Hello, I am using elvui with clique to heal dungeons and maybe do some raids.
I am a complete noob for healing and thought why not. I liked leveling discipline priest but I always go back to my feral. I even got into Boomkin which I love. And actually have okish gear to just play resto sometimes.
Now, when you are healing in say open world. How do you go about healing everyone just randomly beating on a boss. Yes, I do have mouseover macros on all my healing spells. But do you turn on their nameplates to see healthbars, do you have another addon or something for that? What about a weak aura or something. I am not sure how the pro’s or majority are doing it but I am just trying to setup my ui to take it a bit serious…uh…casually serious.

This is my character. I was looking to see if anyone had a better ui when doing dps as a resto when you can. Clique and Elvui seems a bit off. I just turned on nameplates anyways but Clique and Elvui keybindings seem off.
And supposedly there was a way to turn elvui partyframes into raidframes but I haven’t found it yet.
I use just mouse over casting through the default ui. I can just mouse over anyone and heal someone that way. Much easier. I tried ElvUi but eventually got rid of it.

In open world, I just click on random people, throw out a wild growth and out eflo under some.
For group content I use VuhDo on all of my characters because I like the way it looks and interacts. Turing party and raid frames off in ElvUi as well (under the unit frames tab)
I still use Healbot haha. To be fair, I haven’t tried any of the otger options. Been using HB for years, so its muscle memory now.
It works for everything I want it to do, and saves me making a bunch of macros. I do wish it was easier to track certain buffs with it, but I can manage either way.
Sorry for my late response. I have a friend who swears by Vuhdo too. I may give that a try. I did make some macro changes to be a bit more defined on how it works. I still need to work on some abilities but I got the basics I guess. Thanks everyone. I see its a me issue and just need to build it how I want it.
as someone who has leveled and plays all world content as restoration drood.
I use mouse over macros… although nowadays most of the mouse over functionality of the built-in blizzard stuff will work just fine.
and shift + V to pop up friendly name plates when people are around.
that said when I’m healing open world stuff and there’s a bunch of people around I’m usually just doing as much AoE as possible because it’s hard to accurately heal people when they’re jumping around unless you click on them and focus them specifically. name plates can help with that though too.
