HoT Light

Lightweight addon that displays customizable overlays on friendly targets when you apply Healing over Time (HoT) spells like Renew, Rejuvenation, and Regrowth.

🌟 About HoT Light

HoT Light is a lightweight, visual overlay addon for World of Warcraft Classic Era that makes it easier for healers to keep track of their active Healing over Time (HoT) spells on friendly players.

Whenever you cast Renew, Rejuvenation, or Regrowth on a friendly target, a subtle glowing overlay appears below their nameplate to help you see at a glance who is actively being healed.

🎯 Why Use HoT Light?

Keeping track of your HoTs in busy raid or dungeon fights can be stressful.
HoT Light provides a gentle visual cue without adding noisy bars, indicators, or raid frames —
