GridStatusHealingReduced is a plugin for Grid to provide aggregate statuses for debuffs which reduce or prevent healing received.
After installing the plugin, you will find two new statuses available in Grid: one for debuffs which reduce healing received, and one for debuffs which reduce healing received by 100%. Both indicators have all the options normally associated with Grid statuses.
The following healing reduction debuffs are tracked:
Aimed Shot - hunters, various mobs
Arcing Smash - Gurtogg Bloodboil in Black Temple
Brood Affliction: Green - Chromaggus in Blacking Lair
Curse of the Bleeding Hollow - Bleeding Hollow Necrolyte in Hellfire Peninsula
Curse of the Deadwood - Deadwood furbolgs in Felwood
Dark Touched - Lady Sacrolash in Sunwell Plateau
Dark Volley - Guardian of Yogg-Saron in Ulduar

If you know of any debuffs which reduce the effectiveness of all healing spells, but are not listed above, please see the Bug Reports section below.
Localization
GridStatusHealingReduced is compatible with all locales, current and future, as it does not depend upon translations to function.
However, it's worth mentioning that when more than one different debuff share the same English name, but have different names in your locale, GridStatusHealingReduced will fail to recognize one of them. Every spell and ability in the game has a unique Spell ID number; GridStatusHealingReduced uses this number to get the spell's localized name from your game client, and then uses that localized name to check for the debuff. So while the Wound Poison applied by rogues and the Wound Poison applied by Hex Lord Malacrass are different spells and have different Spell IDs, they have the same name in English, so GridStatusHealingReduced only looks debuffs with the same name as the rogue version. This means that if your locale uses different names for these debuffs, GridStatusHealingReduced will only detect the rogue version. If you encounter this issue, please post a bug report with the locale you're playing in, the English name of the debuff that wasn't recognized, the localized name of the debuff, and the name of the mob that applied it.
The options text is localized for English, German, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese clients. If you are interested in providing translations for these few lines for another locale, please contact me by email or PM.
Submit a Feature Request describing the feature you'd like to see. Please keep in mind that GridStatusHealingReduced has a very specific purpose, and that I am not likely to add any features which are not directly related to that purpose.
Bug Reports
Submit a Bug Report after trying some basic addon troubleshooting steps. Please include all of the information requested on the troubleshooting page, and note that if your report does not include enough information for me to identify the problem, it will be closed.
Please note that the follow debuffs have been intentionally excluded:
Incinerate Flesh: Though this debuff does indeed reduce all healing received by 100%, the general purpose of the Healing Prevented status is to show that you shouldn't spend your time and mana trying to heal someone, whereas you definitely should heal someone with the Incinerate Flesh debuff.
Shadow Embrace: This debuff reduces the effectiveness of only periodic healing, and is the only debuff that does this. If you are a druid and you PvP, you can easily add this single debuff to Grid yourself. Until more debuffs like this are added to the game, I've opted to keep GridStatusHealingReduced limited only to debuffs which affect all healers in a wider variety of situations.

Originally posted by MoonWitch Do you mean this works with Grid and Grid2?
No.
Versions of Grid prior to 1.30000.2009011501 used UnitName to identify units internally; this was why it got confused when a hunter named his pet after a player. Current versions of Grid use UnitGUID to identify units internally, so there is no confusion, since GUIDs are unique.
Grid2 is a completely different addon with completely different code and a different API. Grid2 is also an incomplete and unreleased alpha addon that no normal user should be using, and until it is completed and released, I won't be writing a Grid2 version of this plugin... and when I do, it will be separate, since no user should ever run Grid and Grid2 at the same time.
Originally posted by Phanx It's also updated for the upcoming UnitGUID-based versions of Grid, though for now it's also compatible for the current UnitName-based versions. I do, however, suggest that as soon as the UnitGUID-based versions become available, you update Grid, as I will remove backward compatibility soon thereafter.
3.0.3.15 is now more efficient by looking only for debuffs which can be applied in your current zone (i.e. if you're in Naxxramas, it will look for Necrotic Posion, but it will not look for Curse of the Deadwood). It's also updated for the upcoming UnitGUID-based versions of Grid, though for now it's also compatible for the current UnitName-based versions. I do, however, suggest that as soon as the UnitGUID-based versions become available, you update Grid, as I will remove backward compatibility soon thereafter.
I think I also typed the version name incorrectly as 3.0.2.15 when posting it, but as long as the number at the end is 15, you're fine.
