Hey All, Healer here.
I expressely use Healbot for healing. I’ve done so for years, and its how I know to heal and what I enjoy to use.
I see that it was updated to Version 12.0 but when i’m using it in game, i’m getting flooded with errors. Does anyone else have this problem?
Yep…….still getting errors on HB. Hope its fixed by release day. I have Clique set up as a back up but prefer HB
The author is working on it. It’s up to Blizzard and addon developers to get access to the API that’s needed for it to function correctly and sacrifices to functionality the addon will have to make.
Install Bugsack and Buggrabber. See if the errors are actually Healbot.
Then copy and paste those errors, and go to the Issues page of the github site of the addon. Then let the author know.
Yes. I’m having the same problem. You are not alone. Apparently, there is an issue with the add-on. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
I’m just happy the author is keeping the dream alive.
Losing Healbot would have been painful, I’d hate to have to set up raid frames without help.
I don’t play healer often, but has anybody gotten Healbot to work yet? Any word from the addon developer? I’d hate to shelve my holy priest, but healbot makes healing fun and easy for me and it’s a nice break from dps’ing.
You can kind of do the same thing healbot does by making macros and you won’t have the lua errors constantly, that’s what I’d recommend if it’s inconsistent or just try a new addon
They released an update but I am still getting lua errors. Let’s hope they can make it work, it’s my favorite addon.
Specifically including the [@mouseover] option when creating the macro. Blizzard’s implementation of mouseover casting is deficient. It shouldn’t require a key press, and even if you select auto, the game likes to ignore that.
Yes! Exactly what you’re saying,
(I meant to post this but forgot ty)
All my macros for instance are;
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] Spell Name
or if it’s an floor spell,
#showtooltip
/cast [@cursor] Spell Name
Y’all need to get into the Healbot Discord and check the bug reports section for the errors. If you don’t see a bug report on it, then you need to submit one so that Strife can continue to fix things.
He can’t fix what he doesn’t know about!
I have started using Helium again. Its not the greatest but its also not the worst. Its also a very simple healing addon. Might be something to look into while we wait for Healbot and Vuhdu.
this has been my go to since 2010ish, when I stopped using healbot. addon nuke proof, always reliable good ole mouse over macros will take any healer pretty far
can try this to try and fix it until the update is fixed correctly how ever long that will take
The errors are absolutely healbot, it is attempting to perform operations on secret values still. They won’t crash your game but they do generate fatal errors which if you’re not using an addon to squash errors will get annoying fast. The author knows about the errors and is working to fix them still but for now know that using healbot isn’t technically causing issues aside from a minor performance one as it keeps rerunning scripts that try to perform logic on secret values.
