Healer (Paladin) UI

Sigma1992 · 05-12-08, 08:32 AM

I am fairly new to the whole customizing your UI business. I used the default UI the whole time I was leveling. When I hit 70, I got Decursive for dispelling, Pally Power, Omen, and Xperl (mostly because it looks cool). But none of these really change the old action bars down at the bottom to make it easier for me to heal. I just have flash of light in the first slot, holy light in the second, and cleanse in the third. So I press 1, 2 and 3 for those because they are the spells I use the most often. Everything else I just mouseclick.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make this better and easier for me to use? (Bonus points if it looks cool :P)

On a side note, I don't do much raiding besides the occasional Karazhan or ZA. I am basically all PvP now. So if anyone knows any UI mods that could be benefitial to a healer in the arena, I am open to those too.

I never liked it, but MANY healers rely on "Clique":

<3 Clique for my Druid

Without Clique I wouldn't be able to heal in a raid. My only complaint is the limit of the number of key combos you can have (be sweet if you could hold ANY key to produce a new combo but I know it's nearly impossible).

I use Clique and Pitbull w/ Heal Estimator. I also ran with a paladin who had PB + HE cause I saw his estimated heals on my frames which made healing SUPER efficient.

There are serveral other UFs that have heal estimations on them and I suggest using any one of them.

o.O There are 21 different click combinations. More if you have a 5-button mouse. Plus add in the fact that you can bind shift-click to do one thing if it's a friendly target and something else if it's a harmful target. So, make that 42+ spells to bind through Clique.

For PVE healing and large scale pvp such as alterac valley I use healbot (with decursive ofcourse for cleansing) for the "unitframes" and CT bars for the actionbars. Dr Damage isn't vital but it's pretty nice for additional spell information.

Healbot is pretty awesome, gives you a rough estimate how fast people are dropping on health and incomming heals on them etc. Basically you can just leftclick heal everyone without having to think too much of it since it'll use what heal it consider the best for the given situation. You can also config different mouse / key combinations to do different stuff like holy light is default to mouse2 and alt+mouse1 is cleanse.

Librameister for automatic libramswitching during heals and pallypower for buffmanagement.

I'm currently trying to figure out what i should use for PVP aswell, especially the arena. Currently im using perl & proximo mainly. I want to get something that tells me duration of debuffs like blind and stuns on my teammates and enemy cooldowns on kick / counterspell. And all this without having the screen cluttered with addons would be nice haha.
