....

[@fredrikjohansson2743]

I can't find it, but is it possible to show all debuffs on the "Threat Plates"?

[@kentadriansen8186]

Hey, nice video. I just have 1 problem. I play classic wotlk, and nameplates wont stay inside the screen if the mob is bigger and so on. Try to figure out how to clamp the plates to screen, but with no luck….anyone can help me out?

[@godriqlight3571]

How do you Increase the range of the threat plate for casters?

[@samirphilipp1613]

Hey Man, awesome video and explanation. I love the addon aswell and don't wont to change it but I struggle at bosses who are very big so I cant see the threatplate and therefore my debuffs anymore. Is there a way to solve that? :)

[@DungeonCoachGaming]

100% anything that is NEEDED for you to know for your roation etc, I have a WeakAura for have a target debuff weakaura that you can also display over your Target in the nameplates. Thats what I would do. I do that on my DH to see who has frailty

[@wahyuwest2951]

[@RobertoVillaLobby]

Can someone tell me how to shop tooltips on enemy buffs? Trying to perfect my knowledge in pvp without having to play every class/spec.

[@miguelcamarillo8318]

Anybody know if you can change the color of your own health bar?

[@TheHanfried]
