> Also, I can’t recommend TidyPlates/ThreatPlates more highly. That addon is amazing for tanks. It makes it laughably easy to tell if you have aggro on things (and what you don’t have aggro on). The only thing I don’t like about it is that sometimes it inexplicably stops working (like, one day I’ll be tanking and it’ll be fine, but the next time I log on, it isn’t enabled anymore and I can’t figure out what’s changing it.) Other than that, though, it’s great.

Sadly, Tidlyplates is acting weird for me lately. Every so often it will randomly scale up the nameplates to 200% or something, which is distracting and covers the screen. This was especially problematic in Ony10, when I was near the offtank and the massive group of whelps. My screen was nothing but whelp nameplates. I can’t figure out why it’s doing that, either. I might have to revert to an earlier version if I can find the proper archive.
