You need a better text editor - most likely one that is aimed at programmers.

Its abit of a learning curve, but I'm very happy with VIM for editing on the windows platform (I mostly edit rather large files - splitting wow combat logs for instance), but I do suspect that its something that I've kept for its familiarity - and that there is way better tools available on the market

Am I the only one who don't get anything on grid to work. It shows threat on ppl who don't have threat and it never shows any hots or debuffs. I only used grid to keep track of my hots, but now it doesnt show anything.

Note: I'm answering this poster specifically, but this answer should help out other people, as I had this problem when logging in to 3.1 too (at least with the threat part, HOT timers and debuff notifications still worked fine for me).

Use the alpha version from wowace. Go to the grid page and select "files". In there you will find the latest "alpha" build (which as of now is R1174). Usually it is not recommended to run an alpha version because it is generally a less tested version than the current stable release (named "release" on wowace). However, since we are currently only 2 days into a large content patch the "release" version is not completely functional. Note, also, that using an alpha version incurs a certain amount of risk, so use it at your own risk and try to be diligent to report bugs that you find.

I too was getting by on Notepad. A quick google search and I found the freeware "EmEditor" (EmEditor text editor - Unicode text editor for Windows supporting large files!) To enable the display of line numbers, hit Alt-Enter and check the Line Number box.

Notepad: Cntl-G opens the 'Goto Line:' command, or Edit -> Goto.

1177 is out and on Curse, as of an hour ago. I'm not home, so I can't try it out, but it says the aggro issue is fixed.

Grid - Addons - Curse

Has a lua fix for how to not show other druids hots on your grid.

works perfectly. thanks

Anyone else having total issues with hotstatus now with the new version of grid (as of 5:45 pm EST)? As in i dont even get the configuration options for it anymore.

Grid/Gridstatushots/Clique

Everything else is 2ndary for healing UI improvements.

Im still using the same grid version that I was using before the patch, all I needed to do was do the fix from tree bark jacket and it's sorted

What was the similar fix for gridstatuslifebloom? I tried finding one myself, and could not get it to work.


NM- Looks like theres a new update to grid status hots on the wowace page(I dont think Curse has this version). If you make the changes mentioned above to it it should work.

I highly suggest pitbull 4 and pitbull4_AuraBar for any druids that want the look of sraidframes or pitbull 3 with the functionality of grid. I like pitbull 4 because it allows me to configure the viewing of buffs and debuffs with precise detail, both in the manipulation/filtering as well as information regarding it. AuraBar is a version 2 of lifebloombar for pitbull of sorts. However, this time around, it can provide a bar that counts down the duration of any aura. I use it soley for lifebloom, but one can add rejuvenation, regrowth, anything. I highly suggest picking up these two addons, I'll post a screenshot of my setup in a raid as soon as I can.

I was wonder where I can find the addon on Grid which will allow me to see the numbers(not squares) of my hots on Grid!!!

GridStatusHots with GridIndicatorCornerText does this quite nicely.

Has GridIndicatorCornerText ever worked with GridStatusDruidHots? I would love to try out numbers instead of boxes but I much prefer how DruidHots works over StatusHots. I assumed it wasn't working because CornerText hasn't been updated in a while according to curse, but am I just outta luck?

I tried it some time before 3.1, and it didn't work for me. But then, my GridStatusDruidHots stopped working with 3.1, too. Last time I checked there was no update, but maybe it's fixed now.

An awesome guildie of mine fixed it for me because I was bereft without it. Let me know if you want me to post the fix or something until the official version is updated?

Damn, guess that means I might need to run both or see if I can haxxor it to work with GridStatusDruidHots.

To reiterate what so many have posted before, Grid/Clique work amazingly well for resto druid healing. One thing I might add is that your mileage may vary depending on your mouse and keyboard. When I started using Grid/Clique I had a simple 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel. Needless so say, binding so many healing spells (and at that time different ranks of the same spell) was cumbersome at best. I had so modifier combinations it caused more headache than anything else, and misclicks were commonplace.

On the advice of a friend, I bought an actual gaming mouse (Logitech G5) which made Grid/Clique simple and far more effective. In a few bindings I was able to convert massive amount of clutter into a fairly straightforward raid healing setup.

I took what was inordinately complicated and was able to bind my main spells as follows:

Left Button: Lifebloom
Right Button: Rejuv
Shift L Button: Regrowth
Shift R Button: Swiftmend

Ctrl L: Healing Touch
Ctrl R: Nourish

Side Button: Decurse
Side Button 2: Depoison

Ctrl Side Button: Wild Growth
Ctrl Side Button 2: Natures Swiftness

(A quick combination of CTRL Side btn2 + Left button = Nature's Swiftness + Healing Touch)
Tapping the mouse wheel to the right puts me in or out Tree Form.


This is just the basic layout. I have a lot of other abilities bound, but by far the biggest improvement I can suggest to anyone exploring Grid (and especially Clique) is to upgrade your mouse.

With the release of Ulduar, being able to react quickly and move/heal/stay alive is once again important in a raid environment. With inefficient bindings and jumbled keyboard layouts these become difficult to do simultaneously. I don't mean to stray from the topic of this thread by waxing rhapsodic over my mouse - but second to mastering grid, it was the single biggest improvement to my healing I have made to date.

Old UI:


New widescreen UI:


I changed a bunch of mods over. Pet frame is above my player frame (which has auras turned off) but I have no easy access to pets on my druid so, can't see them. Unitframes are Pitbull4, this is kinda beta but seems stable, is way easier to configure than Pitbull3 and can do funkeh stuff with debuffs applied by yourself. This will be uber when I DPS.

New auras are courtesy Satrina Buff Frames, I have two groups set up. One quite small at the top edge for timeless auras, the bigger ones for more interesting stuff. I plan to set up filters to move longterm buffs up when I can be bothered.

Eavesdrop combat log frame, not 100% sure I'll keep it on Elly. Nicer for DPS/Tank imho. Grid had to shove over a bit to make space so it's sort of in the middle-left now, but I don't wanna be looking too far away from the fire I'm standing in anyway.

I have a big ol' NeedToKnow frame under my ToT and ToToT frames (which are under my target). That has mangle etc in it, or frost fever or whatever.

Map is SexyMap, seems a bit unreliable on button hiding and profiles :P
Still beats the crap out of Squeenix.

Thing under my mouse is OPie, push a key for a radial menu. Awesome for like, Teleport: Moonglade. I might replace my numpad actionbar with it... maybe.


Mousebindings:
R: RG
Wheel click: WG
WU: LB
WD: RJ
WL: SM
WR: NSHT
B4: Nourish
Alt-L: decurse
AR: cure poison
AB4: abolish poison

I use Clique for most of them, mouseover macros for the wheel binds. Tranquility is on key 4, water on num0 for ninja-drinking.
I want to put a WG+RJ castsequence macro on B5 but for some reason it doesn't work. Need to try Clique.
My mouse is a Logitech MX620. It's not top of the range, intentionally. Unlike the SteelSeries I bought, it has WL+WR and the software lets me bind buttons to modifier keys.

Grid:
Top: My RG / others' RGs (darker)
Left: My RJ / others'
Right: WG
Top-left: PW:S / Renew
Top-right: debuffs
Center 2: LB timer
Center icon: the deadliest debuffs

I prefer not to use the lower/right dots because when the mouse is over a square, you can't necessarily see them.
Note I've changed my Grid setup slightly since the old UI shot was taken.

I'd love to see your screenshots with Pitbull4... the AuraBar sounds neat, Lifebloomer is very out of date.

Just wanted to showoff my grid in the heat of the battle. I see alot of people use inverted colors, why? :d
