== Threat Detection ==
ThreatPlates uses a three-tier threat detection system:
- UnitDetailedThreatSituation (Turtle WoW extension) - most accurate
- GetThreatPercent API (if available) - precise percentage
- UnitThreatSituation with heuristics - fallback estimation
*The addon polls threat every 0.2 seconds and updates nameplate *visuals every 0.3 seconds for smooth animation.
