    I installed the new Healbot last night, and for tonights raid, it was not picking up MT's setup by ORA anymore. We had to set them up in the Bliz UI before they were seperated from the rest of the raid.

    Help?

    Can Healbot work with Quartz to get the LiteStep Skin? I have looked around trying to see how you changed the skins, and haven't been able to change the skins at all, except with the raid/party/AV etc formats.

    Reposting this, any help for this is appreciated.

    I was wondering about the target bar. I could have sworn I was able to use the target bar to do my healing spells as well. However, when I mouse over it the tool tips say the spells are disabled. Anyway to enable the spells or can this not be helped?

    Would it be possible to integrate LibhealCom3.0 into healbot for synchronized heals ?
    Homepage: http://www.wowace.com/wiki/LibHealComm-3.0

    Currently supported by Grid, Pitbull, Visualheal

    Works fine if you just install LibHealCom yourself. You can then see on Healbot incoming heals of other users with LibHealCom, and they can see your heals.

    I could not convince the programmers @ wowace.com - that healbot fully supports libhealcom-3. See the two messages at http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=11059.msg216369#msg216369.

    Thus the link to healbot continued was removed from the list of supporting addons at
    http://www.wowace.com/wiki/LibHealComm-3.0 for the time being.

    But addressing the concerns people mentioned healbot no one will object adding it in the future i guess.

    The so-called programmer there said:

    "I don't think Healbot should be on that list and I wouldn't recommend using it to my worst enemies"

    That marks him out as a bit of an idiot... Healbot is clearly one of the best heal addons around, and that so-called programmer saying that - well, he's a bit misguided, eh?

    I'd also like to see it if HealBot supports LibHealComm-3.0. And with "supports" I mean it really uses the library, and not it simulates the library.

    Right now HealBot only catches some of the heals sent by LibHealComm-3.0 and doesn't send any heals to other LibHealComm-3.0 users.

    I never intended to start a flame war on which addon to use or even worse which is the best.

    But i would be happy if people are able to see other healers incomming heals without being tied down to a single Addon, thus spreading the word of LibHealcomm-3.

    Personally i started out with Healbot. Good user defaults and easy to use (Pre TBC).
    In September i switched to Grid + Clique. For new Healers starting out i will recommend them to have a look at healbot and if it does not meet their needs i can point them to a lot of other resources.

    And as closure the topic was the support of libhealcomm-3 - not which addon is best.

    "lol?"

    Sure. Sort all the addons here by rating, and the only healer addon rated higher than Healbot is Decursive.

    So, don't know why you're laughing - some kind of nervous tic perhaps?

    First i cant click to page 2 on this website to read previous posts. 2nd, How do you take off the annoying thing where as a bars health goes lower it changes color. I want it to stay the same like it has always done. I only want it to change color when their is a curse or poison on it. Now its changing all kinds of colors.

    On one of the setup tabs, set "Alert Level" to 100%. (I think this is covered in the FAQ)

    I've been using HealBot for awhile now.
    But ever since I updated to the 2.4+ one that was juse recently realesed it's been real buggy.

    95% of the time it takes over 1-2 minutes to recognize if someone even joined or left the party. When I login its just a plant background with no bars for at least a minute and a half. The older one I had never did this until i upgraded to this one. Any information on how I could fix this would be great :)

    Thanks.
