HealBot Continued Addon Guide

Players often refer to mouseover healing tools as “HealBot.” That’s because the original HealBot addon was the first of its kind: an addon that made it easy to bind your spells to mouse clicks, similar to using mouseover macros. It also came with highly customizable group unit frames to replace the default game ones. HealBot Continued carries on that legacy.

HealBot Continued and addons like it (such as VuhDo) are particularly popular among healers, who spend most of their time in group content interacting with unit frames. We’ll cover all of the addon’s options so you can set everything up exactly how you want it. But first, let’s get HealBot Continued installed!

Installing HealBot Continued

HealBot Continued is available to download on CurseForge, Wago, and WoWInterface. You can install it manually or by using the addon manager of your choice.

We have a separate guide for How to Install and Manage Addons, so go check that out if you need some help!

Setting Up HealBot Continued

Once you have HealBot Continued installed in your Addons folder, you’ll need to make sure it’s enabled in your game.

Start up World of Warcraft, and on your character selection screen, look for the AddOns button in the bottom left corner. Make sure that the following are enabled:

• HealBot
• HealBot Data
• HealBot Extra Skins
• HealBot Options
• HealBot Tooltips

Now load into the game and you should see some HealBot panels on your screen. You’re good to go!

Plugins for HealBot Continued

Before we start customizing HealBot Continued, there’s one more thing to go over. There are several plugins available to extend HealBot Continued – addons for your addon! You can find them on CurseForge or the HealBot Continued website (which links back to CurseForge for download). They are installed like any other addon, but they only work when HealBot Continued is installed. Here are a few notable ones:

• HealBot Plugin Extra Buttons: Adds more mouse binding options for MMO mice that have a lot of buttons.
• HealBot Plugin Threat: A threat meter that shows each group member’s threat based on their rather than your current target.
• HealBot Plugin MyCooldowns: Displays your cooldowns as progress bars.
• HealBot Plugin TimeToDie: Displays a meter with the current damage that is being taken by each player in your group and how long before they die at the current rate.
• HealBot Plugin TimeToLive: Displays a meter that tracks required, incoming, and pending resurrections.

Customizing HealBot Continued

If you’ve taken a look at HealBot Continued’s options yet, you might be feeling overwhelmed. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through what everything does.

HealBot Continued Chat Commands

Before we get into the menu, here are some chat commands to make customizing and troubleshooting easier.

• Type /hb h to display commands in the chat window
• Type /hb hs to display more commands in the chat window
• Type /hb or /hb o to display the options menu
• Type /hb t to toggle HealBot on or off
• Type /hb d to restore HealBot options to default

There are more commands that you can find by typing /hb h or /hb hs into the chat window. There is also a table of chat commands on the HealBot website, here. The ones listed above should be plenty to get you started.

HealBot Continued Options Menu

Now let’s look at the options menu. There are a lot of settings in here! Some of them are fairly straightforward while others require some explanation. We’ll go through section by section.

At the bottom of the menu are a few buttons that appear regardless of what page you are on. These are for restoring the addon’s default settings and reloading your UI.

Backup Your Healbot Continued Profile!

There’s nothing worse than spending hours on your interface and then having to start over from scratch. You may need to reinstall World of Warcraft for one reason or another, or some kind of error could reset your profile. Make sure you have a backup of your profile on a different hard drive or in cloud storage. You may also want to make a copy of your profile any time you’re going to make significant changes to it, so you can easily go back if you want to.

There are two ways to back up your HealBot Continued profile: you can either do it in the game, or using a script downloaded from the HealBot Continued website. We’ll cover both methods below.

Backing Up in the Game

To back up your profile in the game, go to the Import/Export section of the HealBot options menu. You have a few options at the top here for what you want to back up:

• Skins
• Custom Debuffs
• Custom Buffs
• Spells
• Preset Colors

You may want to come back and save each of these to be sure you have everything backed up. For now, choose Skins and select the skin you want to save. Click Export. This will give you a long text strong. Copy the entire thing and paste it into a text file or wherever you want to save your backup. If you need to restore your profile later, you can paste this string into the Import box on the same page.

Backing Up with the Windows Script

HealBot Continued has its own backup and restore script that you can run in Windows to easily back up your profile. You can download it from the Healbot Continued website here: Backup and Restore Healbot configuration.

Extract the zip file to your World of Warcraft _retail_ folder. By default this should be C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\WorldofWarcraft\_retail_. Double-click Backup_HealBot.bat to run it. Type B and boom, you have a backup!

To restore from a backup, you will use the same bat file and type R.
