Sexy Nameplates

Know who's holding the mob — and when someone's about to pull it — right on the default nameplates. Built for WoW: Forever, where combat data is sealed and most threat addons simply go blind.

Why this addon

WoW: Forever runs on the modern client with Midnight's addon restrictions. Threat data reaches addons as secret values: they can be displayed, but never read, compared or calculated. Threat percentages, "who's second on threat", threat meters — all of it is off the table.

Sexy Nameplates never tries to read those values. Instead it lays out several colored layers on each nameplate and lets the game engine itself decide which one is visible. You get a full, live threat readout without the addon ever seeing a single number.

Features

Threat indicator on every enemy nameplate — tells you at a glance whether a pull is coming.
Three display styles
- Mob health color (default): tints the filled part of the health bar, so remaining health stays readable.
- Separate bar above or below the nameplate.
- Target name color: the name of whoever holds the mob takes the threat color.
Tank and non-tank modes, or Auto — picks the mode from your group role (TANK → tank mode, DAMAGER or HEALER → non-tank mode).
Who's holding the mob, shown above the nameplate in class color.
Works in dungeons too. There the client seals even the mob's target name. Your own name and your tanks' names still show up in class color when they hold the mob.
Name options: full name or first name only, a length limit, and how pets are shown (owner's name with a pet mark, owner's name only, or the pet's own name).
Colors taken from Blizzard's own reaction palette — muted, native-looking, and fully configurable.
English and Russian, switchable on the fly in the settings.
Raid-optimized: the number of elements per nameplate depends on how many tanks you have, not on raid size. A 40-player raid costs the same as a 5-player group.

What the indicator tells you

Tank mode

Holding, nobody close — you have it, nobody is near the pull threshold.
Holding, someone pulling — you have it, but someone is already above 100%.
Holding, another tank pulling — the one catching up is another tank (a taunt swap, not an emergency).
Another tank holds — the mob is on another tank.
Not on me — the mob isn't on you or on any tank.

Non-tank mode

Tank holds — all good.
Pulling — you're above 100%, back off.
On me — you've already pulled it.
Not on a tank — the mob is loose.

Default colors follow the usual threat-addon convention: green means the right person holds it, yellow and orange mean a pull is coming, red means the mob isn't where it should be.

Known limitations

These come from the client, not from the addon:

No threat percentages or numbers — the client never exposes them.
"Next on threat" is rarely available. Naming the runner-up requires comparing players, and there's nothing to compare. It appears only when someone is already above 100%.
In dungeons, the holder's name is class-colored only for you and your tanks. Anyone else shows up as an uncolored name.
The "Target name color" style shows three levels instead of four. Text can't tell "holding, nobody close" from "holding, someone pulling", so for tanks both show as holding. If you tank, use the health or bar style to get the "someone pulling" warning.
Threat is visible only for your own group.

The addon is designed for the default Blizzard nameplates. It hasn't been tested with nameplate replacements such as Plater or Threat Plates.
