I started healing with my mid-40s Druid this weekend. (Yes, me, healing, what is the world coming to?) First I tried Healbot, which was okay, but since I have no middle mouse button it was somewhat limited.

Based on this post, I switched to VuhDo and love it. The customization is great. I probably wouldn’t have stuck with it if you hadn’t shown me how you use it. So, thanks!

@Junya in the very first picture of the article under the title the default colouring is set so players/health bars are coloured green. Bright green when they are healthy and in range, dull green when they are out of range, and shades of orange and yellow as they drop to low health.

In the My Final Result section where Lathere and I have screencaptures of our preferred setup we have changed the VuhDo settings so that players/health bars are coloured by their class colour. Paladins are pink, Rogues are yellow, Hunters are green etc.

I’ve enjoyed Vuhdo so far but I cannot seem to get the raid colors to stay green. Is there something I’m not doing right? Any help would be great.

Can I be cheeky and ask if poss u could put up sizes of bars etc on Lath’s layout… cos I want to er pinch most of it for my own, and I really like your no clutter approach. I’m trying out VuhDu have been using grid/clique having read a few other glowing reports from tree people.

Also wanted to say great site/blog the tree community be they Horde or Ally seem over all to be jolly decent chaps/chapesse’s and all really helpful, my Tree’s an alt but is rapidly becoming a main.

All t’best

@ Xucan: That’s actually a really valid point. When I first tried VuhDo a friend of mine recommened that I try the Grid’s latest-version-in-development-beta. It promised to be great, but I was looking for a finished working Addon that was stable so I gave VuhDo a go first.

It’s great to hear that users have helped shape VuhDo into what it is. Probably explains why it’s just so darned useful.

One really big thing that Vuhdo has over grid is just how active the author is. I was an early adopter, and was really surprised how quickly the author not only responded, but implemented the suggestion (different layout profiles).

When I first came back, I gave VuhDo a try. There were things I liked and things that I think could be improved.

Some things I liked:
I loved that it has a test button so you can see what it looks like in a raid format without actually being in a raid.
I also really loved the HoT counters.
But the greatest “advantage” Vuhdo has over Grid is that the functionality is built-in without the need to download several additional addons.

However there were some things I didn’t like:
Several of the options didn’t seem straightforward. I had a hard time configuring the frames the way I wanted.
I had some issues with icons obscuring my view of counters or vise versa.
I also had a hard time getting the buff monitor to work correctly.

Overall, it just didn’t seem quite as customizable/powerful as Grid to me. But I’ll be the first to say that I probably didn’t devout enough time to give Vuhdo a fair shake and I plan to try it again in the future.

As an aside, I plan to post about my current Grid configuration in a couple days. After working with Vuhdo, I decided I really love the way it uses counters and have integrated HoT counters into my Grid configuration for almost all of my HoTs. I would love to hear your comments on it when it’s done.

Also, I too really love your blog!
