How To Setup Healbot (ver. 4.0 - Winter 2010 - Cataclysm)

[Boomkinbro]

thank you



[uooopaa]

What cooldown addon are you using there? Thanks!

[MiningInCraft]

Whats the spell cooldown addon called ?

[dudechill2]

I love your background music FF13!!

[sn00pysfone]

This was amazing!! Also what was the song used? It sounds like the one off final fantasy... something

[Snanaful]

I messed up my healbot but thanks to you I fixed it !

[njwda]

Hi there bro, there is anyway to show only targets in range? Thank you!

[Gwilldabeast]

Thanks!



[armymathis]

Thanks man, this helps so much.

[ColdeyLive]

thank you so much dude, this guide saved my life lol

[SecretMisery]

holy fucking crap dude! thank you for this :O

[americanmambi]

how can you make healbot look like it is showing on this video, that bright green with clear names???

[jubjub1983]

Thanks Dude appreciate your efforts on the video !

[Darksylumcore]

Is there a way to create profile with heal bot? I have a priest and have a disc spec and holy spec and want to have a profile for each spec. I do not see an option for this tho. if anyone knows how to do this, Please email me darksylum@gmail.com

[IDoItSideWay]

What is that sliding skill bar he has going???

[niguhitzharold]

do u use holy priest or discpline



[hideouss]

Great video. Very informative, and at the same time you make it all seem very accessable to someone like me, just starting out their first priest. Much appreciated.

[HunterBaby2011]

Hey, even for 4.2 this is still by far the best healbot tutorial I have ever seen. Can you please throw up another? maybe prepare one for 4.3 or something.

[Orthodox123456]

Can you set up other buttons, I cant figure this out. For example I like to use the letter F for flash of lights etc. I can get other buttons to bind to a spell.

[Jgregoire]

I have a situation, where I have EVERYTHING setup with how your options are, but im not getting any bars for myself or in party. Could it be a mess up with another addon?

[drfrank319]

Awesome video, thanks!!

[chewbakadude123]

are you making a video for 4.2.2.1?

[MrKajutsa]

Awesome vid.

[Harit1997]

Can anyone help me? Mine isnt coming up even when i hit the cammands for it and it is downloaded. Plz help me!

[rsking923]

The icon part isn't working for me... It NEVER shows any of my hots. For example, I selected 'never' to show my rejuvenation, then pressed 'always' and casted again. It doesn't show the icons.

[jollen123]

@rsking923

Disable Ignore aura events when resting option in the general tab!

[Zeldaaa11]

Thank you, thank you. ^^

[microto]

great tutorial, thank you !

[jnuty85]

TY dude this was a very helpfull had to re-install healbot and didnt remember how to set it up this made it super easy thx bro

[vespirahunt]

very helpfull ty made healing possible for me lol had no idea how to setup

[gefremede]

very helpful video, thank you. even though it's not totally up-to-date, I still have a much better idea how to use the addon

[Spoofudge]

@Spoofudge nvm fixed it

[Quazium]

I d like to have an addon that shows at the right of my screen the life bars of those who are in need of a heal (70% or lower ) + who are in my healing range.

other whise i d not like to see em in my screen. + when they go below 70% I want to see the healing bar over their head .

is there such an addon?

and what is the name of it.

Greetings!

[Nyy002jeter]

Thanks so much man. saves me a shit load of time playing with this amazing yet confusing addon.

[Frankacy]

Thanks a lot man! I just got back into wow and configuring healbot definitely wasn't intuitive. You got me all set up though :D Thanks!

[omfgirl2]

I know this is old, but I really needed a guide. Thanks!

[ugbbe89]

Can you get the bars to change color when people are taking damage? like change to a lighter green or something?

[e2k42]

@ugbbe89 Idk what happens if you change the default bar color, but with the green bar it turns yellow when you take damage, then orange & then red when you're really close to death.

[EpicGamer1337]

Is this song from Final Fantasy 13? Like the music in the background? It sounds familiar but im unsure.

[kidmonsta11]

@EpicGamer1337 haha yea



[LuckyIrish13]

Can you use Healbot without a mouse? I don't play with a mouse and want to use this add on

[Surannhealz]

@LuckyIrish13 in that case you would be better off learning how to make macros and stick them on your action bar so a keyboard or gamepad could activate them. You could still use healbot to visually monitor stuff though. Buffs, debuffs, health, etc.

[geitepung]

umm....sir, do pick up a mouse and make use of it.

[LuckyIrish13]

@geitepung lol im not a sir! and i found a way to not use a mouse =D

[jnuty85]

@LuckyIrish13 i have never heard of someone using heal bot that way i could be wrong but im like 80% sure thats a no

[lanaphill]

yhanks  suranhealz <3 i had great help with this and i like the video is clear and easy to understand

[maxwell223]

@LuckyIrish13 just wonderin but why do you play without a mouse>?

[LuckyIrish13]

@maxwell223 I play on my macbook pro and have been using the trackpad from day one. I have a bluetooth mouse that I have tried using, but cannot get used to it >_< so I go without it!

[alalange]

great music

[thunderw96]

I find "right click opens options" annoying so I uncheck it because I'm a druid and have Rejuvenation set to right click and if I am not paying full attention, I sometimes click the side and open the options. To get to the options with it unchecked, for those who don't know type this command into the chat box: "/hb o"...yeah kinda makes sense for a command lol.

[Orthodox123456]

@thunderw96

I set a macro to /HB O so I just have a button I can push to open the options, beats typing each time.

[Arcanixor]

Thank you so much you are a genius! :)

[Harit1997]

Wait, why does it not have me in the group. it says like main tank, then group, then like pets then target. WTF? help plz

[JacobAndCompany]

BEST GUIDE/REVIEW EVER , thanks! :D

[Stringnocturne]

I liked your video man =) thank you for sharing, regards

[etontrifle]

Excellent video Surannhealz, succinct and to the point. I like the use of the Thief: The Dark Project font, nice touch :)

[aimzing]

Can you change so instead of shift-clicking you use your mousehweel or some other button?

[Surannhealz]

@aimzing not within healbot, but you might be able to find an app that can remap keys. I use a belken n52te which can remap keys.

[aimzing]

@Surannhealz ok, i'll try it out, thanks :)

[iMoNsTer9000]

@aimzing if noone has told u yet. use clique

[maxximmus3]

AND I SET THE MIDDLE BUTTON FOR HOLY SHOCK, BUT WHEN I PRESS THE MIDDLE BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS

[halomagerz]

@maxximmus3 The middle button is a wierd one. my middle is word of glory. sometimes if you dont press it hard enough or direct enough (it rolls a bit when you press it) it wont go off. takes a bit of getting used to. make sure its spelled correct caps and spaces and everything

[maxximmus3]

CAN SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME. I SET UP EVERYTHING WITH HEALBOT, BUT I CANT SEEM TO MOVE MY HEAL BARS AROUND. THERE JUST STUCK IN THE SAME PLACE. AND I DID TOURN OFF THE LOCK POSITION THING. PLZ HELP

[Surannhealz]

@maxximmus3 you have to click on the very outside border.

[maxximmus3]

@Surannhealz ty for helping me, i got it to work now. =)



[McMonk3Yz]

Hey, how did you make everything so compact and small? Mine takes up so much space. And how did you make your cast bar lower so you can actually see it.

Thanks :D

I appreciate your time.

[Surannhealz]

@McMonk3Yz Adjust the height & width of the bars on the Skins > Bars tab. 6:33

[McMonk3Yz]

@Surannhealz Thanks again:D

Oh btw, I don't know to whether to use this addon or the raid bars that come with WoW. I do well with the raid bars but i find it easier with this addon yet i don't do as well.

Which one do you rec commend?

[Surannhealz]

@McMonk3Yz as far as just button pushing they can be equal. However healbot will let you do more advanced things like changing color based on magic/poison/curse. You can also watch for custom debuffs that aren't necessarily dispellable or should not be dispelled. You can watch for helpful buffs (like power word fort or blessing of kings), and you get far more control of the layout. You also don't have to learn macros, but if you do know them they can make healbot even more powerfull.

[Surannhealz]

@Surannhealz that's in response to stock UI healing versus add-on healing.

[CleverOsculator]

this really helped me set it up the way i needed thank you !

[Hoodooswamp]

I just started playing a priest, and this video has helped me a lot. Thank you.

[imdadkrichman1]

dude how come my healbot has like no color to it? its really faded cant figure out how to fix it

[IWoWstuff]

same shit happened to me. I think the things bugged

[MrSNITCHEL]

when is this coming out for 4.2



[jondoetube]

I can't get my bars to show up, even when running test bars nothing comes up on screen. I'm new to healbot so I'm not very familiar with it, but wtf am I doing wrong?

[Surannhealz]

@jondoetube try reseting the position. Sometimes it will be off the screen.

[jondoetube]

@Surannhealz I've dragged the drop box all over the place but still no bars show up. And when I click the toggle to 'hide options button' nothing happens. Should my own bar show up automatically or do I have to click my character portrait first?

[Surannhealz]

@jondoetube it should always be present. There are some options like disable out of combat or when solo.

[jondoetube]

@Surannhealz Sure, but its not. All I can see is a small grey box with a white bar at the bottom. When I click the bar the healbot options menu pops up. I can click and drag the box around, but no bars are ever inside of it.

[jondoetube]

@Surannhealz Sure, but its not. All I get is a small grey box with a white bar at the bottom. I can click and drag the grey box around and when I click the white box the healbot options menu opens, but not bars every show up inside of it.

[claldayas]

@jondoetube No right click on it and click options then make sure healbot is enabled

[TheJohanBjorkman]

Thanks :)

[Pr0jectRAiN]

how do you move healbot around?

[Surannhealz]

@Pr0jectRAiN I believe under general tab make sure you have "Lock Healbot" unchecked and left click on the very outside border of your healbot frame and drag it. The border is pretty small, don't try to grab a health bar accidently.

[McMonk3Yz]

@Surannhealz Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that i think your doing a great job (not that it means anything coming from me) and i wan't to thank you. You really show a lot of effort and time. Especially how your respond to people's question considerately.

Good luck. :D

[Surannhealz]

@FawxNewbz have you tried putting the macro in your action bar and invoking with normal keyboard or mouse click. Just to make sure the macro itself is functional. Also try renaming it something, try with no spaces and double check capital letters.

[MrBoiven]

Hey the only way I can get my group rows horizontal like yours is by disabling the headers. Whenever I turn the headers back on it goes to sorting the groups down vertically. How can i make it that the groups are ordered horizontally while having the headers on at the same time?

[virindi73]

How do you make it so Death Knight's Frost disease won't show up on Healbot? I still want to see when a member on my Healbot has Ice trap, and mage ice feet, but that DK disease shows up and looks the same on my Healbot (blue). Plz help, thx.

[Surannhealz]

@virindi73 healing tab > icons. At the bottom select death knight then whatever spell and select show never. Ya had same issue with them, too many buffs :)

[virindi73]

@Surannhealz Thank you, especially for quick response. This is gonna heal me out a great deal : )

[lulack0]

FF13? music :) i love it.

[MrFoxfu]

thank you!!!!!

[kitshiv]

needed this, thanks a lot for posting... too bad just noticed it now xD

[Reedychannel]

really helpful, thanks.

[ReaperOfDarkness1990]

How do i change my healbot bars to rows instead of colums? What i mean is if i am in a 5-man group , i want them to appear in like a row instead of colums.

[Surannhealz]

@ReaperOfDarkness1990 I looked at the ingame options and honestly I dont know if you can. I swore there used to be an option about something like how many rows you could have, but since I never needed it I don't know for certain. Sorry :(

[TheGtm2008]

@Surannhealz Under the skins tab under options, you can select bars at the top. This will let u set the number of columns u would like to have.

[Mortinium]

@Surannhealz Not too sure, but:

Skins > Use skin: Group > Use Groups per Column = unchecked > No. groups per column: 5

[kalkaline]

@ReaperOfDarkness1990 Skins, bars

[MichaelSterckx24]

Forced to reinstall wow and healboth. Healthbar is always colored bright green now.. No matter what. When i had healbot few weeks ago,the healthbar was grey/transparant when someone had full health,it would only lighted up ,when people lost health or took aggro. When they had full health again ,it was grey/transparant again. Now its green all the time,even if theire full health.

How do i change it back?

[videomaster952]

How do i make it so when im in a 5 man group it makes it so each member is on top of a column and i have 5 columns?

[ReaperOfDarkness1990]

How to move the healbot groups to where you want to place them?

[Surannhealz]

@ReaperOfDarkness1990 make sure under skins tab it isn't set to "lock healbot", then click the very edge and drag it somewhere. Be sure to lock it afterwards!

[ZSkilla]

Thanks!

[Bleoo1]

What is the addon at 4:08 above your action bars???

[Surannhealz]

@Bleoo1 can't see video at the moment, but its probably Watcher. If its the one with spell icons moving along the timeline.

[WoWOfficialVideos]

@huckivic

it works just fine for me, just make sure to spell the name of the spell you adding EXACTLY How it should be spelt.

[Sausageman666]

nvm just /healbot disable

[Surannhealz]

@Sausageman666 also there should be a H icon around your minimap that will open healbot.

[Sausageman666]

I have been using healbot for a while but with the recent patch i dont see the option of disable healbot. How am i supposed to hide it/disable it?

[Sausageman666]

@Sausageman666 

[Surannhealz]

@huckivic your using capital letters and such in the spells tab? It has to be exactly as it is in your spell book.

[zucro]

@Surannhealz just click the question mark then click the spell you want

[Tenthboss]

Whats that bar under the spot where you put your healbot??? 0:55

[msllss]

how do I bring out the bars ?? I cant seems to bring out the bars

[zucro]

Fuck you! (and I mean that in a good way! um....is there a nice way to say that? hmm)

You Rock Bro! Ah, there we go :)

[ToastyCheeser]

What was the addon below Healbot the one that showed when spells were ready to be cast? I really likes that one.

[zucro]

@ToastyCheeser There is tellmewhen and Power Auras. I use both and love them both

[OnikoChan]

I was messing around in Healbot and now when I mouse over a party member I get a window with things such as class information and my key bindings. Is there a way to turn this off?

[Surannhealz]

@OnikoChan try the tab called tips I believe, it should be one of the last ones at the bottom.

[Cro1111]

Nice job man!

You really helped me with setting up my healbot and I see tremendeous improvement in my healing after installing this addon.

Cheers!

:-)

[Twesalby]

Thanks for the video. I'm a new player to WoW, and I couldn't figure out how to configure Healbot. This should help a lot. Perhaps you might consider making a full length video covering all the options that you had to skip, and upload it in parts.

[Surannhealz]

@Twesalby I actually just got a message from YouTube last week saying my account was now eligible to upload up to an hour now ^_^

[flcl92]

is there a way to configure healbot to hide name bars, or at least dim them out, that are out of your spell range? (40 yd) i saw a check box that hides bars that are 100yds away. if both are available and i'm not seeing them i'd prefer a dimming option.

i.e. to reduce the amount of names in large BGs such as av or isle, or know what players you can cast your HoTs on and who is out of range

[Surannhealz]

@flcl92 as far as make the bars disappear when players out of range, no. You can only make faded out (opacity).

[12pimpinez]

@flcl92 you could go to skins->click hide-> and click hide bars that are 100 yards away

[Markyboy28]

great guide tyvm :)

[Rusio201001]

I had to wipe my computer, and my old healbot set up had a 3D look to it. Now its a funky flat green. suggestions on how to get back the 3D...sorry i dont remember

[greefuss]

love all your vids , and your tone easy on the ears and clean clear directions:) thanks for your help

[BivertZ]

what addon is that u got under ur healbot to show CD's??

[Surannhealz]

@BivertZ it is called "watcher"

[BivertZ]

@Surannhealz can u give me a link?? i cant find it s:

[Mg60070]

Great Vid. Helped a lot. I have one question thought. Is there any way to get Healbot to target the person you have clicked on? Thanks :)

[Surannhealz]

@Mg60070 yes I believe its under skin > healing > check target under self/group/raid area. The only catch is that it will not update while in combat...so you can't click on a friendly while in combat and have it update and add the bar...just something to keep in mind.

[Mg60070]

@Surannhealz ahh sorry it didnt do what I was hoping for. Are you familiar with Grid? well you know how you can click on a friendly target and YOU target him? is there a way that you can target the person when clicked AND do the heal on healbot or even Grid? Thanks sorry if im not making sence :(

[b04365]

Hey, im sorting by group, and then max health, but my raid groups appear on top of eachother, how do i make them side by side like in all of your clips? its quite annoying as you can imagine

[oblivionlova23]

Other than sub-sorting it as max health, is their a way to have the tank always second? (The option "self first" is in play here)

Thank you.

[grydah619]

very informative and helpful. appreciate it. thanks!

[oblivionlova23]

Is there any way to put the role symbols on healbot? Ex. the shield for the tank. cross for the healer.. etc. ty

[Surannhealz]

@oblivionlova23 I don't believe so.

[DontMakeMeGetMyMain]

i downloaded healbot but i dont have any drop bars idk y ????

[DeadbeatWoW]

i play a disc priest healer.

i can heal comfortably without healbot and normal UI.

do you think i should get healbot?

will it make it easier for me

[Surannhealz]

@DeadbeatWoW some ppl would say its easier. For me its more about having the extra info. Especially being able to pick and choose which icons you want to see. It's puts a lot necessary info right there for you.

[randomisrandom]

Great help

[Feather919]

Hey dude, i did copy your settings but..when somebody is out of range of my healing, it only disables their bar if they're 100+ yards away from me, not 40. I don't know what's the problem =s

[stefanatutube]

Hi there , i just DL Healbot via Curse Client so i guess it is the newest version (or isnt it?) and i cant select the sorting or subsorting in the tab Skins->Healing->Sort.. I cant open the dropdown menu. why is taht so?

[stefanatutube]

@stefanatutube nvm -.- relogging solved the problem... i really should think and try 1st before i post smth :>

[mxcfactor]

Have you had any errors with healbot once Cata came out? On my druid a error will always pop up regarding to some inspect ui bug thing. Yet on my priest I haven't received this error. I've downloaded the newest versions and even uninstalled then reinstalled yet I'm getting the same results. Any ideas?

[Surannhealz]

@mxcfactor if its not affecting game play you can try going into the interface options (of wow) and turn off KIA errors. Or disable any error catching adders, like swatter, that you may have.

[Surannhealz]

@Surannhealz should say "turn off LUA errors"....phone auto corrected :(

[mxcfactor]

@Surannhealz I just configured heal bot according to your video. The error is now gone! Thanks big time.

[kniglyon]

what addon is that where it has the spell pictures and moves down the bar when the CD is done can u plz reply quickly

[Surannhealz]

@kniglyon add-on is called "Watcher". That quick enough ^_^

[kniglyon]

@Surannhealz lol ty very much

[deadmonkey62]

Hey my options isnt showing anything in any scroll down menu it just doesnt let me scroll down to anything its just blan k for every option

[Surannhealz]

@deadmonkey62 that happened to me when I had a version that was pre-cataclysm. If you didn't already you may try deleting the wow>interface>addons>healbot folder and download from the official healbot website.

[coltsrule5150]

@deadmonkey62 i had that problem to then i downloaded the older version and it fixed it so now i have healbot and healbot advanced

[Zardos66]

FF13 is garbage, stop using music from it, great video otherwise.

[TheDuck1234]

@Zardos66 the music is stil great... LoL i dont care how you feel about the game, but the music is great art.

[asikorra]

This is a great video for people who have some brains to them or have been somewhat sucessfully using healbot for a while and need to learn the whole thing. To really make a person understand, it can take hours for some reason it seems like with this addon u get it or u dont! I cant go w/out it and have taken hours to figure it out as a disc priest. I recommend this addon to any healer who is serious about main spec healin~

[Surannhealz]

@asikorra funny thing is I can't play without it. I even use it on DPS classes.

[OmegaOmotron]

How to set it up so the bars along teh side go group 1-2 etc. atm group 2 is under group 1 instead of too the side

[Surannhealz]

@OmegaOmotron under skins change columns to 1 group per column. Then each group will push out a new column.

[OmegaOmotron]

Is there a way to set it so that if someone is under a posion/magic or something like that, the clicks get overwritten so say normal l clik is flash heal and r clik is heal, is there a way to set it so that if under a poison effect left clik is cure poison and right click is flash heal

[WolfMilf93]

hey mate hows it goin? good vid :) one quick question tho. i used to have healbot set so that my grp was always in the middle and the bars would go left and right to make it even so i didnt have to play with anything when in a grp of 5 or 25. just wondering if u no how to do this because i cant remember how

[Grutch]

I love your video, though I hate the music . Final Fantasy music I think? Yuck.

[tokenblksk8er]

What songs are these? they are amazing

[FretsofDestiny]

@tokenblksk8er I believe most of them are from the soundtrack of Final Fantasy XIII composed by Masashi Hamauzu. The second song is the main menu theme. Other than that, I haven't played enough of the game yet to really know all the songs. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

[kolz4ever1980]

Nice video. I wish I found it back when I first made my healer and got healbot a little while back. I'll favorite this though because it still has a lot of good info that can help me more.

[YOUshp]

Nice video, but you have something that says the cooldown of your spells. where do you get that?
