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!!!

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?

Hey There...

So i'm not starting the Grid/healbot discussion again, i just want to tell u my experience with them.

I installed grid at the start of my wow carriere... hmm the first thing i wanted to do was click&heal... okay.. read in the Internet, installed clique... but somehow, just whatever i did, i've never got it working...

u probably won't believe it, i healed till i reached lv 78 WITHOUT any addon^^ (quite good, surprisingly...^^)


then, a friend of mine rerolled to his shaman again, (wanted to play heal) and got me the link for healbot...

i've loaded/unzipped it, started wow, and OH WONDER! it worked^^

I just had to configure the bars, and which click i want to cast which spell...

I've got a Logitec G5... My Configuration:

Left Click: Healing Touch (never used^^)
Mouse Wheel Click: Regrowth
Right Click: Rejuvenation
Key 4 (forward): Swiftmend
Key 5 (backwards): Lifebloom

Shift-Key5 : Nourish
Shift-Right Click: Wild Growth

Control-Left Click: Decurse
Alt-Left Click: Remove Poison
Shift-Alt-Right-Click: Abolish Poison

Nature Swiftness is a spell, which i didn't have configured on healbot, cause it's not target-applied, and i don't want to click it accidentially..

I dunno, some Posters before me wrote, they didn't have such big fingers to hit Ctrl and Alt usw...
I believe they play with the Arrow-Keys^^

I'm playing with WASD and never got problems with walking / moving and casting my heals (even with Ctrl+Alt+shift usw....)


I'm sorry for not linking a Screenshot, but i'm on work, and can't get online just atm... but i will link one, just after hitting home 2night..

Usually i'm first or second on healing meters... (atm not, just cause i did a skilling mistake at 3.1.1, and didn't have time to respecc^^)

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.

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.

As a healer, what we look out for is missing health. Inverted bars prominently show missing health, while normal colors show current health more than what's missing.

I use Grid with mouse over macros.

I don`t use the standard *little boxes* to show my hots, I have changed it so it is text based, they count down in numbers.

I usually target the boss but in this screenie I have targeted myself to avoid the Wild Growth *out of range* bug.

because that's the default and 99% of the ppl don't know how to change it

I'm pretty sure that's the work of bigwigs. Take a look under "plugins" in the waterfall GUI. Mine is not set to track rebirths, but I know there are more options i didn't check, maybe it's there.
