UI Testing - looking for as many volunteers as possible

Post by Magdalena »

Hey guys, I found out about another UI that might be helpful for us in end-game raids, but I will need some volunteers to help test it out.

The UI is called KLHThreatMeter, you can just do a search for Threat on the ui worldofwar site to find it.

What its supposed to do is list current threat of the group on the current target to alert you when you're doing too much and in danger of taking aggro off of a tank. A lot of raiding guilds have been using this as a training ground for people new to the bigger raids and long term hate management, as well as having the ability to test the limits as you get better, more powerful equipment without endangering a raid wipe due to aggro pulling while doing it.

If this works as well as I've heard, it may be something to help us progress even faster than we currently do and better prepare us for tougher fights later on where aggro management becomes even more important.

Need at least 1 of each class to volunteer in testing this, the more we have, the better an idea we'll have as to how useful it will be for us.

Thanks in advance!

It works very reliably I'm informed, however _everyone_ in the raid needs it.

I've been using it for quite some time and it's a very useful UI for end-game instance. It takes into account of class abilities and buff so if the MT goes down. You know exactly who the boss will go after.

It's also a good tool in letting people know how they doing in aggro mgmnt. If you see yourself close to the MT in the sense of hate and you're not suppose to be. You should consider adjusting your play stlye accordingly (back off in dps, feint, slow down on heals, etc)

On that note, I think everyone should download it and use it for a while. This will be really helpful in helping the tanks with bossses. For those with too many UI and windows in game. It's a small UI that doesnt use too much memory. You can close it and have it run in the background. The raid leader or someone else can just tell you to "back off" if you getting close in pulling hate.

Is there a UI out there that shows the aggro radius of individual mobs as compared to your level? Or does this UI do that? I'm thinking that would be a very handy UI to have, or make, if there isn't one.
