What is KLHThreatMeter?

Quote:
 
KLHThreatMeter

KLHThreatMeter is like a damage meter, except it records your threat. By monitoring all the abilities you use and checking your talents, armour set bonuses and buffs, the addon can recreate the threat list of a mob. This makes tank transitions simple, and allows DPS to maximise their damage without pulling aggro.

Note: due to the intricacies of threat, it is only possible to accurately determine your own threat, because you don't know what talents other players are using; also some abilities can only be detected by the player who uses them. Therefore everyone in your party or raid group needs the addon installed to have their threat appear on the table. In practice only the tanks and DPS need to have the addon, healers might use it to check upcoming tank transitions or warn DPS who are going too high.

No: Then stop reading! Sheesh!

5) Last Resort

If worst comes to worst, you can always try deleting your current \Addons\KLHThreatMeter directory, then reinstalling and trying the Troubleshooting section again. This can reveal some directory problems.


Failing that, it's most likely that you haven't read the instructions properly, in which case i can recommend one or more of the following:

a) Beating your head against a wall. It needs it.
B) Going back to Freecell. You're not ready for the complexities of WoW it seems.

To use

This addon records how much threat you are generating, and shares that information with your group members. For this addon to reveal its maximum potential, all party members should have this addon installed. Idealy, each of you should have your threat generation recorded by your addon and shared with the others in your group. In a small interface window, each person's threat will be displayed from highest to lowest. This way the tank knows who he has to pull aggro off of, and the others know when they have really ticked off the mob and should back off a moment.

The interface is REALLY simple to read. You dont need to do anything fancy. If you want to mess with the settings, that's up to you, but it works perfectly and unobtrusively just the way it is.

Details

There are some tiny buttons on the tiny bar. Here's what they do:

Set Master Target: The threat recored is the general threat that the player has caused to the group. If the leader wants to set a "master target" (lets say the boss) the threat displayed on the meter is for THAT target only, not the general group. This will help in off=tank situations, but probably will not be needed to be implemented for every fight.

Options: In here you can change various things like auto turn off / on when leaving / joining party, color scheme, and which classes to include.

Minimize: Colapses the list into the main KTM bar.

Close: Hides the KTM bar completely.

At anytime you can type /ktm to control your addon settings.
