Does anyone know how to make nameplates stop moving so much? I don’t know if there’s some addon or something but I’m interested in a solution. Also, if I can space out the nameplates more so I can see each one in big pulls including full buffs on top/bottom, I am currently using Qazii’s awesome Plater profile. It has been hard for me to see who I am interrupting and when I mouseover the mob to interrupt them, they nameplate sometimes move and I interrupt nothing. Also if possible I’d really like enemy nameplates to stay still during the many knock up spells people have in M+. Thank you, love, Elmyouu
Also what interrupt tracker works in 2025? My details one seems broken
It’s all dynamic based on your camera’s position + rotation relative to the mobs and your character. The only trying for it is to ask the tank not to have happy feet.
On the subject of interrupt trackers, I use the quazii one for that, too, maybe you need to update the weak aura? He releases updates super frequently, so maybe it’s just time to reinstall.

One thing which highly exacerbates the nameplate movement issue is utilizing friendly nameplates. If using Plater especially, the setup where you have friendly names visible only without their health bars will still cause hiccups. This is because Blizzard’s stacking nameplates behavior takes into account all active nameplates, not just enemy nameplates, and so if you leave friendlies enabled then melee and tank movement around a pack will constantly cause the enemy names to shift wildly. And really, even if the melee players stay perfectly still, there is still an odd behavior where the enemy nameplates will continually rise and fall on the screen.
The solution if it’s too much is to not run dungeons with friendly nameplates enabled.

Look at the mobs from the top down rather than straight in front
The only real way would be to change nameplates to overlapped vice stacking but I wouldn’t recommend that. Some mitigators are standing more still if you can, looking top down vice at an angle, and turning friendly nameplates off if you’re a dps or tank. If interrupting is your concern though an alternative would be focus macros for interrupts. Quaziis plater profile changes the plate color of the mobs you need to interrupt so just focus one and have a focus interrupt macro to guarantee it goes off on your target.
