Another addon questionFollow

I am new to the bark side and usage of UI and raid frames addons, so pardon my noobishness.

I have been using Healbot between levels 70 and 79, but I do not think it´s what I want for serious raiding. My main issues with Healbot are that it doesn't allow me to set spells for scroll up and down, and also I cannot set macros, Ive tried with both writing the name of the macro or the macro itself and it does nothing, only picks up the default spells.

Another dilemma would be that I want to be able to click on someone´s icon/portret/bar/etc.. to target them. But I do not want that to mean I have to use a modifier like shift for the healing spells, leaving the normal left/right click for targeting/menu. The problem is that I want to use my left hand as little as possible, only for moving with WASD and perhaps tying the buttons 1 and 2 to something, but not something very important. In the last months my left hand hurts when I use the pc for a longer time, and I do not want to use it for important/fast reaction stuff like healing, I want to let all the healing on the right hand (5 button mouse).

Not very interested in mouse-over macros though.

The targeting thing is bothersome, if I dont want a modifier another option would be perhaps to have 2 sets of raid frames, a small one for targeting and another one specialized for healing? But that would clutter the screen. /sigh

Hjeelp! What addons do you recommend please? I know Grid-Clique are an option, are there other good ones?

Thanks!

You probably want Grid + Clique then. Here's an interesting read for trees about how to set it up.

Personally I tried it and I decided to stick to Healbot. It's less customizable, and I too wish I could use scroll down and up. But it's simple and reliable, and doesn't need endless hours to setup to your liking.

And here's a macro I made and bound to Mouse scroll down (in the regular key bindings, not Healbot) so I can always use it on the tank without clicking anywhere.


/target focus
/cast Lifebloom
/targetlasttarget

EDIT: I type too slowly :P
