Healers and Profit UI

[Keelinn]

<p>Hi <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /></p><p>It was suggested on another post I was reading, that profit UI is best for healers.  I'm curious to know why?  Anyone have an answer?</p><p>Thanks!</p>

It's pretty good. I prefer drumsui myself, but that is because a while back profit bugged out on me and I switched to drums and got used to it. Both of those uis have good healer utility, though I do like the ease of use for setting up macros in drumsui more. It's all about the click to cure on both of them as far as why they are good to use as healers.

Since the offical UI includes click to cure the main benefit of custom UIs for healers nowadays are the "raidmacros" and the stand alone mob casting bar. Raidmacros are a number of programmable buttons that allow you to cast a spell on a fellow raid or group member without changing your target. For healer ist is mostly used for spot heals, death prevents and rezzes. Also cou can add additional commands like <em>tellchannel</em> to your cures. This is esp. helpful for curse cures. The benefit of the stand alone mob casting bar is that you can position it close to your hotbars so it is easier to time your cures and heals to when an AE is about to hit. Beside these two is is mainly preference with smaller UI windows so you can see more, etc.

<p>Ok, that makes some sense now!</p><p>I'm not a raiding fury, usually not a grouping fury unless I'm forced.  I'm more of a 'decorating' and harvesting fury.  I do use profit but never noticed the benefits in a group situation.</p><p>Thanks for the answers <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>You have to do the /show_window command to make the cast bar appear. Then you can move it wherever you like. It does work off implied targets.</p>

<p>I also like Aditu's raid window for click to cure and heal.</p>

<p>I'm all for any UI that let's me heal individuals without changing targets, profit is what i use and trying something else ... well just thinking of it makes my head hurt.</p>
