Removing totem/pet healthbars

[David]

I`m currently running my melee team and I have the wow healthbars above that targets turned on. Easyer to select the right targets for me and I know which one to attack and which players I can just mooow down with Divine Storm while running past them

I`m wondering however if it would be possible to remove the healthbars on pets and totems, those just mess things up for me.

I think there are two ways of viewing it.

Hit 'V' and you will see enemy bars.

Hit 'Shift+V' and you will see friendly/group bars. I think it is 'Shift +V' or 'Alt+V', one of those.

However, if you are looking to remove the bars on enemy totems and pets, I do not think there is a way. I agree though, it does make it a bit hard sometimes to click around the enemy pets and totems; especially when they are moving around a bit.

I thought there was a mention of Blizz revamping the nameplates, perhaps in the upcoming patch, perhaps not until Cata. I'll see if I can find it.

middle of the page, here

Unit Nameplates

• The range at which players can see unit nameplates has been increased by 40 yards.
• Unit nameplates are now subject to line-of-sight limitations in certain situations (this does not pertain to objects like Arena pillars or bridges).
• Players can now adjust select unit nameplate display settings listed below under Interface Options via the Names tab.
  
• Friendly/ene​my pet nameplates can be toggled.
• Enemy totem nameplates can be toggled (friendly totem nameplates are never displayed).
• Players can choose whether or not unit nameplates overlap.
  
• Unit nameplates for critters are never displayed

.

Alternately, you can try Aloft. I know you can configure it to show All name plates, friendly, enemy. I know you include or exclude critters in the nameplate function, and I'm *pretty* sure you can include or exclude totems, pets and companions. If I recall, it was kind of heavy on the resources, and took a while to configure, but if you're not concerned about that, it's a really nice addon.

This post mentions an addon called 'Overhead', but no idea about whether it is a current addon or what..

It might be a plug in for the Tidy Plates addon (which itself has changed since the linked post was made), sorry, I have no clue after that! Only that I keep meaning to go back and make something similar work myself, when I can be bothered.

Khatovar's info sounds nice!
Except the critters. How else can I kill those pesky Prairie Dogs?

lol, you critter killer! You're supposed to /love them!

You can scale the critters on and off by level or health. Like you can set it to show level 5 critters, but hide level 1 critters, or show only critters with health over a certain number. That way you didn't have to see nameplates for every cockroach in Plaguelands, but could still see them for the turkey spawns in Howling Fjord.
