About this addon

What it does

BIG 12.0.7 UPDATE! Fixed all bugs and added Frame Sort support!

Replaces enemy arena nameplate names with Arena ID + spec shorthand.

Arena 123 Names turns enemy arena nameplates into a simple, readable format like:

1 Assa
2 Ret
3 MW

So you always have Arena1/2/3 visible at a glance. Great for fast target swaps, cleaner comms, and way less “who the hell is that?” moments.

  • Replaces enemy nameplate names in Arena with Arena ID (1–3)
  • ✅ Adds spec shorthand (Assa, Ret, Disc, WW, etc.)
  • ✅ Updates automatically as soon as specs become available (prep + opponent updates)
  • ✅ Works with default Blizzard nameplates (no Plater required)
  • ✅ Lightweight, zero setup needed
  • ✅ Supports Blizzard plates, BetterBlizzPlates, Plater and Platynator nameplates
  • ✅ Supports FRAME SORT!
