HealersMate has been succeeded by Puppeteer and no longer receives updates. It is recommended to use Puppeteer for all the latest features and bug fixes.
HealersMate is a unit frames addon for World of Warcraft Vanilla 1.12 tailored for healers, striving to be an alternative to modern WoW's VuhDo, Cell, or Healbot.
- Shows the status of party/raid/pets/targets health, power, marks, and relevant buffs and debuffs
- Colors the bars of players you can dispel
- Bind click-casting spells for both friendly and hostile targets
- See your bound spells, their cost, and available mana while hovering over frames
- Shows incoming healing
- Shows when players have aggro on mobs
- Assign roles to players
- Choose from a variety of preset frame styles, eventually to be fully customizable
- See the distance between you and other players (SuperWoW or UnitXP SP3 Required, otherwise only can check 28 yds)
- See when players/enemies are out of your line-of-sight (UnitXP SP3 Required)
- See the remaining duration of buffs and HoTs on other players (SuperWoW Required)
- Add players/enemies to a separate Focus group, even if they're not in your party or raid (SuperWoW Required)
Bind key+mouse button combinations to specific spells, allowing you to cast on any player with one click.
Use the command /hm in-game to open the configurator.
Assign these keywords as some of your free spell binds to perform special actions:
| Bind | Function |
|---|---|
| Target | Sets the unit as your target |
| Context | Open the right-click context menu |
| Role | Choose to set a player as Tank/Healer/Damage |
| Follow | Follow a player |
| Assist | Set the unit's target as your target |
| Focus (SuperWoW Required) | Add/remove a unit to your focus |
| Promote Focus (SuperWoW Required) | Moves a focus to the top |
When hovering over a player, a tooltip is displayed showing you what spells you have bound, their power cost, and how many times you can cast them.
HealersMate will display buffs and debuffs relevant to you, as well as color heath bars when a player has a debuff you can dispel.
While HealersMate is made with a healers-first mentality, it can be a viable option for raid frames for non-healers or dispellers.
Currently, 2.0.0 is in Alpha, which means there may be bugs and there are certain features lacking. Namely, a way to customize the UI. Under the hood, a lot of things are in place, but a user-friendly configuration is in the works. If you're feeling bold and know how to mess around with Lua, you can edit Profile.lua and ProfileManager.lua to finely customize your UI or define your own scripts under Customize>Advanced Options. See this wiki page for more info.
While not required, the mods listed below will massively improve your experience with HealersMate, and likely the game in general. Note that some vanilla servers may not allow these mods and you should check with your server to see if they do. Turtle WoW does not seem to have a problem with any of these. See this page for information about how to install mods.

| Question/Issue | Answer |
|---|---|
| I can't see any buffs or HoTs on players | If you're using a non-English WoW client, they are currently not supported by HealersMate. See these issues for more information: #22 #24 |
| Casting on other players doesn't work | If you are using the CallOfElements addon, there is an issue with that addon that prevents HealersMate from casting properly. To fix it, install this version of CallOfElements. |
| How can I make health bars be class colored? | Customizable frames are still in development. That said, if you'd like class-colored bars now, it is possible to edit the load script to make it happen. See this wiki page. |
| Can I use mouseover macros? | Currently, the SuperWoW mod is required to be able to use mouseover macros with HealersMate. This requirement will be lifted in a future update. |
