It'd be nice if we had the option to let the threat % on the nameplate go over 100%. The tooltip shows it can be tracked up to 999% and I'd like to know if I have just more aggro than the next person or if I have full threat on a mob since there's a big difference between like 110% and 400% aggro.

nah, what we use is blizzards api UnitDetailedThreatSituation as what you are wanting would require us to loop through everyone on the aggro table and do a comparison and such and we arent trying to do that. Best to use something dedicated to reading grp data like that like a dedicated threat meter or something. Unless u know of a way/source we overlooked.

Is it really that bad? I just know it lists it in the tooltip. It's not exact, but it shows up in multiples of 100 up to 999% once it reaches 100%. I'm not sure how it's done but it only occurs when there are multiple sources of threat like in a dungeon. I can't make it happen solo.

I dont recall threat being shown on the tooltip unless its from another addon which i dont have, but if there isnt a quick api, i don't plan on changing how it currently works if involves looping the group list and getting their values for comparison.

I disabled all addons and it still shows threat in the tooltip so it must be base. I don't know.

So I found out something interesting today. When treants come out and take aggro, the aggro on the nameplate already goes over 100% so it seems like it should be able to do that normally.

it went over because they have more than u, soo idk

Like i have mentioned, we are using the api UnitDetailedThreatSituation which returns the following
isTanking, status, scaledPercentage, rawPercentage, threatValue = UnitDetailedThreatSituation(unit, mobUnit) only things we use from this is status and scaledPercentage, you are prob wanting rawPercentage or threatValue.... if you want to edit the code to test and see, i may add an option or something to show them in addition to or instead of but at the moment i do not have plans to do so unless they work for you.
if you are curious to what that stuff is https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_UnitDetailedThreatSituation you can reopen with ur results

Okay. I really had no idea what to look at before but now I have looked at the wowpedia page and tried the other two values.

• rawPercentage is weirdly wonky; I've had threat at 70% and not had it at 101%. Most of the time it's 255% when I have aggro so even when it doesn't feel wonky it doesn't seem any better than scaledPercentage.
• threatValue is just the raw number value which would require a lot of extra work.

So you're right. With the API how it is currently is the best we can reasonably do.
