WoW Addons 3

So, this one will be short, and rather succinct. I know that I gave KTM a lot of credit for what it does, as it was the only one of it's kind when I got ahold of it, however, a new Threat meter has appeared that seems to boast many of the same advantages of KTM, but with multiple mob support, so where KTM was really only good if you were all concentrating on the same target, Omen Threat Meter has the ability to differentiate between mob names (although any two mobs with the same name will be treated just as KTM treated them). Although I have yet to do any real testing with this addon for my own interface, my roommate and I ran some tests while running Omen on his computer and KTM on mine (yes, they communicate with each other and any other addon using Threat 1.0). We had no difficulties communicating, and Omen boasts a great number of additional features, including alerts when reaching within 90% of gaining agro (including your pet), and lots more. So, if you're a long time user of KTM, you may still wish to check this one out, as it will likely become you threat meter of choice.
