Heal Buddy is meant to be the ultimate healing assist addon. In groups, looking for certain players to heal can get to be quite cumbersome. That's where heal buddy comes in, it will literally point you to your low health members, and if they are getting dangerously low it will even mark them.
/hb brings up the options window.
/hbtarget will target the lowest health ally (this is macroable and automatically done with the 'create macro' button)
/hbfocus allows you to put a focus marker on your targeted groupmate to better distinguish their arrow (Like a Main Tank) - use slash command again on same target to remove it.
- Sliders to adjust how your arrows and marker display including set range
- Auto Create Macro button that will target lowest health ally which you can then use and bind to any key you like. This is found in options, alternatively you can manually create a macro...the slash command is /hbtarget
I would love an update to this addon :)
Any chance of this amazing addon getting updated or any alternatives?
Looks like this may be a good replacement: http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220034-healie

I'm getting the same error.
Is there a way to disable to arrows? I really just want this addon to allow me to target the lowest health player, and maybe give me an alert when someone gets below a certain threshold, but I don't want the arrows consistently. I have tried sliding them all to just zero, but won't they show up when someone dies? I know about Healie, and used to use it, but have gotten tired of having to set it up each time I log in.
Sliding them to 0 should disable them, lines and arrows don't show up for dead people. If you're claiming that to be the case then there might be a bug? I was going to suggest healie as heal buddy is a lot of needless overhead for such a simple feature.
Healie was updated in July to save User Variables between reload's. It's also been updated with more dynamic targeting features.
can you add the ability to make thicker lines?
Any chance you could add a line to your disarmed weapon? Maybe something in bright neon green? =)
We could REALLY use a scale button, for those of us who would like bigger arrows or thicker lines.
Overall this addon is amazing. Just sayin.
I agree, I would love to see bigger arrows, or the ability to change them!
Godlike update! Those lines rock!!!
Glad you like them, some of my guildies are asking me to make them a tad bit wider though. I'm thinking of bumping it a pixel or 2. My concern is in 20 or 40 man raids if they are too wide it could really clutter up the screen.
I like the lines too. The arrows were too small for me and got lost with everything else on the screen
Would it be possible to implement a 'gradient' arrow that starts green and lowers to yellow then red as people get lower instead of HP% thresholds?
Honestly though I reall would like to be able to make the arrows a little bit bigger or even better make them lines to the person. Still this is definately one of the best tools for a healer around.
Got the lines drawn option instead of arrows now. Giving people the choice.
You break this addon with your first update since release. Now I have to reload the UI after every groupchange (every warzone)
Yeah I had it disable the addon when you left the group and stupidly forgot to set the flag that lets the addon know to re-enable it when joining another group. I hope you accept my most sincerest apology and hope you can forgive me, as a token I have bumped the scalable range up to 150m.
