VitalTarget

A Lord of the Rings Online plugin that displays a morale (health) bar for your current target, with optional time-to-kill (TTK) and raid DPS readouts.

Features

• Morale bar — shows target health as a percentage bar with a numeric label
• Bubble bar — a second bar that appears when the target has temporary morale (e.g. Minstrel bubbles), showing the bubble amount and shrinking the main bar proportionally
• TTK / DPS panel — an optional side column showing estimated time-to-kill (MM:SS) and raid DPS (in thousands) calculated from morale lost since the target was acquired
• Draggable window — enable drag mode from the options panel, reposition anywhere on screen, position saves automatically on mouse-up
• Per-character save — all settings are saved to Character scope with an Account scope backup, so each character can have its own layout

How TTK and DPS are calculated

When you acquire a new target, VitalTarget records the target's current morale and the current game time. On each MoraleChanged event it computes:

TTK  = currentMorale × elapsed / (startMorale − currentMorale)
DPS  = (startMorale − currentMorale) / elapsed / 1000   (displayed as "Xk")

Values are hidden (--) if no morale has been lost yet or if the result is implausibly large (≥ 6000 seconds).
