Your videos deserve so many more views. High quality, very in depth analysis, and it’s obvious you’ve put a lot of time and care into your videos. I hope you make more with the new patch!!
I just discovered you 2 days ago looking up a different addon. You have been a tremendous amount of help on several addons as I've gone through your library and thank you. I have subscribed.
This is a great video, great info, I just don't understand why you didn't review them one by one, makes it harder to sort through the info for 1 particular one. Thanks for the upload
Dude, fricken good job!!! you are so clear and to the point. I've been looking for a new nameplate addon, and before getting to the end I downloaded Threat Plates. then continued watching ;)
Great content, a video about unit frame addons would be great as well, maybe even taking it a step further to test using elvui for other ui elements, but disabling the module for unit frames and using grid2 in conjunction with elvui.
I just came across a couple of your videos. First of all they's still valuable today. Second, your channel deserve a lot of subs, for your effort and for all the data you bring
Here are a few ideas for other mod comparison videos. ... Action Bar Addons: ?Autobar?, Bartender, CTMod, Dominos, ?OPie? | AH Addons: Auctionator, Auctioneer, AuctionMaster, TSM | Bag Addons: AdiBags, Bagnon, Inventorian, OneBag3, Sorted | Castbar Addons: Castbars, ?Dominos?, Gnosis, NugCast, Quartz | Mail Addons: Bulk Mail, CTMod, EasyMail, GoPost, ?MailCommander?, Postal ... Some of them might not exactly fit, like Autobar & Opie don't change your action bars, but do give you extra buttons / bindings like an action bar. Love the videos.
I've been using Threat Plates for a while now, and just recently tried Plater, to compare. Maybe I'm not hardcore enough with all the plater settings, but I can't seem to get the nameplates as smooth with Plater, as I do with Threat Plates.
I appreciate it and am glad you are finding them to be helpful! I've always wondered about the differences between addons and couldn't find good answers so I figured I would test it myself.
I love the look of the nameplates in arena spectate mode which is why I use threat plates I was able to get it exactly the same in pve aswell and it just looks so clean! Idk why they didn’t have that as default nameplates
Can some1 help I tried plater but only showed mobs health bar above them. It didn't show a health bar above enemy play or friendly. So I removed it I can now see the mobs health and friendly player health bar above there head but the enemy player health bar above there head is missing
Trying to set my ELVUI nameplates configuration. Something that really bothers me and cant find how to fix, is the color of the enemy NPC bars. Once engaged in combat, they turn green instead of red (which i pref). any ideas?
Exactly what I was looking for! Massive like. I already hate details! for it's massive cpu and memory usage and was looking for a nameplate alternative since plater is the same massive pile of resource hogging crap. Thanks for the vid!
Once again, Stellar video. I have used threat plates for a while now. It really is great. I have uninstalled it though on my quest to stop mobs from other rooms and levels cluttering up my screen. I am not sure if it is the game itself or the add on, causing the issue. As a tank, too much clutter is death. I at its most basic level , only need to know if I have dependable threat on all mobs and which is about to go eat my healer, AND. I need to know what bad juju my co tank has so I can taunt when appropriate. I am interested in the add ons that notify of an important mob ability. So I will investigate those based on your suggestions! Thank you for your work!
I am not sure if thats the case you are describing but I experienced a similar issue with nameplates. It sounds like you have nameplates turned always on, so it detects the mobs that are in some fixed range and thats why it shows you all of them. Maybe if you can find and turn on a setting to show only nameplates of mobs in combat it could potentially fix your problem. At least that fixed it for me.
@@Galletti95 Oh! I never even considered that. I DO want to see all mobs as a tank, just to be able to see that one lone caster in the corner that just decided to start lobbing crap at us. BUT if showing all, all the time is breaking it thru the floors of maps and all, I may have to adjust as you suggested. I will try that after work today. Thank you for sharing! :fist bump:
@@kimibimi7532 Bringing an old comment back to life here that may be resolved but I believe there is an option for only showing in combat mobs, as well as only showing mobs that are in LoS. I think you can even change the opacity of mobs behind the wall to only be at like 20-30% visibility so that you can see that something is there but it is much less distracting when it’s just a mostly transparent outline of their bar. Hope that helps.
Hello, Great break down of each addon. I have a off question, what is the addon that you're using to show spell proc on your mouse cursor? Thank you for your time.
Good question, it is actually a WeakAura for Resto Druids. You can use it by downloading the WeakAura addon and then Copy the import string on this link: wago.io/cursorcombo. You can look on that website for auras for your other classes as well (not sure which other classes have them, I usually only use on healers when keeping spells on someone is important)
I've try toddy plates but I have a problem with. Can't hide my pet bar on the enemy bar with my hunter I've searched every where. It's so ugly to have his green bar on the enemy bar. Except this i like the addon
Hey guys I’m pretty new to wow nameplate Addons does anyone know if there is a add on that when I apply a debuff the nameplate changes color it would help me a lot. I play rogue and it’s hard to keep up with all my bleeds
Hey brother quick question for you. Do you know how to fix the clamping issue with KUI with the tbc version of the game? I have the same settings that you have but when I fight a boss like gruel or mag the heath bar goes off screen, unless I zoom the camera out more I can not see the name plate.
Sure, you can go under the "CVars" options in the Kui settings and then enable "Allow Kui Nameplates to modify CVars" and then adjust the clamps to where you want at the bottom :)
Added to the list :) In the meantime, I'll tell you that 2 of my personal favorite unit frames are Shadowed Unit Frames and a lesser-known one called RUF. Maybe one of those will work for you. They are both lightweight (SUF more so) and look good with some adjusting.
@@ArcaneIntellect thank you! I heal in mythic raid and have my raid frames set up where everyone is organized by role (tanks top left, followed by healers, then DPS, from left to right). Works fine in grid2 but I can’t get this setup to work well in SUF. The vernacular is confusing to me. My “columns” are acting like rows…
another great video! thanks for sharing. maybe a video on auction house addons would be cool? seems like there are tons of options between the simple built in AH and things like TSM4
Glad you enjoyed them! They do take quite a bit of work to make, but I am planning on updating them and making more addon videos as well! Just been too hooked playing DF lol!
If that is all you are looking for you may want to check out an addon like Diminish DR Tracker. It will add color-coding to icons above your nameplates (and party frames) that tell you when diminishing returns are kicking in.
I used the default profile of each addon to make it fair. If you want to customize it, I have a video that walks through Kui's settings (ua-cam.com/video/4E1ixEQCuB0/v-deo.html)
Lol, using a curve to show customizabilty makes no sense when you are only tracking one factor. Even when tracking two different factors to see correlation, it still makes no sense since you are comparing different addons. A bar chart would make sense instead.
You clearly put a tremendous amount of time, energy and enthusiasm into this video. Thank you for being you.
Thanks Salvatore!
@@ArcaneIntellect which plater addon is best for tank? threatplater?

Absolutely love this and glad I stumbled upon it. Opened my eyes and convinced me to get a new nameplate addon.
Glad it helped!
Thanks forthe video, I was using tidyplates and had no ideia about those other addons
Why my name plates addons can't see fair way like you guys do?
Your videos are fantastic and you are my second subscription after Quazii.
Very well done! Being on a slightly older machine I truly appreciate the time you put into testing the resources these take up. Bravo! 👍❤️💪
Here are a few ideas for other mod comparison videos.
...
Action Bar Addons: ?Autobar?, Bartender, CTMod, Dominos, ?OPie?
|
AH Addons: Auctionator, Auctioneer, AuctionMaster, TSM
|
Bag Addons: AdiBags, Bagnon, Inventorian, OneBag3, Sorted
|
Castbar Addons: Castbars, ?Dominos?, Gnosis, NugCast, Quartz
|
Mail Addons: Bulk Mail, CTMod, EasyMail, GoPost, ?MailCommander?, Postal
...
Some of them might not exactly fit, like Autobar & Opie don't change your action bars, but do give you extra buttons / bindings like an action bar. Love the videos.

I use KUI for one reason. It lets me use name only mode mixed with health bars.
I've been using Threat Plates for a while now, and just recently tried Plater, to compare. Maybe I'm not hardcore enough with all the plater settings, but I can't seem to get the nameplates as smooth with Plater, as I do with Threat Plates.
I've been using Plater as well I don't really it too much. I came to this video to see about alternatives to Plater XD
Yo great video. You put in a lot of work here, kept it simple. Well done!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
You have what may be the most helpful videos for WoW. Ty!
I appreciate it and am glad you are finding them to be helpful! I've always wondered about the differences between addons and couldn't find good answers so I figured I would test it myself.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I think UI addons would be a good one to look at. Thanks for the suggestion!
there is dragonflight prepatch, and threat plates lag as faq at bgs/mass outdoor, instead plater/elv/default
Bro i want bottom left profile so bad i been looking for it like a month pls share ...

Hey, how do you install only elvui nameplates and not the rest of the ui ?
I installed the full ElvUI addon and then disabled every piece but the nameplates in the options with the "Enable" checkboxes :)
i loved all these addon videos!! if its not that much work, would you mind updating them for DF?
Glad you enjoyed them!
They do take quite a bit of work to make, but I am planning on updating them and making more addon videos as well!

Great video!
what kui profile did you use
I used the default profile of each addon to make it fair. If you want to customize it, I have a video that walks through Kui's settings (ua-cam.com/video/4E1ixEQCuB0/v-deo.html)
amazing information friend
I WANT CLASSIC NAMEPLATES BACK WHERE CAN I GET IT???
Awesome video
want name plates to not go off screen ? /script SetCVar("nameplateOtherBottomInset", 0.1);SetCVar("nameplateOtherTopInset", 0.08) here you go :)
Plater is definitely the best (once you get it setup)... highly recommend!
1:20 which is this?!?!?!?!
Tidyplates!
This is QUALITY!
Fantastic content
Your 0.5*Pi curve for 'customization curve' made no sense without defining the axis.... no sense at all. Otherwise very good and informative video.
I tried 3 of 6 , end up using Threat Plates thanks to Bajheera guides
Threat Plates is great
Very nice, glad you got it set up and working!
Plater hands down
This mf really did a 1 dimensional curve at 08:00.....
I like Threat Plates for bc classic.
Same here, I really like Plater for M+ in Retail but Threat Plates for TBC
Are you scoring 1-10, or 6-10?
Did you purposely spells “facts” with the first letters of your scoring system?
@@GL00MYALPACA Sure did, nice catch!!!
Subscribed.
Lol, using a curve to show customizabilty makes no sense when you are only tracking one factor. Even when tracking two different factors to see correlation, it still makes no sense since you are comparing different addons.
A bar chart would make sense instead.
Thanks
best ui pls
Thanks for the suggestion!
that curve doesnt make sense
well donre
