Further benefits of this new implementation include the addition of NPC threat on a mob (eg, Human Kalecgos). However, there are some drawbacks; frequency of updates are much slower, threat details cannot be obtained unless somebody in your party/raid are targetting the mob and it is also not possible to obtain threat from a mob you are not in direct combat with.

|cffffd200How do I get rid of the 2 vertical gray lines down the middle?|r
|

|

Lock your Omen. Locking Omen will prevent it from being moved or resized, as well as prevent the columns from being resized. If you haven't realized it, the 2 vertical gray lines are column resizing handles.

The Blizzard threat API does not return threat data on any mob you are not in direct combat with. We suspect this is an effort on Blizzard's part to save network traffic.

|cffffd200Is there ANY way around this Blizzard limitation? Not being able to see my pet's threat before I attack has set me back to guessing.|r
|
||||
|
||||
There is no way around this limitation short of us doing the guessing for you (which is exactly how Omen2 did it).
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of Omen3 is to provide accurate threat data, we no longer intend to guess for you and in the process lower your FPS. Have some confidence in your pet/tank, or just wait 2 seconds before attacking and use a low damage spell such as Ice Lance so that you can get initial threat readings.
|
||||
|
||||
|cffffd200Can we get AoE mode back?|r
|
||||
|
||||
Again, this is not really possible without guessing threat values. Blizzard's threat API only allows us to query for threat data on units that somebody in the raid is targetting. This means that if there are 20 mobs and only 6 of them are targetted by the raid, there is no way to obtain accurate threat data on the other 14.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also extremely complicated to guess particularly for healing and buffing (threat gets divided by the number of mobs you are in combat with) because mobs that are under crowd control effects (sheep, banish, sap, etc) do not have their threat table modified and addons cannot reliably tell how many mobs you are in combat with. Omen2's guess was almost always wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
|cffffd200The tooltips on unit mouseover shows a threat % that does not match the threat % reported by Omen3. Why?|r
|
||||
|
||||
Blizzard's threat percentage is scaled to between 0% and 100%, so that you will always pull aggro at 100%. Omen reports the raw unscaled values which has pulling aggro percentages at 110% while in melee range and 130% otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
By universal agreement, the primary target of a mob is called the tank and is defined to be at 100% threat.

|cffffd200Does Omen3 sync or parse the combat log?|r

No. Omen3 does not attempt to sync or parse the combat log. Currently there are no intentions to do so.

Omen3 updates the threat values you see as often as Blizzard updates the threat values to us.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, Blizzard updates them about once per second, which is much faster than what Omen2 used to sync updates. In Omen2, you only transmitted your threat to the rest of the raid once every 3 seconds (or 1.5s if you were a tank).
