Hello, I am a programmar and I just have a simple question. Some addons, like BGSpy, are able to detect enemy specs from the very start of the BG. So my question is: why does HHTD use the combot log to find the player's spec instead of just using the same method BGSpy uses?

Thank you!

Thank you for the explanation! A ranking system would truly be awesome. An idea that pops into my head would be to adjust the scale of the + based on how good their heals are :P.

Anyways, keep up the awesome work on the addon, man. Ignore the fools saying it's cheating... it's really not hard to identify healers. It's just a quality of life addon. It's like saying Gladius is cheating because you can add click macros to the frames.

Take care.

The gripe from healers is that this makes them a target.  What any inexperienced PVP'er fails to realize is those of us who do DPS in PVP BG's (and arena's) target healers.  We look for those who are just standing there casting here and there.  We look at the battleground log to see who is marked as a healer, etc.

This addon does make it easier, but it's nothing we are not accustomed to finding out before the battleground even begins - or when we are sitting in a 30 second spawn.

This addon is awesome, it just makes this fat boy even lazier in game.  I have now more time to stuff my face with dorito's or whatever I am consuming rather than looking at the BG log to see who is or who isn't a healer.  My wife is a healer as well, so it's easy for me to keep tabs on her to help her out if need be (which is why my wife loves it).

To those of you who are crying about this, put on your big boy/girl pants and buck up.  Learn how to survive with some real PVP gear, learn how to kite, root, fear, whirlwind and anything else you can learn.  Learn how to pop a trinket to get out of snares, saps, etc and learn how to go invisible until needed and then RUN AWAY when you've done your job.  It will make your life easier.  If you can't figure it out, go ask someone for suggestions.  Google for it.  Use your head.  I understand that it doesn't take someone with a brain to play this game and only $15.00, but do a bit of research and you might find it a bit more enjoyable.

To the author of this addon - I salute you!  Thanks bro!

Just wondering, Ive ran a few Bgs now and I didnt notice the healer icon show up until players on my team set themselves as healers. Is it the same for the opposite team? I notice once I hovered over a shaman, he showed up as a healer, but not before I did that.

Maybe there's is a setting I need to check?

this addon checks the battlelog for specific spells.  It also waits until it hits a certain threshold from a caster before it marks them as a healer.  Just because a pally runs off to throw a heal on himself doesn't make him a healer.  It works as intended.

Whoever made this mod has basically ruined the aspect of being hidden as a healer. Not only has it made it almost impossible to escape from bad situations since everyone will be attacking you, but it makes it almost worthless to try and stay hidden because as soon as you do someone will see a huge cross above your head. Just wanted to tell you that in many ways you've ruined PvP in WoW and that I will no longer be rolling as a healer. Hope you'll consider this message! Bye. 

I rogue PvP and it takes me about 5 seconds to spot a healer without this addon.  Don't blame a program for your disinterest in playing a game.

a real weak arguement here bud.  This is only a solid arguement for those players in PVP that are not experienced at PVPing.  Those people, however aren't probably in epic PVP gear unless they bought their account - so if you fart on them they'll probably die.

This addon only gives you the same information you can look in logs for, which is what any experienced PVPer does anyhow.  You're a target from even before the BG starts just because you're resto.  Get used to it or roll a different toon.

I myself play a lock - locks are bigger targets than healers it seems, luckily I've learned how to survive.

A good pvp healer expects to be attacked and prepares for it. Use it to your advantage. If they are attacking you that means they are not attacking your teammates. Try and keep yourself alive until they have exhausted their cooldowns while your teammates burn them down. Then you can go back to healing everyone else.

Love the add-on but running into an issue with it.  I've been getting kicked off the server everytime I go into a BG or Arena.  After some trail and error this add-on has been doing it.  This has been happening since the DS patch.  Hoping you can fix it.

This addon is really good at doing what it does - many thanks Archarodim for creating and maintaining HhtD. =)

I would love to see an option to customize which class I want to track. For example, I have an obsessive hatred of rogues in pvp and being able to single them out in a group would be awesome!

I am currently having a problem with HHTD and some macros. It appears that the macros work as long as I do not have a healer targeted. If I attempt to use the macro while targetting a healer I only get a ding and the macro does nothing.

To illustrate, I targeted a holy paladin and used the following macro (it is a Devour Magic macro for my warlock):

/petattack
/cast [pet:Felhunter,target=player] Devour Magic
/targetlasttarget [pet:Felhunter]
/cast [pet:Felhunter] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:Felhunter,target=targettarget] Devour Magic
/targetlasttarget [pet:Felhunter]

All that happened is a ding sound. I then had to click my pets devour magic from the pet bar. I love the addon but it is becoming frustrating that some important macros seem to stop functioning against the healers that I am trying to kill. This issue do not occur against non-healers. Is there a work around for this issue?

I will alter the macro first and try it. If I get the same results I will try a battleground with the addon and see what the result is. Hopefully this will pinpoint the problem.

Is it a Addons perfec for the noob shit! hahaha Now the people can do a good game!

For the horde :D
