HATED TARGET
The Precision Targeting Reticle for Every Encounter
"When you need to be Rdy, be Hated."
Developed by Rdy, Guild Leader of Hated Gaming
🎯 About the Addon
Hated Target locks an animated reticle onto your current target's nameplate, so you never have to hunt for a health bar in a crowd again. Its color tells you range at a glance, it pulses every time you swap targets, and it keeps pulsing the moment your target turns out to be a healer, in the open world, in arenas and in battlegrounds.
New in 2.15.0: five reticle styles, from a single clean ring up to a layered rune sigil, and an options window. Type /ht to open it, pick a style from live previews, set the size and turn the pulses on or off.
The game increasingly locks addons out of reliable PvP information, so Hated Target leans on live spec reads, scoreboard evidence and confirmed healer casts instead of inspecting anyone. It keeps working where you need it most: mid-fight, with no wasted clicks.
🎨 Reticle Styles
| Style | Look | Motion |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | The original layered HUD: four colored arc segments, a tick ring and an outer ring. | Arcs spin at their own speeds, the ring trembles, the ticks pulse. |
| Pin | One thin ring, four ticks and a center dot. The simplest look. | A slow, quiet breathe. |
| Brackets | Four corner brackets around a gold diamond. | The corners slam in on every new target, then breathe. |
| Scope | A gold graduated dial, a split crosshair and an inner ring. | The dial creeps clockwise while the inner ring spins back. |
| Sigil | A gold rune ring, three blade arcs, inward fangs and a center gem. | Four layers moving on their own: spin, counter-spin, bite and gem spin. |
Every style shows the range colors, the target-swap pulse and the healer pulse. Classic stays the default, so your reticle only changes when you pick a new one.

📊 Pro-Tips
🪞 Try every style on a dummy
Target a training dummy, open
/htand click through the styles, then run/ht test cycleto watch your pick go through every range color and the healer pulse.
📏 Match the size to the style
Pin and Brackets read well small, while Scope and Sigil show their detail at a larger size. The size slider in the window updates the reticle live, so set it while you look at your target.
💚 Run it with Hated Kill Targets
The two addons share one healer record. A healer either addon confirms is recognized by both, across matches and sessions.
