- Healbot is a healing addon for World of Warcraft. It provides total control of healing and decursing. Shows how to setup options by each tab. Visit the official Healbot website www.healbot.info/
Healbot has alot of feature and 10:59 time limit is starting to feel cramped. I know my narration isn't the best ^_^

It's so crazy how I found this video 13 years ago and here I am in 2024 right back here watching it to set up my healbot again. I watched this video so many times throughout the years coming back and setting up healbot even tho there is tons of newer videos about it. At this point its nostalgic and also just a good ass tutorial lol So i def appreciate it man, this video you probably didnt think to much about at the time is a whole part of my life lol Crazy how the world works.
@@lilT0021 thanks for the kind words. frankly I’m surprised it still applies after all these years. But healbot was so perfect back then, I’m glad they haven’t tried to reimagine it or anything. I haven’t played WoW in a while, but very glad to hear my videos are still relevant and helpful.
@@Surannhealz We are at a point now where there is multiple versions of Healbot due to so many versions of wow out. From Retail and all of the classic era servers(Cata/vanilla & Hardcore/SoD) to the rise of so many big private servers that even tho healbot has changed and added alot to it since this video, alot of people playing older versions of wow have been using older versions of heal bot So this video still and will probably always help people lol I myself found this video late wotlk/start of cata, and funny enough now Classic era is at the Cata expansion and here i am again lol
Awesome guide!
Spent lv 1-70 as a priest with everything set to default because I didn't know what to actually tinker with. You made my life as a healing priest a lot easier!
Just came back to WoW 2 weeks ago and couldn't find good videos to set up my healbot again.. This is definitely it.. Thanks so much for posting this!
@Mg60070 yes I believe its under skin > healing > check target under self/group/raid area. The only catch is that it will not update while in combat...so you can't click on a friendly while in combat and have it update and add the bar...just something to keep in mind.
Great video. Very informative, and at the same time you make it all seem very accessable to someone like me, just starting out their first priest. Much appreciated.
@Pr0jectRAiN I believe under general tab make sure you have "Lock Healbot" unchecked and left click on the very outside border of your healbot frame and drag it. The border is pretty small, don't try to grab a health bar accidently.
Cheers mate!
This was one of the most helpful videos showing how to use and setup healbot, that i have seen:)
Always love your videos Surann, glad you made an update, I was so lost without seeing a video from you ;)
dude you make the best healbot tutorials
Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
@ReaperOfDarkness1990 make sure under skins tab it isn't set to "lock healbot", then click the very edge and drag it somewhere. Be sure to lock it afterwards!
@McMonk3Yz as far as just button pushing they can be equal. However healbot will let you do more advanced things like changing color based on magic/poison/curse. You can also watch for custom debuffs that aren't necessarily dispellable or should not be dispelled. You can watch for helpful buffs (like power word fort or blessing of kings), and you get far more control of the layout. You also don't have to learn macros, but if you do know them they can make healbot even more powerfull.
@sgrotton The little bars above my character is Classtimer. The one you see in some videos, like in the very begining, that has the spell icons sliding along the timer is called Watcher. Watcher is good for stuff that has a cooldown on it, like say Prayor of Mending or Natures Swiftness or Guardian Spirit....stuff like that. Classtimer is good for when you get buffs on you and want to know how long you have left, stuff like Clearcasting or Evangelism
Thank you for making a new set up! I've been waiting for updated version :P
Thanks so much man. saves me a shit load of time playing with this amazing yet confusing addon.
the best healbot tutorial thanks
the close ups, squares, arrows etc are really well done.
Nice video. I wish I found it back when I first made my healer and got healbot a little while back. I'll favorite this though because it still has a lot of good info that can help me more.
@superGforce1 Go into Skins > General and then at the bottom of that pane under the Refresh Multiplier slider you will see two words Background and Border. Click on each of them to get a color and transparency adjustment. If you want clear, just click at the bottom of the + / - slider for transparency. You have to click inside the slider to make it change.
@DeadbeatWoW some ppl would say its easier. For me its more about having the extra info. Especially being able to pick and choose which icons you want to see. It's puts a lot necessary info right there for you.
@forsakenheros To bring up the Healbot config screen (like seen in this video), you can either click the little H symbol that appears around your mini-map. Or you can type "/hb config" in the chat window to open the config screen. You can also type "/hb help" to see some basic options printed.
@mxcfactor if its not affecting game play you can try going into the interface options (of wow) and turn off KIA errors. Or disable any error catching adders, like swatter, that you may have.
@kifjifviktor under skins tab, the general sub tab has "lock healbot" or something to that effect. It's a check box.
@Surannhealz Under the skins tab under options, you can select bars at the top. This will let u set the number of columns u would like to have.
I hate to sound like a broken record but I give credit where it is due, thank you for this well organized video. Will you be going over any of the very slight changes for 4.0.3.6? Not that it is drastically different, more just curious as to your take on the changes. Cheers.
@Surannhealz Not too sure, but:
Skins > Use skin: Group > Use Groups per Column = unchecked > No. groups per column: 5
@Surannhealz that's in response to stock UI healing versus add-on healing.
@jondoetube it should always be present. There are some options like disable out of combat or when solo.
@flcl92 as far as make the bars disappear when players out of range, no. You can only make faded out (opacity).
@LuckyIrish13 in that case you would be better off learning how to make macros and stick them on your action bar so a keyboard or gamepad could activate them. You could still use healbot to visually monitor stuff though. Buffs, debuffs, health, etc.
@OnikoChan try the tab called tips I believe, it should be one of the last ones at the bottom.
@flcl92 you could go to skins->click hide-> and click hide bars that are 100 yards away
very helpful video, thank you. even though it's not totally up-to-date, I still have a much better idea how to use the addon
TY dude this was a very helpfull had to re-install healbot and didnt remember how to set it up this made it super easy thx bro
@FawxNewbz have you tried putting the macro in your action bar and invoking with normal keyboard or mouse click. Just to make sure the macro itself is functional. Also try renaming it something, try with no spaces and double check capital letters.
@kniglyon add-on is called "Watcher". That quick enough ^_^
@Sausageman666 also there should be a H icon around your minimap that will open healbot.
If the raid uses the "roles" feature then ya your fine, but some sometimes raid leaders forget or ppl get switched out. However almost without fail the tanks will have the most HP. So in my option its little more fail safe.
BEST GUIDE/REVIEW EVER , thanks! :D
this really helped me set it up the way i needed thank you !
Thx for the guide, it realy helped me to heal better.
Thanks a lot man! I just got back into wow and configuring healbot definitely wasn't intuitive. You got me all set up though :D Thanks!
@InEXII Glad it helped you!
This was amazing!! Also what was the song used? It sounds like the one off final fantasy... something
I noticed, that for Priest, Healbot does not recognize "Holy Word: Sactuary and Serenity" as spell, but when "Holy Word: Chastise" is put in its place, it bring up the spell, but is unable to cast, because it's the wrong name. When I use PoM or PoH, and cause Sanctuary to activate, putting Chastise brings up the AoE marker, but does not cast when clocked, kind of a strange bug.
Thought I'd mention that for the Holy Priests out there, maybe there's some kind of work around.
@jminch270159 my Mic is pretty bad. It's quite and there is lots of background noise. I did keep the bgm volume low and chose music with pretty consistent volume and tones. I think they are getting better with each iteration though.
@Junius01 Thanks...thats the stuff that takes the longest to do on these videos, but I think is essential so that ppl understand what they are looking at.
@XxXbobstaXxX The default raid frames are much improved then they were in the past. You can descently heal people now if you are profecient with macros. But it still offers nowhere near what some of the popular addons offer. Healbot is not strong just because of its healing abilities, it cause of all the different features it brings together.
@superGforce1 under skins set the numbers of groups per column to 1, that will grow it left to right.
@superGforce1 Look at one of previous replies at the top. I use Classtimer and Watcher (classtimer is to either side of character and watcher at the very bottom).
Great Vid. Helped a lot. I have one question thought. Is there any way to get Healbot to target the person you have clicked on? Thanks :)
@OmegaOmotron under skins change columns to 1 group per column. Then each group will push out a new column.
@StraightEdgeReviews I hear ya, just in dungeon gear I got something like 3000 mana per 5. I can almost spam healing wave with no net loss in mana!
@BivertZ it is called "watcher"
@maxximmus3 you have to click on the very outside border.
@tokenblksk8er I believe most of them are from the soundtrack of Final Fantasy XIII composed by Masashi Hamauzu. The second song is the main menu theme. Other than that, I haven't played enough of the game yet to really know all the songs. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.
Thanks for this guide, helped me a lot!
change your alert bar to 100% and itll show everyone in 40 yards. its also in the guide :P just sorted mine out as it had the same problem :)
@aimzing not within healbot, but you might be able to find an app that can remap keys. I use a belken n52te which can remap keys.
@McMonk3Yz Adjust the height & width of the bars on the Skins > Bars tab. 6:33
@huckivic your using capital letters and such in the spells tab? It has to be exactly as it is in your spell book.
@jondoetube try reseting the position. Sometimes it will be off the screen.
@deadmonkey62 that happened to me when I had a version that was pre-cataclysm. If you didn't already you may try deleting the wow>interface>addons>healbot folder and download from the official healbot website.
I love your background music FF13!!
@Bleoo1 can't see video at the moment, but its probably Watcher. If its the one with spell icons moving along the timeline.
I feel I see a Sims movie with this music :D
@jondoetube No right click on it and click options then make sure healbot is enabled
Thanks Dude appreciate your efforts on the video !
Thanks man, this helps so much.
very helpfull ty made healing possible for me lol had no idea how to setup
I find "right click opens options" annoying so I uncheck it because I'm a druid and have Rejuvenation set to right click and if I am not paying full attention, I sometimes click the side and open the options. To get to the options with it unchecked, for those who don't know type this command into the chat box: "/hb o"...yeah kinda makes sense for a command lol.
@Surannhealz should say "turn off LUA errors"....phone auto corrected :(
Can you do a version for healbot 5.0? I am having trouble with my bars now, they used to light up when I was in range and no longer do so.
Is this song from Final Fantasy 13? Like the music in the background? It sounds familiar but im unsure.
What songs are these? they are amazing
Thanks for this intro!
Excellent vid! Thanks a ton!!!
@virindi73 healing tab > icons. At the bottom select death knight then whatever spell and select show never. Ya had same issue with them, too many buffs :)
thanks now i can be a healer since feral druid's got nerfed
@Surannhealz ahh sorry it didnt do what I was hoping for. Are you familiar with Grid? well you know how you can click on a friendly target and YOU target him? is there a way that you can target the person when clicked AND do the heal on healbot or even Grid? Thanks sorry if im not making sence :(
I like how u set it up but min stack on top of eachother. Like grp 1 wud b on top of grp 2 i want to know how to get it spread out like yours.
@ugbbe89 Idk what happens if you change the default bar color, but with the green bar it turns yellow when you take damage, then orange & then red when you're really close to death.
Nice video, but you have something that says the cooldown of your spells. where do you get that?
@Surannhealz Thanks! it looks just like yours bu the backhround is black and i wnt it clear. Any sugestions?
I d like to have an addon that shows at the right of my screen the life bars of those who are in need of a heal (70% or lower ) + who are in my healing range.
other whise i d not like to see em in my screen. + when they go below 70% I want to see the healing bar over their head .
is there such an addon?
and what is the name of it.
Greetings!
I'm new to healing i would like to know how do you get that heal bot tab up on your screen?? Thank you for your time.
This was a pretty usefull vid. Ty. Im going resto with my shaman!
thanks this really helped me
Awesome video, thanks!!
@Surannhealz Thank you, especially for quick response. This is gonna heal me out a great deal : )
needed this, thanks a lot for posting... too bad just noticed it now xD
Whats that bar under the spot where you put your healbot??? 0:55
@Twesalby I actually just got a message from TH-cam last week saying my account was now eligible to upload up to an hour now ^_^
@LuckyIrish13 just wonderin but why do you play without a mouse>?
I have a situation, where I have EVERYTHING setup with how your options are, but im not getting any bars for myself or in party. Could it be a mess up with another addon?
@Habbybizz see my comment a couple spots down about "lock healbot" under skins tab.
@asikorra funny thing is I can't play without it. I even use it on DPS classes.
Other than sub-sorting it as max health, is their a way to have the tank always second? (The option "self first" is in play here)
Thank you.
how can you make healbot look like it is showing on this video, that bright green with clear names???
How do you make it so Death Knight's Frost disease won't show up on Healbot? I still want to see when a member on my Healbot has Ice trap, and mage ice feet, but that DK disease shows up and looks the same on my Healbot (blue). Plz help, thx.
