Healing addons, do you use them if so, why?

I always run into people using things like healbot ect… I’ve never understood it?

I use ELVUI and the standard DBM, GTFO and skada. I’ve never used a healing addon and wanted to know why people use them.

In my eyes (from what I’ve seen) it basically heals for you and all you have to do is press one button?

Do people genuinely find it hard to heal without these addons?

Thanks

The only addon that probably falls into that category is Clique (but I use it in dps specs, too). Everything else is standard stuff: ElvUI, GTFO, DBM, etc.

I had used Vuhdo in the past, but ElvUI + Clique work better for me.

people are bad no surprise lmao

Far from a decent standard though.
At high levels healbot is godsend and has been around since TBC .
Alot of players in top 100 use it and it doesnt heal for you.
I suggest you actually use it before passing such an inane comment and an insult to the authors .

Is very helpful and should be standard for any healer imho.

You are of no standard to judge others especially when players in top 100 use said addon.

I heal perfectly fine without an addon, I also wasn’t insulting anyone. I clearly stated (from what I’ve seen).

I’m my eyes from what I’ve seen if makes a task which should be a challenge a hell of a lot easier.

I’ve never used it nor want to.

I use clique, it doesnt heal for me, its just the same as mouse over macros, just easier for me to set up i guess :woman_shrugging:

A friend of mine uses an addon, I’ll explain as I don’t know the name.

There is a 5 man squad, and all the healing spells are next to the people’s names, you just have to click the spell you want to use and it’ll heal the person on the row you click.

yes my healing is indeed not in top 500 xdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdxddxdxd

You have some sort of hard on for top 100?

Ever dawned of you that they are top 100 due to the help of an addon?

Not possiable concidering im female but you seem intent on trying to belittle players of a higher standard of you without even trying the addons yourself .

I use Grid 2, configured to show me which target has which of my HoTs, and which has a debuff I can cleanse. This information might well all be in Blizzard raid frames, but mine are far more compact and less ugly.

I place a number of weakauras around the frame to track my cooldowns, so’s I don’t have to constantly hunt for those few things amongst my entire action bar at the bottom of the screen. Most of the time I can tell what’s available from peripheral vision when I’m focussed on my whack-a-mole frame.

Lastly, I have mouseover macros such that if I am hovering a player, the heal goes there, if not then it goes to my target, if not, it goes to me. This saves many additional clicks and the delays inherent therein.

Can I heal without this setup? Yes. Is it as efficient? No. Knowing where my rejuvenating mist has bounced to or when my druid has 1 vs 2 stacks of rejuvenation on a player is relevant info that help optimise my game and not heal targets that don’t need it.

Well, you use Elvui, thats an addon also, right?
Im using healbot for years, also on dps characters. Healbot is not only for healing, but also for dispelling, both defensive and offensive and for buffing.
I can never forget to put up buffs on group, seeing expiring buffs, it shows who is in range, it shows my short duration buffs which every spec has.

What are you even on girl ?

I’m not belittling anyone for god sake… me not using an addon is offensive to you? Get real

come back and speak to Daestra when you are top 100

The way you speak to me is offensive yes and you are mocking an addon you havent even used i find that insulting to top players and the authors.

Fair enough, I mean if you like it then why not.

I’m not having a go at people using addons. Though… I’m asking why they use the ones I asked.

Elvui is a UI toggle it doesn’t offer any advantage.

We all know you like to think your good and post on multi alts and try hard but you dont have the correct attitude to be part of a guild like that.

I used healbot back in BC and wrath, its just binding spells to my mouse and then heal whoever frame i click and with the spell i have binded to that mousebutton. I still did the work of healing all by myself.
