Kraygien saidI have the heal options screen set up with default spells listed in the Spells options panel. The checked options include "use enabled ... ooc" and "smartcast when ooc (to include all spells)". (always use enabled settings and avoid accidental pvp flagging are not checked.) On my druid when I used the left click button out of combat healbot would apply rejuvenation and if I clicked again while rejuvenation was still healing healbot would apply lifebloom. If I clicked a third time while the first two spells were still HoTing healbot would apply regrowth.
Now no matter what I do, whether in combat or not, left click only applies regrowth. This mysteriously changed during one of the most recent updates. Was something changed or have I somehow mucked up my settings?

StrifeCUK saidAlthough this is not a big deal (out of combat issue), I will look at it.
depending on time, the fix might only get applied to version 3.0.x as it is more time consuming to maintain 2 branches and with 2.4.x about to become redundant... I decided to only work on 3.x.
Saying this there should be an update coming in from Acirac and I believe he will be applying the update to both versions, this update improves DC information.

Elderam saidI noticed a problem i Zul Aman yesterday.
It seems that Healbot does not recognise Domesticated that the Beast Tamers (on the way to Halazzi) do as a dispellable magic.
The other priest that do not use Healbot could dispel the effect fine but I could not.
Also I read a post about Decursive that was from 28 july indicating that they had a problem with those mobs to.
Is this something anyone is aware of and know what to do about. It caused quite some problems when the other priest was domesticated as I could not dispel him.
Unfortunatly I do not have a combatlog file at the moment but I will try go get one on the next reset.

acirac saidYou can workaround this issue by using a macro with healbot instead. I think the reason healbot has issues is because it uses the raid number of the person instead of the name and when a person gets mc i don't think that raid num works anymore. What I did to fix it was type the name Dispel in Healbot and then created a macro through /macro named Dispel with the following code:
#showtooltip Dispel Magic
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=target,exists][target=player] Dispel Magic
I use the same macro when not useing healbot frames as well. That is why it has all the extra code. The key to having this work is that i used the target=mouseover instead of target=hbtarget.

stevestunter saidFor short I love HB. Thx for all your work on this.
but I'm a total macro newb....
Is there a way to "actually target" and heal a player with one mouse click?
What exactly does this mean and how do you do it?:
"Target, Focus and Assist can be added to all combos"
Is a combo say......ctrl+left click?
Is Left click alone a combo?
Cause I can't combine Traget with any heals in Healbot.
A reply to a similar question was: add "target".
How?
I wish I could do something like:
(Left Click): Target Flash Heal
I would like to add Target to all my heals so the [target=mousover] actually also targets the player I'm mousing over and heals them.
"Target" alone on any separate click combo works fine.
Do I need to make a macro for all my heals and then type the macro in each of my click blanks? Or can some target command just be aded to all blanks in HealBot?
If it's a macro would it look like this or something?:
/target=[mouseovertarget]
/cast Flash Heal
Or for example if I can just add target to my left click line exactly what would I type in the "Left Click" line of HB to target and cast Flash Heal at the same time?:
And can u put the 186 page comments below on another web page that has a search feature please?
Thank You,
-Steve..

stevestunter saidThe macros in the readme file dont do any targeting as far as I can tell.
Could you please proved an example of a macro that will "actually target" and heal a player with one mouse click? My friend says it's impossible to target and heal a mouseover target. That's why noone can give an exact example as was repeatedly requested above....
Thank You.
