Anyone have a working weakaura or addon for tracking how many targets will be hit by chainheal?
Grid2 and Plexus (Grid rebranded) have the ability to tie group healing to an indicator.
Plexus may require a plugin for that but Grid2 does this in the core add on.
Right now I have it tied to a border color and at the highest priority so when I crack one off the borders of the affected players will light up.
Also works with healing rain.
I believe Aptcheka also track this with one of its native indicators but haven’t played around with it.
The group healing indicator also is great for priests and other healers with AOE healing.
I could see how this would be great with priest AOE healing (40yd range). But how does it work with chain heal 12.5 yd jump range? Can I see which targets will be hit before I cast?
The grid method will light up when they get hit with a heal so you know who got the heal effect on the cast.
I believe, but cannot check till I get of work, you can tie indicators to range but not sure if it can do range for aoe spells; especially as chain heal hops. With the mechanics dancing going on I can see this being even harder.
I poked at Aptcheka on the curse site and it says it has indicators for smart aoe heal so it might let you mouse over a unit frame and light up those that may be in range but not sure if it can delineate range per spell.

Grid2 has a setup guide and it looks like they may have some predictive heal range capability. Link is below

UPDATE: I poked around Grid2 and noticed it no longer has the “neighbor’s” status. This was in their guide under the AOE heals category for things like mousing over a frame and seeing who is near - clustering for aoe heals or linkages for chain heal. It might have been removed if blizzard made that unavailable. The guide may be out of date. I’ll continue poking to see if it is available in another status setting but neither Grid2 or Plexus seem to have this unfortunately…
