Hi,

I am searching for something like a "multiple" threat meter .. I explain..

Whenever I pull a group of 3-4 mobs, as my partners DPS alot and barely focus my targets, I usually lose aggro, so I would like to have a threath meter just like omen .. but that would display threat active for every single mobs in the pull .. does it actually exist?

Diamond Threat Meter presumably does this, using the pre-3.0 way (by keeping a database of ability -> threat mappings, rather than querying a unit's actual threat level). Unfortunately, the author seems to have stopped supporting it. It's a perfectly understandable decision, given the enormous work maintaining this addon must have been, but it also means that it likely can't be relied on for much longer.

The general problem with the 3.0 threat API is that you need a unit to query its threat levels. That means in general that somebody has to have it targeted or on focus, whereas a combatlog-based approach can also handle untargeted mobs (but is a lot more difficult to implement).

Omen was able to do this with some tricks before switching to the Blizz threat API. Best option is to get a nameplate mod like Aloft that gives you a better color indication if you're loosing threat.

Other than that Omen and a lot of hitting the tab key is your friend.

Cheers!

There is a trick with omen.

If you don't have a mob targeted but your patner, omen will show the threat of the mob your partner is targetting.
This won't do you no good because you want to target your mob and hit it.
Here comes a second trick, if you rightclick on omen you can order it to watch the threat of your focus instead of your target.

So, there's two things you can do: put a mob in focus you're not working on and track the threat on that mob or...................put your partner in focus and omen will show the threat of the mob your partner is working on.

I use the "focus trick" a lot on Kologarn. Dps normally is working on the right arm so you don't need to do much on the body, just doing a bit of threat to stay above healers and aoe splash is enough. This way I can help dps and sunder up the right arm and still know when to do my abilities on the body to stay ahead.

They do exist, but I have had bad experiences with them in the past. Best thing I've found to work is a simple Omen TM and Blizzards own built in threat monitor. I pull many groups at a time in my heroics and it helps to see colors around name plates for me. Blizz has it so that if the name plate is Red you have 90-100% threat, yellow you have up to 80% threat, and no color means they are focusing on someone else. Most of the time the only thing I'm using Omen for is the 'Pull Agro' bar.
Just make sure you have all the right settings in the Interface Options Menu for threat meter help, and of course; make sure you're using name plates. Not only do they help you click and choose targets easier, but they do show you those colors.

Install Aloft. Turn on glows for threat indications and change it from warning with high threat to warning based on lower than 100% threat.

Ensure healthbars for enemies are showing, then customize for visibility as you like.

Multiple threat add-_-On

In short, the addon isn't really possible. The only work around is using a name plate mod, as many people have already posted.
