Healium

Healium is a World of Warcraft addon who's main goal is to simplify healing of party or raid members.

Healium provides a customizable, intuitive, compact, no-clutter interface optimized to make it easy to heal. Healium places your healing spells onto buttons right next to each person's healthbar. The buttons will cast the heal on the person they are beside of, without the need for you to target the person first.

Player healthbar's are compact and close to each other which reduces the amount of screen space you have to look over to monitor the party's health. The healing buttons are very close by, minimizing the space you have to move your mouse, and thus the time required, to cast the heal.

Unlike other healing focused addons, Healium does not require you to set up complex key combinations (shift, ctrl, and alt) to cast your heals. In Healium, you just click a healing button next to the person's health bar. There is no memorization of key combinations required, or even allowed!

Healium was originally based on FB Heal Box and has been updated to work with WOTLK, with many new features.

Healium Features

• Up to 15 customizable healing buttons next to each party member's name and health
  • The buttons have optional cooldown animations.
  • The buttons have optional range checking with customizable frequency

Instructions

After installing Healium, you will want to configure the button count and the button's spells.

Follow these steps

• Press the ESC key. That will bring up the Options window.
• Press the Interface button.
• Click the AddOns tab.
• Find Healium in the list and click it.

You should see options specific to Healium, including the Button Count slider, and button dropdowns that allow you to pick healing spells for each button. Use the scrollbar on the right to access more options. The spells in the dropdown just include healing and emergency type spells specifically picked by Healium. If you do not see any spells in the dropdown, make sure you are on a character class that actually has heals. The dropdown will only show heals which you actually have currently in your spellbook. Also make sure you are in the spec that has the spells you want to cast because many spells are only available via talents and will not show up if you are in a spec that doesn't have the spell currently. Those talent specific spells will be saved when you switch specs. You may actually use any spell including buffs by drag and droping a spell directly from you spellbook onto any Healium button. It's just like dragging a spell to an action bar.

Debuff Warnings

For the debuff warning options to work you must assign curing spells to buttons in Healium. Some classes only get one and some get two. Here is a summary of the cures that Healium can use:

• Druid
  • Remove Curse
  • Abolish Poison
• Mage
  • Remove Curse
• Paladin
  • Purify
  • Cleanse (replaces Purify)
• Priest
  • Cure Disease
  • Abolish Disease (replaces Cure Disease)
  • Dispel Magic
• Shaman
  • Cure Toxins
  • Cleanse Spirit (replaces Cure Toxins)

Type /hlm for a list of slash commands

Hints

• You can right click on a frame caption to access the Healium menu. This can be more convenient than going through the wow UI to get to the Healium config panel.
• You can right click on a health bar to drag the entire frame.
• Left clicking on a health bar will target that player.
• You may right click any Healium button to cast the spell on your current target instead of its intended target. This might be useful in emergencies or just as a way to cast spells/buffs on other people, using the Healium UI.

Known Issues

• Changing some settings on the Config Panel while in combat will cause problems. Please try to set it up before combat.
• Changes to the party/raid will cause right-click dragging of a frame window to stop.
