ThreatClassic2

ThreatClassic2

ThreatClassic2 is a threat meter for WoW Classic (Era, Anniversary, Mists) and WoW Forever.

Features

Core

- Threat list for your target including party/raid members. You're always shown, even outside the top bars.

- Pull aggro bar: threat needed to pull from the current tank (110% melee / 130% range), relative or absolute.

- Threat per second option and time to pull aggro estimation

- Healer mode: shows your target's target when you target a friendly unit (Classic only).

- Out of melee filter: hide or change the style of players the threat API considers out of melee range

- Scaled (100% = aggro) or raw threat percentages (110% melee / 130% range = aggro)

Warnings

- Sound and/or screen flash when crossing a threat threshold.

- Tank mode: while you have aggro, warn when another unit gets close to pulling it.

- Warning trigger customization (separately for damage and tank mode):
- Minimum threat amount

- mininum time between warnings

- repeated warnings while above threshold

- disabled while tanking (damage mode) / only when tanking (tank mode)

Styling

- Fully customizable appearance via (LibSharedMedia)

- Class colors or custom colors for yourself, the active tank, off-tanks and other units.

- Supports custom class colors from !ClassColors (via CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS).

- Out of melee coloring: desaturate, darken, fade or overwrite the color.

- Ignite owner indicator (Classic Era only).

- Visibility: hide out of combat, solo, in PvP, in the open world or always.

Mainline (WoW Forever and Retail) differences

Mainline clients restrict addon access to some combat data, so a few features work differently:

- The target filter list matches boss encounter names instead of unit names and applies to all enemies during that encounter.

- Healer mode (target of target) is not available. Target the enemy directly to see its threat list.

- Tank detection (disable while tanking / only when tanking) uses your specialization role on Retail. WoW Forever uses Defensive Stance, Bear Form and Righteous Fury, but due to API restrictions Righteous Fury can only be checked outside of combat.

Commands

- /tc2 opens the options

- /tc2 toggle shows or hides the frame

- /tc2 version prints the installed version

FAQ

Q: Why use ThreatClassic2 instead of ClassicThreatMeter?

ClassicThreatMeter is outdated and should no longer be used.

Q: Why am I not seeing other players in the beginning of combat?

A: You can not see a monster's threat data before you are on the monster's threat table (i.e. did damage to it or caused any kind of aoe threat like healing or buffing). This is a restriction of the Blizzard API and cannot be changed.

Q: Is this addon under active development and will get more features?

A: Yes! I do accept feature requests and will add new features to the addon. Feel free to open an issue or +1 an existing feature request, so I can see the most sought after features!

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes ThreatClassic2 by dfherr. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on CurseForge on 3 October 2026: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/threatclassic2

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on edge.forgecdn.net, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

GAME FLAVOUR

This is a retail (modern World of Warcraft) build. It will not work in the Classic clients, which run a different interface API.

INTERFACE VERSION

Built against game version 12.1.0. After a patch, an addon that has not been updated is flagged out of date; most keep working, and the "Load out of date AddOns" checkbox on the character screen lets you try.

DEPENDENCIES

Some addons need a separate library addon (Ace3, LibStub and friends) that is not bundled. If the addon does not appear in the list in game, a missing dependency is the usual reason.

1. Quit World of Warcraft completely. The game reads the AddOns folder at launch and will overwrite settings for an addon added while it is running.

2. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

3. Move the folder — the one with the .toc file in it, not the zip's wrapper folder — into:

World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns

4. Start the game. On the character selection screen, click AddOns and check that it is listed and enabled.

IF IT DOES NOT APPEAR

Nine times out of ten the folder is nested one level too deep. Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing/Thing.toc will not load; Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing.toc will.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder before unzipping the new one. Unzipping over the top leaves files behind that the new version no longer expects.
