HealingEstimator D

Updated more often at: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5831-HealingEstimator.html

1.3.1 -- Chart improvements: (1) added a slider for combat mana regen, (2) added tooltips with statistics for each plotted spell. See the new screenshot for example.

OVERVIEW

This addon does four main things.

(1) Displays a floating moveable health bar for your current party/raid target. This new bar indicates the predicted health of the target after a currently-casting healing spell lands. Move this bar with shift-drag, or open the options and drag it (without shift). Use "/healest glue" to make the bar always switch to your current target.

(2) Tracks healing and over-healing statistics. Separates over-healing from critical heals and over-healing from non-crit heals.

(3) Factors in healing talents and bonus healing from gear, to better predict amounts healed. Accounts for down-ranking penalty to bonus healing coefficients. Can display these calculations in spell tooltips. Shaman not yet supported.

(4) Plots efficiency (health-per-mana) against throughput (health-per-second) for all known ranks of healing spells. You can adjust +healing from gear and (for priests) talents to theorycraft and see what ranks are most efficient. Plots update immediately when you change you gear. Access these plots by right-clicking the minimap pie icon. Shaman not yet supported.

THE HEALING BAR

The bar has the following structure, when the heal will under-heal:

[------1--------|---2---|-3-]

1 - green current health of target 2 - yellow amount added by heal 3 - amount left to put target at full health

When the heal will overheal:

[----------1--------|-----2--]--2--|

1 - green health of target 2 - red (or yellow, if overheal is minor) amount of health to be added by heal

OPTIONAL FEATURES

Optional display of percent over- and under-healing.

Optional display of heal-over-time spells (on current target) as icons attached to the health bar. Shows counts of stacked spells. Also shows Fear Ward (on current target) on the health bar. Also shows Blessing of Light.

For priests, druids and paladins, optional display of healing amounts in spell tooltips, after accounting for +healing and talents. Shaman can see the empirical average heal, gathered from their casting, in the tooltips.

Optional display of target portrait on bar.

Right-click minimap icon for charts that compare efficiency (health-per-mana) and throughput (health-per-second) of known ranks of healing spells. Redraws in response to gear changes. Player can adjust amount of bonus healing and healing talents within the chart window, to engage in theorycrafting.

Arbitrary per spell bonus healing option (for librums and other gear affected specific spells): "/healest spellbonus Spell Name-100" will tell HealingEstimator to add 100 extra bonus healing to each cast of "Spell Name". Use "/healest spellbonus Spell Name-0" to clear a bonus of this kind. Active bonuses of this kind will display in the relevant spell tooltips.

KNOWN BUGS/FLAWS

German and French localization incomplete.

ORIGIN

This is a modified version of an original "Healing Estimator" by Zepi. Changes include: optional display of heal-over-time spells and Fear Ward, crit healing statistics, stability of updating bar on screen even when not casting a heal, improved (IMHO) interface design that includes optional portrait, target's health deficit, and optional display of percent predicted over(under)-heal. Update to WoW 2.0 entailed rewrite of targeting system that uses new events.
