Hi, I'm looking for an addon that displays the number of combo points on the nameplate of your target, regards

Once again, I don't think that'll be doable in vanilla. One thing eg. the missing GUID without you couldn't differenciate npcs with the same name.

I'm sure it can be done. I mean combo points on your current target not the other units
