Yes, all NamePlate# frames are protected unit frames. I'm pretty sure, however, that the NamePlate#UnitFrame frames aren't protected. They're not clickable and are just there to show information....

That works for bosses once the encounter has started, but not before.

I'm trying to make unit frames that show bosses differently than elites or higher-level mobs. Maybe I could make a big table...

Yes, it does. Was hoping there was something else.

Edit: It also returns elite for instance bosses.

How to detect if mob is boss

What's the best way to tell if a unit is a boss? If you mouseover a friendly faction boss, for example, the tooltip will read "Level ?? (Boss)". I'm having trouble tracking down where that text is...

Forgive me if this is covered before, but UnitAura() seems to have a new argument related to nameplates:

I can confirm this isn't so. The default nameplate UI will show a few kinds of debuffs from other players. Just go look at the Orgrimmar training dummies on beta.

Nameplate unitIDs work just fine for everything I've tried. But I did notice that while UNIT_HEALTH_FREQUENT gets called for all the nameplates, UNIT_HEALTH only works after you've targeted them once.

I've always thought it's better to have the right information. "Fuckloads more of it" is often just UI spam. Minimal UIs can be really useful in raids if they maximize the attention you can give to...

Zombie buff icons on nameplates

In the Blizzard_NamePlates UI, recently seen buffs/debuffs are sometimes showing up on units that don't actually have them. To reproduce this, I've been turning both friendly and enemy nameplates on,...
