# TankThreatIndicator - Visual Threat Monitoring for Tanks

 

## Overview

 

**TankThreatIndicator** is a lightweight, highly customizable addon designed specifically for tanks to monitor their threat levels in real-time. It displays clear, visual threat percentage indicators above enemy nameplates, allowing you to maintain aggro control with confidence during intense combat situations.

 

## Key Features

 

### 🎯 Real-Time Threat Display

- **Clear percentage indicators** (0-100%) displayed directly above enemy nameplates

- **Dynamic color-coding** based on threat level:

  - 🔴 Red (0-50%): Low threat - needs attention

  - 🟡 Yellow (51-80%): Medium threat - building aggro

  - 🟢 Green (81-100%): High threat - full control

When your ally has the aggro, whether in a raid or another activity, the shield that appears on the plater will be blue.

### 🎨 Multiple Visual Styles

Choose from **5 different indicator designs** to match your UI preferences:

1. **Circle Gradient** - Modern glowing circles with smooth gradients

2. **Classic Shield** - Traditional shield icon design

3. **Modern Square** - Minimalist square indicators

4. **Tactical Hexagon** - Military-style hexagonal display
