BiS>Healing

Click-cast healing cells for any healer, on a client that will not let an addon read what it is drawing.

Drag a spell onto a picture of a mouse. Click a name. That is the addon.

• Tank, healer and damage icons on the cells, in the top right, so a party frame tells you who is holding the thing before you decide where the heal goes. Hidden for anyone with no role set, which is most of a levelling group, and hidden rather than guessed at while the client is hiding the numbers in combat.

• Your binds are kept in a macro, because this client loses saved variables. The Forever beta writes every addon's saved file at logout and hands back nothing at the next start - yours, ours, and everyone else's. Macros live on the server and do come back, so that is where the binds go: one per-character macro called BiSHealing, which you can see and should not rename. It is inert - clicking it casts nothing - and no other macro is ever touched. If your macro list is full it says so rather than failing quietly.

• A mouse you bind by dragging. Left, right, middle, two thumb buttons, wheel up and wheel down, times no modifier, shift, ctrl and alt — twenty-eight places to put a spell. Ranks are kept: dropping rank 4 of a heal binds rank 4, and clicking the little rank number in the corner of a slot walks the ranks you have actually trained. Casting by bare name always throws the biggest one you know, which for a healer is three times the mana to move the same bar.

• Cells in group order. A name, a bar the client fills, and a dimmed cell when someone is out of range of whatever is on your left button.

• A green pip when there is something on them you can cure — the client decides what that means for your class, so it is right for a priest, a paladin and a druid without being told.

• An incoming-heal bar, carrying on from where the health fill ends, so you can see a heal already on its way before you start your own.

• A minimap button with everything behind it, and a small options window with the same things.

What it does not do: rank anyone. Ranking means knowing who is losing health, and on this client health is a secret value — it can be handed to a bar for the client to draw, but never read, compared or printed. An addon that cannot read the fight should not pretend to judge it.

Works on any healer. Tested on a shaman.
