Addon out there that shows debuffs on enemy target?

Sure, almost all nameplate addons do.

Tidy Plates, Threatplates, Plater, kuinameplates, …

How about seeing combo points on the bars to?

Yea most of those same ones can do that too.

I use Threat Plates myself, which has it listed under Widgets>Combopoints.
Threat Plates is based on a clone of Tidy Plates, so i suspect that one has it aswell and in a similar place.

Can’t speak for the others (not from personal experience anyway), but i suspect most do.

Hey bud, installed today but I haven’t got a clue what to do, is there an upto date tutorial for this addon? At the moment the bars are either tiny or massive, doesn’t show multiple target hits just the target I’m hitting, also will only show the bars if I target something :confused: I could do with a tutorial if there is one

Yea, they are all very customizable, which can be great but it does mean they have lots of different settings to evaluate.

I don’t know which of the addons you went for, but i’m afraid i don’t really know of any good/recent tutorials for any of them, because i’ve been using threatplates for many years and have kinda grown used to it.

One of the first results that i get when searching is :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZDCNWOmvQ0
that looks like a pretty good video to start with, he evaluates multiple of these addons and kinda goes through the basics for them.

This one looks decent as well:

One little thing i could add (i’m sure the videos might mention it as well, but it can’t hurt): Unlike most other addons (that aren’t related to nameplates), the original blizzard nameplate system basically always stays active and just gets “spiced up” with a different look and more features; it does not get replaced.

A side-effect of this is, that the original blizzard nameplate settings (as well as keybindings such as CTRL-V and such) will still apply. In addition to those, these addons then provide a bunch of new (often more specific) settings on top.

Hey bud, thank you, i went for threat plates, I watched the videos but didn’t really go into to much depth, and the second I guess is the older version?

can an you change the colour of the combo points? I’m playing pally but would like them to be red not yellow.

can you set it to target only, plates look so messy in BGs and Dungeons, would like it so it only shows the person/mob I’m targeting

I’ll just have to try work it out lol, if not I’ll just go back to the original cheers for help though!

Yea this is under:
Widgets tab > Combo points in the left list → Coloring section

Yea, this is i believe the very first setting it lists:
General tab > Visiblity in the left list > disable Always Show Nameplates, as the alternative to always showing them is only showing them when targetted.
