Looking for a good Aggro meter for Priest

[Melcore]

So the title says it all, Im a priest that is usually running instances and group questing. I want a good Aggro meter for boss fights and big pulls. I currenlty use Pearl Unit Frames and CT mod but can't find any aggro addons for them. I dont use Titan Bars and it seems kind of bloated for just that one feaure. KLHThreatmeter looks good just wondering if anyone uses that or there is another one that I have not found yet.

Thanks in advace

The issue with an aggro meter is that, for it to work properly, everyone has to be using it (or, at the very least, the tank). It records your threat based on the abilities you use; if your Warrior isn't running it, it doesn't know how much threat he's generated.

Unless the Warrior is running it too, the only time you'll know when you're about to pull aggro off him ... is when the mob begins to run right at you.

KLHThreatMeter is the best one I've seen. It used to be a horrible CPU hog, but they've improved it with recent releases. If you're going to try it, make sure you have 17.14 or higher.

Dam the warrior has to be using it too? thats weak, not good for a PUGGING then at all. Probly not worth me using it seems

[Dynatos]

"Weak"? It only makes sense based on game mechanics. How can an addon you're using tell how much threat someone else has generated without that person passing some form of information to the mod?

[Melcore]

Does the combat chat display all the attacks done by party members if so the mod could look at that, although it would be hella slow. If not then I guess you're right the everyone would need the mod.

Eighter way, its not going to help me lead my PUG group to victory so I think I don't think that I'm going to get this untill I get in a raid guild.

As a healer in a raid guild, you won't need it. If you're healing enough to pull aggro, your tank shouldn't be tanking, and the DPS should be shot. If anything, the DPS should be pulling aggro; their goal is to pore as much DPS as they can onto a mob without passing the tank on the threat meter. If a healer pulls aggro off a tanked mob, there are more pressing concernts.

The threat meter is mainly for the tanks and the DPS. If the tanks run it, it lets the DPS see how they're doing generating threat. Instead of intentionally holding back their DPS, they can watch the threat meter and, as long as they're below the tank, pore as much DPS as they can muster onto the mob.

The only fight I can really see it helping a healer is Vael. It'll let you know which tank is up next when the current tank gets hit with BA.

As above, though if you don't know which tank is next on Vael then presumably the tanks don't know either in which case you're about to wipe :P . the order is usually pre-determined by the warrior / raid leader.

As a Priest I've never felt the need for a threat meter. What are you going to do, stop healing because you might get aggro? Then everyone dies, so you have to carry on regardless. You should be healing as much as you need to, your job is not to worry about getting aggro, that's for the DPS and tank(s).

Just learn to play your class and there is no aggro meter needed ...

I beg to differ.

A threat meter lets the DPS class know that they're out-aggroing the Warrior before they pull the mob off the Warrior. A loose mob in a raid can mean a quick death.

I said it once, I'll say it again: L 2 P.
