Heal bot -> Tank bot =D

Some people here probly do the same as me and uses Heal bot for tanking, for the others, thats why im posting this. it's very useful for some paladin spells while tanking

for those who dont know, the way healbot works is it puts up a box with everyone's name and a health bar in it, spells are bound to the mouse clicks you do on these little boxes,

eg. holy light is bound to left click, i left click the box for fred, fred get's holy lighted

Heal bot does not specifically need heal spells, it just needs spells to be bound to it. i have 3 mouse buttons, which is the perfect amount

left: Righteous Defense
middle/wheel: Hand of Salvation
right: Hand of Protection

righteous defense with healbot is a godsend, healbot will put a red box around any raid member that has aggro on something, so click the red box and you just taunted, healers love you now.

couple healbot with omen and you got a quick salving solution

and for those "when shit happens" moments you can save our dps's life with a quick HoP (or break someone out of a yogg saron constrictor)

hope this has been helpful

I ues xperl/clique for a similar solution. I also have loh and DS bound to ctrl-click

I use my brains for this

Clique + Grid here.

grid with a giant red corner icon for aggro + mouseover macro

i really prefer pressing a keybord- than a mousebutton. other
than that its the same as using healbot
not saying it aint a good thing tho.. but its just more stuff youll
have to fit into your ui since HB wont work as a raidframe

you, my friend, fuckin ROCK!

I've been using healbot of course mainly for my holy spec, but when it comes to tanking, i was using my fifth mouse button to bop and middle mouse to focus target (then a key to taunt, etc).

What you suggested just shortcuts everything to be so much easier.

Thanks for the great post!! I will most definitely be using that.
