Macro/addon to warn other player of high threat

Post by Nzall

I frequently tank instances and of course i use a threat meter for that.

but most puggers i am grouping with don't have a threat meter. as such, they sometimes get pretty close on threat.

now what i want to know is: is there a macro i can use to whisper another player they should slow down on DPS and threat a bit? or is there an addon that can do that for me? it might seem a bit ridiculous to do such a thing, but i do not have full epic gear yet, but many DPS does.

i just want to keep pugs smooth.

i dont understand what this is. what does each macro mean?

also, i want to send a /w to the second on aggro, not spam the party/raid chat.
