GiveMeHeals

GiveMeHeals is an addon I created specifically for my Shaman healer once I realised that my beloved Vuhdu was no longer viable and supported once the Midnight pre-patch launched. It has very little functionality compared to what most healing add-ons can do but that's because Blizzard have completely changed how add-ons work for healers so most of them no longer work.

 

What GiveMeHeals does is lets up click commands on the party/raid frame interface so you can just hover over the player you want and use mouse click combinations with keyboard modifiers, just like you used to do with other add-ons that worked with custom frames. 

 

This add-on currently only works with Shaman healers because that's what I play. It shouldn't be too hard to make it multi-class once I've figured out what else has been ripped from the WowAPI in the new patch, so I'll likely do exactly that when I get a bit more time. For now, though, just resto shamans.

 

In use you can just hover over a player and a quick tooltip will appear above their frame so you know what heal clicks you can use. Once you get comfortable, and no longer need a reference panel, then you can click the mini-map button and switch this feature off. Note that you can't put healing rain automatically under any player other than yourself when pressing middle click on a player, so you're still going to get a reticule that you'll need to position before confirming with another left click. No way around that one, I'm afraid.

 

There is no configuration set up for customising the spells as yet but I plan to add it later on. In the meantime you can just edit the GiveMeHeals.lua file temporarilly to modify them to your liking, if you don't like how I've set them up here.

-- Spell Bindings

-------------------------------------------------

local BINDINGS = {

{ mouse = "Left Click", modifier = "", spell = "Riptide" },

{ mouse = "Left Click", modifier = "Shift", spell = "Healing Wave" },

{ mouse = "Left Click", modifier = "Ctrl", spell = "Healing Surge" },

{ mouse = "Left Click", modifier = "Alt", spell = "Chain Heal" },

{ mouse = "Right Click", modifier = "", spell = "Purify Spirit" },

{ mouse = "Right Click", modifier = "Shift", spell = "Earth Shield" },

{ mouse = "Right Click", modifier = "Ctrl", spell = "Unleash Life" },

{ mouse = "Middle Click", modifier = "", spell = "Healing Rain" },

}

 

One more feature you might find handy, if you're planning on maybe moving your party or raid frames elsewhere on the screen. I've added a move/lock button on the configuration panel for the general tooltip. That thing always annoys me how you can't move its position within the edit system that Blizzard has given us for UI modifying, and it could well be in the way if you are shifting things around, so you can press that, use the anchor to move the general tooltip, and then press the button to save the location. 

 

Everything is saved when mofified, such as tooltip and button positions, so once you have it configured you probably won't need to mess with it any more.
