Druid HOTs/Healing on 25-man Raid Frames

coltoasty · 05-11-09, 05:36 PM

Hi guys,

I have the latest nUI+ Dev Release 5.03.02 installed, and have tested this with no other addons installed.

I recently hit 80 with my druid alt and have been learning to heal as Resto.

In 5-mans, I can see my HOTs ticking and I can mouseover to see the time remaining, and they blink correctly when they are about to fall off.

In 10-man raids, this is also true most of the time and works fine.

In 25-man raids, I never see any of my buffs or HOTs show up on the repective players' raid frame.

I tried to search to see if there was already a solution or thread going about this, I couldn't find any so I guess my question is, are HOTs and Buffs from the player supposed to show up on the raid frames, and if so, any ideas what could be causing it not to show? As you can understand, it can be quite confusing to be able to rely on the raid frames and then get dumped in a 25-man and be raid healing blindly. If it isn't supposed to work, does anyone here that uses a resto druid have any suggestions for an addon that does a good job of displaying hots and their respective timers on raid frames?

Sorry if I forgot any details, I didn't remember to take a screenshot last night

but if you need, I can take one the next time i'm in a 25-man raid... thanks in advance.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they are not going to appear on any raid frames above the 10 man though I thought they were on the ten man, they may not be. The problem is real estate. There is a fix for this in the works (using Grid style indicators) but it is not yet implemented.

You're absolutely right, most of the time the buffs/hots appear on the frames in 10-man raids, once in a while it requires a wow client restart, but 25-man never worked.

I guess then what my next question is, what do resto druids use instead until the functionality is added of course

Most of the healers are using Grid until I get this all sorted out. Some use healbot.

Yeah my resto druid uses healbot. Tried clique and grid but never got to grips with it at all.

Yeah, I use healbot as well. Have never tried any of the others, but since I started out with healbot I never felt the need to try anything else. I just absolutely love my healbot.
