*A listed tank hitting the training dummies in Orgrimmar, seen from another character: an orange melee
"Miss", a gold spell "Resist", and the experimental WAIT label under the dummy being attacked.*
## What's new — 0.3.1 · 2026-10-15
- **The line tower no longer overlaps.** Every line reserves its real height, including the crit size pop
and the spell / name line under it, and crits now rise with the rest of the stack, so newer lines can
not run into them.
- **Crits of tiny procs pop smaller** (a crit "3" among Fire Strike ticks is half size), measured against
the source's average hit.
## What's new — 0.3.0 · 2026-10-15
- **Identical hits are merged.** Fire Strike style tick storms become one line with the running sum
(same source, victim, ability and hit/crit within 0.4 s; the number updates in place, words are not
summed). Switch off or tune under Text: *Merge identical hits*, *Merge window*, *Show hit count*.
- **Placement "Nameplate + anchor"** shows every line, and the GO / WAIT label, over the plate and at the
fixed anchor at once, with separate line limits.
- **The Demo previews your own setup**: a 2.5 s burst of your first targetSCT's class skills (Stormstrike,
Earth Shock and friends for a shaman) with all your display settings, plus the GO / WAIT label inside
the anchor box, to judge the line tower without a second character.
- **Fixed: the anchor no longer jumps when you drop it.** The dropped position is now exact, and the
Anchor X / Y sliders cover the whole screen.
## What's new — 0.2.0 · 2026-10-15
- **targetSCT.** What used to be called "tank" is now *targetSCT* everywhere (menu, options, commands
keep working). Each targetSCT can show its **name** next to its numbers (Never / only with several /
always) and gets its **own colour**, picked automatically so they are easy to tell apart.
- **Every hit is shown.** The default limits are 16 lines per mob and 60 on screen, so a burst of about
ten hits per second is no longer recycled.
- **nampower spell events are used on every nampower build**: builds that deliver spell damage and miss
events without the `NP_Enable...` CVars were treated as "no events" and fell back to chat rows.
- **Regrouped options with tooltips on every label**, four tabs: targetSCTs, Text, Colours, Placement.
The window now sits above world nameplates.
- **Experimental GO / WAIT label** over your own elite target: how much threat lead the targetSCT has
over you, from the server's threat data (needs a group; see [GO / WAIT](#go--wait-threat-label-experimental)).
**Version history** — details in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md):
- **0.3.1** (2026-10-15) — fix: the line tower no longer overlaps (real line heights, crits rise with the
stack), crits of tiny procs pop smaller.
- **0.3.0** (2026-10-15) — merged identical hits, "Nameplate + anchor" placement, a demo that plays your own
targetSCT's class burst and previews GO / WAIT, anchor drop fix.
- **0.2.0** (2026-10-15) — targetSCT rename, name option, per-targetSCT colours, regrouped options with
label tooltips, higher line limits, experimental threat-based GO / WAIT.
- **0.1.0** (2026-10-14) — first release: list, victim-routed text in the client's own style, nameplate
placement, heals, options and minimap button.
## What you see
Everything floats over the **victim** of the event, never over the source:
- **Melee in orange, special attacks in gold, heals in green.** Numbers use the client's own damage font,
no outline, a black shadow. Ordinary hits rise and fade; **crits pop** at a larger size and rise with the stack.
- **Words for what did not land**: Miss, Dodge, Parry, Block, Resist, Immune, ... in the same style.
- **Every hit is shown**: up to 16 lines per mob and 60 on screen by default, so a fast burst is not
recycled early (both are sliders on the Text tab).
- **Identical hits are merged**: the same attack from the same source on the same mob within 0.4 s shows
as one line with the summed value (tiny procs like Fire Strike no longer flood the tower; Text tab).
- Pets and totems of a listed unit are shown under their owner; Fire Nova, traps and other area damage
land on the mob they hit.
*A crit "366" popping over the Heroic Training Dummy, a "Block" in grey, and a GO label partly covered by
the crit.*
 WAIT at the anchor — the Demo's shaman burst, no overlaps: a faded 783 Stormstrike on top, Dodge, 97, a merged 7 Fire Strike, Parry, Block, 100 Ancient Accord, a half-size crit 3 Fire Strike, and "WAIT 1350 / 1500" inside the anchor box |
 GO at the anchor — later in the burst: a fading Ancient Accord, 3 Fire Strike, Resist, 7 Fire Strike, a big crit 216, 194, a crit 760 Earth Shock, and "GO +1875" inside the box |
 WAIT — "WAIT 1211 / 1500": the buffer is still below the required 1500, a "Dodge" floats above |
 GO — "GO +3225": the lead is large enough, opening is safe |

| Reset anchor | back to screen centre, 120 px up | |
| Demo | starts at once with a 2.5 s burst of your first targetSCT's class skills (a shaman demo tank without one) on one victim, using all your display settings (Stormstrike, Earth Shock, tiny Fire Strike ticks, melee, crits, extra attacks, and every result type: crit, miss, dodge, parry, block, resist) that fills the per-mob line tower, plus a simulated GO / WAIT threat label (works with Threat GO off); at your target's plate (anchor without a target); click again to restart | |
