HealBarsClassic brings healing predictions to Blizzard's default unit frames. There's no need for complicated setup, simply install and adjust the settings options to fit your own tastes. You'll have all the info you need to be an effective healer, including when someone is protected by shields or a major cooldown like Blessing of Protection or Shield Wall. That way you'll always know where to prioritize heals.
This revival has been rewritten from scratch relying solely on native APIs for optimal raiding performance. While the game now provides healing prediction for direct heals, this addon brings visibility to overhealing, HoTs, and AoE heals such as Prayer of Healing and Tranquility. It also allows you to configure separate colors for your own heals and HoTs.
This addon was formerly known as HealBarsClassic - Hotfix and was renamed to indicate a complete rewrite and revival (including the creation of LibHealPredict to replace LibHealComm).
