Vanilla Healing Assignments
WOW 1.12.1 addon
my background: i was raiding for nearly 3 years end game on another server and made this addon to have easy healing assignments in raids (no more macros :D )

Make easy and fast Healing Assignments, post them in class-colors!
all assignments are auto-saved - even if youre log out or alt-f4!

important for nostalrius: Posting delay (slow post mode) depends on serverlag - i managed to have 190ms, but save value is 300-500ms!
addon has been tested by Murlocbrigade Silberwald on nost so far :)

feel free to post errors (with screenshot if error code) :D

This looks pretty amazing!

I have one concern, and that would be the Addon being able to color words in chat, because if that is visible to others, it breaks the ToU.

But I'm sure many Raidleader will be reliefed with this Addon :)

it is NOT possible to post in world chat, /1, /2 or /3...you dont have to use colors(also you HAVE TO activate it before), since its forbidden by server rules :)
but trust me, once you used colors, ppl will complain if you dont do that again :)
only possible public channel you are able to post with this addon is /s

Well as you probably know, people were banned for queueing AV with a macro using built in functions... I don't think these guys think twice before swinging the banhammer here. So public channels or not it is still against ToU and I would be super careful about the colors part. Pretty great addon though!

My only concern is that healing assignments are almost never used. I can't remember when last time was necessary to assign all healers to specific targets - except for maybe Patchwerk.

But yes, it looks great! :-)

prob :)
on VG -> Omega, Wipe Club, Oathsworn, Chaos, Exodus and DP ofc used/useing that addon - much spam in healer channel :)
basically we assign 1 priest and 1 druid to a tank - esp. on naxx thrash - spider wing dispel - and some bwl packs this can be handy :)

idk how healing is on nost, but the guilds i asked for testing were uesing assignments too...

This addon is pretty cool.

Healing assignments are used VERY often in high end raiding, and I can see this helping. Every healer CL has their own way of doing assignments, and standardizing the method and being able to save templates for specific fights is great. In addition, Heals forget who they are healing, and tanks forget who they are tanking very often when things are just called out in vent.

It may be a good idea to add a tank target in addition to the healers assigned to a tank. But this sort of crosses over to a Tank CL sort of role.

Thanks for this addon, I will try to use it and give some feedback if possible.

One thing I would like to see is to disable the ''repost'' thing. So if I disable it, even if people whisper me repost it won't spam the raid.

added Raid Marks as optional Healers and more options for bottom post line / whisper mode!

Image

Image

edit: text is limited to 255 characters per line - so you cant assign unlimited amount of healers per tank :P
use workarround with custom text if you need more healers(7-10 in colors possible, 10+ wihout colors possible)

This addon supresses grid enhanced in raids for some reason. No LUA error, but when using grid enhanced, and adding this addon to my UI, grid will no longer show in raid groups with any settings and no amount of changing settings or turning standby off/on will show it in raids, beyond resetting it alltogether (Grid), whereupon it immediately dissapears again as soon as you leave/join another raid group. Disabling this addon immediately fixes the issue. Functions normally in a party setting.

I wish I could use it, but the incompatibility is a real kicker.
