Description
HEAL SPY
This is a real-time healer activity monitor including spells, healing target, and trinkets for WoW Classic ERA (Vanilla). It is highly configurable with rich information including class cooldowns, multiple renew targets, power word shield spam, and grief detection (renew overwriting, cross-renewing, and prayer sniping). Heal Spy does NOT rely on HealComm. It reads everything from native game APIs. Nobody else in your raid needs to run it — or any other addon — for it to work. Nothing is broadcast to chat or to other players; everything it shows is local to you. This is possible due to the recently updated API for 1.15.9
HOW HEAL SPY IS ORGANIZED
1. Central Widget
- Each healer gets a dedicated row showing what they're casting and on whom in real time, including macro and mouseover heals (doesn't rely on current player target)
- Idle, drinking, dead, and offline states at a glance
- Optional information: previous cast and target
- Optional information: trinket activations
- Optional information: major cooldowns: (e.g. Innervate, Power Infusion, Blessing of Protection)
- Sort alphabetically, by class, or drag it into a Manual ordering. Manual ordering provides potentially raid-saving real-time insights at a glance if you group healers by assignment - for example side on Twin Emperors or tank assignment on Patchwerk.
2. Spell Tracker Tool
- Every active Renew in the raid as a draining time bar, with caster, target
- Optionally shows heal-per-tick value
- Optionally tracks Power Word: Shield, lower-rank Renews, and the T2 8/8 Greater Heal HoT.
- Optionally shows any trinkets popped directly
3. Alert Widget Tool
- Overwrite-Renew detection: a priest overwrites another priest's Renew
- Cross-Renew detection: a priest Renews into a group that has its own priest
- Prayer Snipe: a direct heal lands while a Prayer of Healing is pending
- Scrolling feed plus a persistent reviewable log.
4. Naxxramas Options
- Loatheb Helper: per-healer READY / cooldown / ABSENT bars driven by the Corrupted Mind debuffs, so you can see your healing rotation at a glance. This is not its own widget; it changes the central Heal Spy widget during the Loatheb encounter and while players have the debuff, then reverts to normal.
HOW TO GET STARTED
Click on the minimap button (it is a spyglass) with left-click or right-click to show or hide the main widget and spell tracker. Type /hspy test to run a simulated raid scenario. To open the options shift-click this button. Heal Spy ships deliberately minimal with only names and cast bars and a bare-bones Spell Tracker. Most features are off by default and one click away in the options, so you add only what you actually want on screen. Opacity, colors, and layout are all adjustable, and the Spell Tracker can dock to the Healer Status frame so the two move as one.
