Big Wigs Healbot Assist
Strategy module for the Loatheb encounter in Naxxramas.

Healbot Assist gives the raid healing leader a list of all the healers in the
raid in a prioritized order inside a tablet display.

Here is how it works:

1. The mod enables, the first and second person will get whispers to just heal when they are ready.
2. First healer heals -> second healer gets "Heal now!" whisper, third healer gets "Get ready!".
3. Second healer heals -> third healer gets "Heal now!" whisper, fourth healer gets "Get ready!".

And so it loops #3.

If everyone has the debuff, the mod finds who has the least remaining time on it and
then tells him to heal next.

The mod wants a healer channel to output messages like "X healed - X is next!"
to. You have to set this channel with /bwhba setchannel <channelname> before the
encounter starts or you will get spammed about it.

Note
Make sure you take a look at the options under Bosses -> Naxxramas -> Healbot Assist. Be sure to configure it so that only one person in your raid broadcasts.

Is this addon restricted to Loatheb? There are raids that need healing rotations in BWL too, and therefor it would be nice to have such a feature available. Also the name doesn't mention Lothaeb (so if you're not planning to extend it to other situations, I'd like to suggest to name it differently).

Yes, it is restricted to Loatheb. The name mentions Loatheb in the subtle way that Healbot is an anagram for Loatheb.

heh, i find this amusing in that the similar addon I wrote for my guild is called BigWigs_Healbot :p

Hehe :D Why isn't it in the SVN?

It has been confirmed that the last version works if you replace the embedded copy of SEEmbed-Aura-2.0 with the one from here: http://pastebin.ca/162605

Please note that this will BREAK any other addon using that library that uses the Iter methods it provide, including Detox.

Obviously, it has also been confirmed that the mod DOES NOT work if you use the SEEmbed-Aura-2.0 library that comes with it.

Wait, so every healer in the raid can use it to see the window with the list of healers and ready state, or no? Rabbit says only person must be running the mod? I'm confused :( We tried it last night and it wouldn't work, then it worked briefly but only iterated through the first two or three healers before crappping out :/

I have fixed those issues now, but you still have to use the library in the above post.

Thanks to c0rnflake for helping me track down some problems.

I added some commands to the tablet list for leaders: Print rotation to raidchat, ignore target (toggles it if target is already ignored) and re-scan healer list - which needs to be done after someone has been ignored or people leave/join the raid or whatever.

using r10911 i couldn't manage to get this to sync the list with the healers in the raid. This lead to confusion on our first attempt and in the end all healers uninstalled it and i just used the wisper / announce to channel options.

Yes, it doesn't do that yet. The raid1-40 id's do not point to the same player locally.

I think I'll add AceComm to the mix and do some magic, it might happen soon. And then again, it might not.

Is there a way to configure the delay between heals ?

There is no delay between the heal and the messages. It's up to the next healer in line to determine when his heal is actually needed.

If HealerXXX becomes OOM, do the addon skip him ?

No.

Quote from tazmanyak »

Skip if healer Dead ?

Yes.
