Threat

               ==Introduction==

'''Threat''' is the method the game uses to determine which player or pet in a party or raid gets targetted by a particular enemy.  An enemy will target and attack whomever has generated the most Threat towards that enemy. 

Each enemy has its own threat which is tracked separately, so each enemy can attack a different target depending on the status of their own threat meters.  Aside from movement, almost every action in combat builds up threat against particular monsters (including attacking, healing, and casting buffs or debuffs).  

Live Update #51 added Threat Meters to the game (opened or closed with CTRL + T); under enemies' health and power bars there is now a threat bar showing how much threat you have generated on that target (as a range between 0% and 100%).  If you are the enemy's current target, the Threat Window will also show the percentage threat of the second-highest person on the list. Threat values are also in the Combat Log, making tracking threat easier.  Prior to this update, threat was tracked internally and was not visible to players other than the examination windows of taunts/detaunts.
