I use it. I'm a number freak.

Seconded.

I'm a statistics freak.

Most of you might already know this, but did you know that over 2,500 left handed people are killed per year from using products made for right handed people?

Poor me -_-

[thripston]

I'm confused.

Theres a MobHealth bundled with MobInfo2 and Ace have a MobHealth 3.

What am I meant to be using and why do they have Mobhealth and not MobInfo?

[Tando]

It's obvious this add-on has a database for loot values. Is there a way to show the loot value for individual loot tooltips? It would be very valuable when deciding what to throw away when you have a full inventory. Or could this be a separate add-on? Something to add in the future?

[Skeeve]

Hi thripston,

MobInfo already includes full MobHealth functionality and it can interface with many other AddOns to provide them with Mob health data. When you have MobInfo installed you do not need any other MobHealth AddOn. Since MobHealth3 in particular is a very proprietary AddOn you will end up with two almost identical mob health databases if you have both MobInfo and MobHealth installed.

Skeeve

This addon is my favorite as of yet. Singers will praise it forever.

[Kestralfire]

Is there anyway to make the Mob Info stationary? I find it very distracting for it to hover over the actual target.

[Gryphon]

Yes in the MobInfo options

I use this mod religiously, but since the patch yesturday, even after I grabbed an updated version I noticed one small problem that I just can't figure out.

It seems it has stopped counting total "kills", but it does still count the total loots each time you loot.... I don't have every possible option showing so others may not be working yet for me either, but the total Kills for whatever reason just does not work anymore.

I'll assume its just a minor glitch that either only some of us experience or something the next update will fix. Either way this mod still rocks...

Yeah, it sounds like it is using the combat log to count kills and hasn't been fixed to account for the new combat log system.

The critical tracker in one of my personal add-ons is broken for the same reason.

[Xeroxer]

Hey Skeeve,

Would you have an aprox date for an updated version that deals with the currently known issues?

I appreciate all the time you have spent already, just curious aprox how long until we can enjoy your awsome wow contributation fully again!

The main reason I use this addon is to display the mob's actual health in the target frame. Since the removal of Archeologist, this function has stopped working correctly. When the function to display the health in the target frame is enabled, it displays over the existing percentage, and in a font that does not match the rest of the frames... (I think the difference in font is simply a black outline...) .... So, without this text being legible, I feel it may have outlived it's usefulness for me... Are there any plans to get this fixed?

Someone posted a patched version until a real author takes over:

The 3.0 patch now does what I used to rely on MI2 to do ... Seems like this mod has probably reached it's end-of-life...

I didn't even realize that. Very nice. Now we just need a small mod that adds percentages next to the player and target frames like Arch used to do.

That is exactly what I've been wanting since Archaeologist died! (I even held onto a barely functional Arch copy until 3.0.2!) MobInfo2 could easily provide percentages next to unit frames by extending the horizontal displacement past the unit frame. And although Blizzard shows mob health now, I'm still hoping MI2 continues for the tooltip stats, loot stats, etc.

Kharthus, you just inspired me to make a huge, long post about Arch (http://www.cosmosui.org/showthread.php?t=57764). =)

A fan took up the torch for MobInfo 2 at WoWUI... He updated it to version 3.71...

MobInfo2 seems like overkill to do just percentages. I only used it before for mob health and it was overkill for that.
