    how is your Ui as healer?

    Recently i joined a mythic progress guild and they also bring about 30 people on their hc run , its really hard to manage so many people , i can barely see whats happening because of so many frames , its even harder because i use decursive too and on dispell fights there is literally no space at all , i used to do 10mans or mythic+ before this and it was fine but 20+ ppl is a bit too much , i dont know how to handle this. Any ideas?

    I would give a raid frame addon a try! Personally I just use ElvUI with their enhanced raid frames, but you have Vuhdo, Grid, Grid2 etc.

    That might help you get the info you need in less space. It WILL take up space, don't get me wrong, but finding that balance between screen real estate and information can be crucial.

    That said, with say, core addons like weakauras/tellmewhen, and a boss mod, there should be more than enough space for you to see HP bars, debuffs and buffs, and the fire you should be moving out of

    Edit: Also, I would just drop decursive. It might be helpful, but it is really not needed IMO.

    Typical healer raid frame: http://imgur.com/a/MnLPP

    Most healers have it either below the char (see screenshot) or on the left / right. Mine starts with one group centered below the char and expands equally to the left and right. Just keep that area free from weak auras and so on.

    I have to remove the bars below the char then and replace them with the frames , not sure if i need a mod about this one , this guy doesnt use decursive too but i cant do that since i lack extra keys for dispells.

    The thing is, with a true healing raid frame addon, you can set up your dispel as a click, the same way decursive works. In fact, you can set up all some or all of your heals to be mouse clicks, or you can use the frames for mouse over macros, or you can use them to select people then hit your hotkey. You have much more flexibility using this kind of dedicated raid frame. They can also be set up to show you other important info in a much clearer way than the std blizz raid frames. I prefer Vuhdo, but any of them can help you out.

    Hope this helps.

    What addon makes you dispell with a click? I must have it.
    I'm having issues with dispelling on time.

    I know that vuhdo does this, not sure about other addons.

    You can use addon named Clique.
    However I prefer mouseover macros for healing (does not work with mouseclicks though)

    My UI as a healer is the standard UI, Never had any problems with it, and never really looked at any addons for better frames etc

    Here's my UI:

    My raid frames are right below my health bars (ElvUI bugs when I swap to holy from shadow cause my shadow frames are very different). I have action bars but their hidden. As for keybinds for dispelling, I personally use a lot of Shift or Ctrl modifiers for spells that I don't use often but still need access to. Shift + 8 happens to be my mouseover dispel and Ctrl + 8 is my Mass Dispel. I also use a naga which helps a ton but isn't a requirement. Might want to give that a shot, although I highly recommend mouse over macros for dispels.

    This is what I'm using:


    (Click for bigger version)

    It looks a lot like TukUI but it's not. I do like TukUI but I disliked not having the flexibility to move everything as needed. For example, there's no way to center raidframes in TukUI where you need them as a healer. They're always in the top left corner. There's just no way to heal with that AND keep an eye on fire under you. Plus, it kinda sucks when your addons are then not skinned to fit the look of the UI.

    Raidframes populate between player (left) and target (right). You can see my own frame as I display when solo.

    Oh god, here we go again, another "show me your UI" thread. Sure you can show how clean your ui is, but please let's not brag about it because that's not what OP is asking.

    Not sure anyone is bragging? We're giving suggestions; OP is finding it difficult to keep track of 20+ people, so we're showing how our UI's help us manage this...

    Half the posts so far had no raid frame on. I'm more inclined to say there's some narcissism involved in this thread, but please don't mind me, if you can help him then all power to you

    You can actually move them in tukui, I think you have to type /move or something like that. As for skinning everything, you should look into OuF, it might be what you're looking for.

    It would be handy if you could post your current ui, so we can see what we have to play with. If you use something like Elv-ui there's normally an option to allow you to customise the bar size, colour and buff/debuff tracking.

    Mine is an older screen shot, but raidframes are on there, they were just bugged. /shrug
