- EDIT: 3/13/21, I uploaded a new version of this video that has more information and is hopefully more concise. Feel free to keep watching/referring to this one if you prefer it, though. :)
My WAs used: wago.io/p/FastCats
This video is for those who want to learn how to set up VuhDo and tweak it to suit their playstyle/aesthetic taste. This is a casual guide and moves slowly so that you can follow along while viewing if you like!
Edit 1/4/21: See my reply to the pinned comment to learn how to manage debuffs a bit. :) You can turn them on under Debuffs - Standard - Uncheck everything but "Icon." Doing this will show debuffs on your panels as well.
If you'd prefer a simpler explanation of how to set the add-on up right out of the box to begin playing, please see my other video (while it is intended for Classic WoW, if you ignore the parts about spell ranks it is still applicable to retail): • How to Set Up VuhDo (W...

Hey Thanks for The info I'm playing Resto Druid but I've never been using Vuhdo, I just picked a profile from a streamer profile, but the problem is that it shows eeeeeevery thing like prideful necrotic stacks and the other Debuff (in mythic plus there is a buff on every one that says upon everyone's death u will lose 5sec) On Players frame, to indicate this problem better, necrotic stacks will be shown on the top right where u have rejuvenation, prideful is near it and then the other Debuff so I cant see if the tank is at FULL HP on not ! idk if u get my problem or not :)
I think I understand the problem! I haven't done any M+ so I might have to play around with "Debuffs" in-game a bit more. This is part of the reason why I have my frames so big, though; so that I can still see health even when the panel is full of HoT icons and such! Have you tried making the icons smaller (the little slider under "HoT Icons")? That might help free up a bit more room for M+ play.
I'll try to play with it soon; my internet has been out for 48 hours at home so I can't check WoW at the moment. Also, if you could screenshot what it looks like for you that would be pretty helpful, too!
All right, I thought of some things you can look at/try. Go to the Debuffs tab (on the bottom), and then under the different buttons on the right, look at "Visuals." Here you can make the icons smaller and/or move the default location they appear at. By default VuhDo anchors them to the upper right but you can adjust where they sit on the X/Y axis as well as how big the icon for them is. I tested these two settings in BGs to get lots of debuffs flying and perhaps one of these will work for you! For both I made the scale .45x,
For five mans; this would anchor the debuffs to the right of your frames (so, outside of the frame box where Rejuv would show up, but centered vertically). This only works in 5 man content, I would imagine, as the debuffs would overlap in 10 man groups and look awful:
-anchored to the upper right,
-X axis at 36%,
-Y axis at 0%.
For raids/larger groups; it places the icons closer to the center of the frame (almost under the role icon):
-anchor to upper left,
-X axis at 50%,
-Y at 100%.
That said, if you otherwise like this setup you have, you can always ensure that the health percentage is showing and use that as a guideline (Panels tab -> text -> check the "SHOW" box under "Hitpoints" and select "percent."
@@fast_cats Hey ! Thanks again for the complete info :) it actually helped me a lot I played a bit with setting, I resized them and I checked "Only Dispellable Debuffs" and Its ok now ! it doesn't show prideful or the dungeon timer buff.. Again Thank you so much because Without this video and your help I couldn't even find this options xD
@@majedmk4799 You're welcome! I usually play with "only dispellable debuffs" up myself, mainly because if I can't dispel it, I don't want to have to think too much about it! I can see where it might be useful to see, say, stacks of Necrotic, but I don't think that playstyle is for me haha. Have a great day!
@@fast_cats Haha, ty for all the info, is there any way that I can have your btag or discord ? cuz im tired of using others profile and with this guide im gonna make a clean UI, so I might need help a bit :)
"I do not push mythic plus, instead I'm pushing middle age."
Beautiful. I feel this at 27.
It's sad, but it's true! Haha!!
that line made me like and subscribe lol.
It's been almost 2 years, and still this guide rocks!
been away 2 1/2 years & dipping my toe back into wow. completely forgot how to set up my old vuhdo for my holy priest & this vid was a massive help. many thanks & a belated happy new year ;)
2 years later and this helped me so much. It looks so much cleaner now. thank you!
That slow-motion death scene sure got me laughing, thank you very much for the helpful guide! I never knew this add-on existed and I am enjoying healing a whole lot more!.
Hahaha, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this addon. It makes healing so much fun, honestly. I don't think I'd enjoy healing half so much without it!
Helped me a lot! Thank you so much for taking your time in explaining! Have a good day miss!
Thank you for this. Got tired of HealBot breaking all of the time and thought I'd try VuhDo. Your video taught me exactly how to set it up and healing will be so easy now!
I'm glad it helped you out! Best of luck out here healing .
Hey. Thanks for the video. I have installed VuhDo and have got completely overwhelmed by multiple panels, tabs, horizontal vertical scrollers etc. You explained pretty much all that is needed to carry on.
You're very welcome! I'm glad it seems to have helped you. :>
Late to the party, just started a Holy Priest as my first character. This video has been MORE than helpful! Much love from a fellow poor genetics player!
I've been using addons and watching tutorials for over a decade and a half and have been trying to get into VuhDo since wrath of the lich king and this is by far the best VuhDo tutorial I've seen.
There's still a few things that grinds my gears about VuhDo but after this video I now feel comfortable enough to make the switch and start using it for higher keys and our raid progression :)
Wow, thank you so much! I noticed there weren't a lot of simplistic "from the ground up" types of tutorials out there, so I'm very happy so many people find it useful. :) Happy healing!
Great video, thank you for making it. I liked this version much better than the later version that you made. This one is much more comprehensive.
Thanks so much, Chris! I'm glad you like it. I had a feeling some people might prefer it still. :)
just started healing in wrath classic, this guide was insanely helpful!
Thx so much for the help! Even a year plus lately this guide is still helpful :)
"simplistic "from the ground up" types of tutorials" are definitely rare, if at all available. I'm in the position of how do I chose where what goes and such? I've downloaded the addon but have never ever deployed it because the very first time I did, there were all kinds of things all over my screen that I had no idea what to do with. So wish me luck in trying it again. However, coming into your play with it already setup and being used is rather intimidating for me. I am so glad you started with a fresh character to show how to set it up. Thank you very much.
I agree. It's really sad how few simple guides there are for VuhDo. I could do an even simpler version than this, though I feel like my version for "Classic" pretty much fills that void. You could theoretically skip the frame setup and go straight to adding in spells and which HoTs you want to see and be done with setup in less than 10 minutes.
I hope you managed to get things set up for yourself and that it's working well for you! If you have any questions please feel free to let me know. I'm not always able to get an answer but I do try!
All the tips were phenomenal. And learning where to get rid of that obnoxious red dot! Life saved!
Very helpful, thank you. I'm new to WoW playing resto shaman and was looking for a good vuhdo guide
Thank you so very much. This video was fabulous, and so very helpful. You have my gratitude. Happy adventures.
Hey! Just wanna say you helped me out alot! Took a break from WoW for years and nowI feel like I can come back and still be that awesome healer/tank (3rd tank i EU hihi) I once was! :D Great guide! Thx alot VohDo & especially you FastCasts! //Herph (Sweden, Stockholm)
Aw, thank you! Happy healing & tanking, Marcus! :)
Learned something and had a laugh. Many thanks. Subbed.
Excellent video; supremely useful. Also, I finally found a solution to the mess of minimap buttons, thanks to this video. Thank you!
3 years later this is still a great video (the only difference is the more function under panels HoT Icons) but amazing for someone feeling overwhelmed swapping to this from new default frames
Thank you for the help. Super clear, helpful, even a little funny at times. It had been a while since I had to revamp my vuhdo setup. Thank you.
Best of luck revamping.
Great tutorial, helped me alot! Thanks for taking your time to help the wow community!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great guide!
hahaha the epic slowmo death got me! new to your channel and def staying, great content :)!
This video helped a lot to setup vuhdo! Just for m+ also found the video for the affixes that helps a lot with grievous since Necrotic is going away in Dragonflight!
Thank you! I had no idea necrotic was going away in DF! That's good news; it was a pain in the neck for both tanks and healers.
Healbot update screwed me, found this video and thank goodness. Thank you.
Thank you! You explained something to me that I was banging my head against the wall with. Thank you!! 👍👍
thank you so much! i've been using it for years but it's been so frustrating at times to get it to look and work the way i wanted to! ♥
Hey, I think I recognize you from Tumblr and an old fandom of mine! I've definitely struggled with this addon a lot in the past, but hopefully you'll be able to figure out how to get it to do what you want! If not, you can ask me and we can figure it out together; I'm always down to learn more, too. :D Have a great 2021!
@@fast_cats ooo fellow tumblr user :D ♥ Have a great 2021 too! stay healthy!!
Thank you, this is an excellent tutorial. Appreciated!
Really nice video and thanks for all the information :-)
Excellent and very entertaining guide! I just started playing Holy Paladin and this helps very much :D
I'm really glad this helped you out. Have fun with your hpal!
Thanks you, It helped a lot, i never knew how it worked
Thanks a lot for this guide keep doing videos are pretty good and you are a good comunicator
Thank you. I have used VuhDo before but dropped it because it was a pain to configure other than my spells. One of the things I discovered is that when setting up the healing spells you can drag the spell from your Spell Book and drop it off in the slot and it will type it for you :D. Also I have multiple healers and after spending time setting up all the sizing and layout I saved the profile in the Tools tab and copied it over to my Shaman. But this breakdown was great because I was fighting every other option trying to figure out how to size and color everything. Recommended the video to a couple of my other friends also arguing with VuhDo.
That's a great tip, I had no idea you could drag the spells from your spellbook! I also keep my profile saved for my many, and even have it set to default on any new characters I create.
thanks so mutch for this, 28 min and ill know everything i need to know :D perfect vid .
Such a nice video! Thank you for making is so interesting and fun!
Thank you for stopping by! :)
@@fast_cats I'm using VuhDo in TBC dungeons now, and it is working beautifully! Thanks again for showing me the way!
So organized and manageable. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much, i really needed this.
You're welcome, I hope it helps you out! :)
this should be a mandatory watch for anyone wanting to make an add on tutorial. it is excellent
Thank you very much! :)
this video is just to the point, thank you
Solid guide. Thank you so much.
ty ty ty. i needed a refresh and this video helped alot.
🥰🥰
man! ty ty ty i had forgot how to set up the hot icons lmao had not played in a while but thanks to this video i remember now!
Awesome, happy to be of help! Happy healing! :)
This video helped A LOT ! Thank you so much !!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
This was so infinitely helpful, thank you!!
I'm glad you found it useful! Take care and have a great day. :)
This was actually mad helpful, good job and thank you!
Going to try setting up my own again when I'm at my pc next. New resto druid so this hopefully will help me as much as I think it is.
You're welcome! I hope it does help. :) If you have any questions feel free to ask and I can try to help. I'm always playing with the sizing and placement of my bars, so it might take a little fiddling to get things where you want them, but you'll definitely get there before you know it! Happy healing! ♥
@@fast_cats just got home, that was stupidly easy to do, thank you for this. the other tutorial i seen was 1hr long.
Thank you so much. Helped me a lot.
Hi, i use Vuhdo for many years and I learned a few tips! Thank you! but you should have touched the debuffs section as well :D
Hi, thanks for watching! Yeah, maybe in a future video I'll talk about debuffs. They're more complicated than the basics and not really necessary for anything outside of M+ or higher-end raiding, so I didn't bother to include them here, but they definitely could use their own video!
Thank you so much video was so helpful .
Awesome video !! Great voice too :)
thank you ! this guide helped me a lot ^^
I'm glad. Have fun!
Thank you so much for the info around 20 minutes. I'm so picky with HoT's on frames.
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it useful! I'm picky about how things look on the frames, too. :)
Thank you very much for this. You have a great voice too btw
Thank you! I hope this was useful to you. :) Have a great day!
Hey it's me again! Thanks for the omnicd add on. I don't push mythic+ either but omnicd helps me in normal dungeons for tanks knowing when they popped a defensive cooldown that way I know when to spam heal them or not lol. Btw what's your favorite healer to play/heal as :)
You're welcome! OmniCD is incredibly useful no matter your level of play. Even if you're not super familiar with every class in the game (as I am), you can at least see that *something* was used, and that helps you react accordingly.
As to my favorite healer, I rank them something like this: resto shaman >> resto druid, > holy priest > holy paladin/disc priest >> mistweaver monk. I'm not the type to play things that are "on meta" but I mained resto shaman for years, and the benefit of the class is mostly that it doesn't change too much. Not only does resto shaman feel like it has an answer to everything, but the numbers are very satisfying right now with any covenant choice.
Resto druid feels really good, especially in a decent group, but does feel a bit hectic when you're in a pug where the tank doesn't have a lot of mitigation options or simply isn't great at tanking. While a shaman can just spam heal without issue, druids aren't so great at that. Had a leveling HoA where I ended up leaving because the tank tried to pull too big and our dps wasn't high enough for me to heal through Thrash + a billion adds endlessly--especially when the animated sins were flocking to me like moths to the flame!! Spamming Regrowth just isn't very good, so you try to blanket the team in HoTs/convoke/tranq but then you don't have an answer for the next pull.
If I concentrate on holy priest for a bit, I start getting super comfortable with it. It has a lot of potential and especially in a group where people are standing closer together on a regular basis, PoM and HW:S feel nice.
Hpal and Discpriest feel similarly to me. They are both excellent healers but not great for pug healing--which is all I do. Paladin can carry a bit more in this department because they do have a lot of cooldowns to assist the group (BoS, BoP, bubble, LotM, wings) but if disc falls behind they're stuck just spamming shadow mends and praying the dps can take down the boss/adds before they run out of mana. I'm experimenting with different holy paladin builds to see if I can find something more pug friendly that isn't quite so reliant on me always being in melee (mostly looking at a Light of the Martyr build, which is kind of dangerous to use in close melee), but the character just hit 50 yesterday so I'll work on that soon and see if I can find something I like that isn't the clunky glimmer build. (Disclaimer: Glimmer is great in a coordinated group, not so much in pugs sometimes.)
Mistweaver is quite fun and has good utility, but every spell takes up so much mana that I can't rank it higher. :)
What about you? Who is your favorite to use?
@@fast_cats i like resto shaman due to the fact it has a interrupt, and the mana usage is fairly low, im going through the shadow lands campaign now on my resto shaman just got out of the maw introduction and landed in oribos. as for 2nd place i think that's gonna have to go to discipline priest i like the fact of having to deal damage for healing injured allies/foes it makes healing less boring and i like to compete with dps for the meters to see who did the most damage! 3rd place is holy paladin just because its the tankyest of all the healers and it can take the most damage due to the fact that they wear plate armor, makes me feel safe in hard hitting situations. 4th place is restoration druid the only reason why its ranked so low in the list is because i feel like there HPS was a lot higher in BFA i could cast 2-3 HoT's on a party member and they would go to full life in a matter of seconds. i think blizzard nerfed resto druids to the ground in shadow lands. as of now it requires all HoT's and than some more! just to even get them to half health. 5th place is Mistweaver monk just due to the mana issues...blizz if your reading this..hey! show them some love and let them cast some skills before having to take a drink from a mage!
Cheers hen, helped me a bunch.
amazing guide. thank you :)
Thank you so much for this!
it helped me to start using the addon in 2022 .. .thanks
Really nice video, thank you. I also lost the genetic lottery lol. Subbed
thanks for this, just installed as a healbot alternative, just got back into wow and for some reason my healbot was so messed up beyond repair it was unuseable..yes it was up to date, and i tried almost everything, i like this addon a lot more anyways lol
Sorry to hear about your Healbot. It always sucks when an addon you know and enjoy using breaks beyond repair. I hope VuhDo works out well for you! Happy healing!
Hi! Subscribed to you, video was great! Wonderful job !
My question for you is, what is the addon that shows you the main spells in the middle of the screen with the beautiful orange circle spinning around?
Hi, that is a WeakAura I made. I don't have them publicly available because I'd like to make sure they work better before I do (with different talent setups and stuff), but you can see where I got the idea on Growl's wago: wago.io/qNqDKuFyf
If I ever do get around to uploading them, I'll be doing that here: wago.io/p/FastCats.
Thanks for watching!
i have 1 question
in the video of your gameplay how do we show the icons of buffs to the left of the HP bars?
If you're talking about the five little vertical buttons, that's actually something totally separate. I have really bad arthritis so I do have to click some spells. That's just another bar I put there from Dominos so that it's close enough to the bars I can click on them while also healing! If you mean the horizontal bar beneath my characters, that's a WeakAura.
If you want to show cooldowns for other people's abilities next to your health bars, there's an addon called OmniCD that does that. I started using it recently and I really like it, because it shows when, say, the prot warrior tank is using Ignore Pain/shield block/shield wall, and you can also see when it's on cooldown.
@@fast_cats Hi there! Thanks for your very informative video. I have a problem though. My OmniCd addon does not work with Vuhdo. I just don't know why, it does not appear when I "TEST" it with Vuhdo. However, it works when Vuhdo is disabled and I use Grid2 instead. Is there some setting or dependency that I'm missing? Or are you able to share your OmniCd profile? Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!
@@ngzhiwei4230 I had to really fiddle with Omni CD to get it to work. Make sure you go into the different "types" of situations you might use it (battlegrounds, dungeons, solo, etc) and mess with it there. By default it only works in groups, specifically instanced content, so there's no easy way to "test" it outside of that (which is very frustrating). I just made sure it was on by default in all content except battlegrounds (I don't want cooldowns for 40 people to show up in AV, for example) and that worked for me. Best of luck!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much you are so great!
What UI frame are you using? Great tutorial! I've used Healbot for yeats, but lately there's been a problem with it not allowing certain spells to be placed on anyone, so they go on me instead. Your tutorial has convinced me to try it out!
Thank you! I am using Shadowed Unit Frames in this one for my player/target frames. Best of luck, I hope you enjoy using VuhDo! :D
Hello, super helpful video. Is there a way to remove party members CDs that display on the left hand side? I prefer to track them through WAs and don't want the clutter on my VuhDo frames. Thank you!
Hi, Mark! If you're talking about the 5 buttons that appear just to the left of the VuhDo frames, that isn't actually a part of VuhDo. That's just one of my action bars. :)
I LOVE YOU!!!! thanks for the video
Your username is so cuuuute. Thanks so much tinybeehug
@@fast_cats
Good guide. Thank you!
I'm happy you found it useful. :)
Hi , you should do a UI and addon setup! Like how yours looks! thanks for the guide :)
Glad the guide was useful! Maybe someday I'll do a UI setup video. :D I'm working on editing a zero to KSM video series right now, but after that it's totally possible!
great easy to understand. awesome job.
Thanks much! Glad it works. :)
Great video, thank you. I've been trying to get Vuhdo working (for me) for a while, and watched quite a few guides, but they always seem to start with "Import my profile"! I hope you were planning to boost the Druid anyway and didn't spend the boost just to helps us all out though!
You're welcome! I hope it helps you out. I don't link to my profile because I view downloading a profile similarly to using someone else's TSM strings or a rotation addon; the *why* is oftentimes pretty important and an understanding of that 'why' can give you more knowledge moving forward, which should help you customize an addon like VuhDo to your personal tastes/needs.
As to the druid, I definitely don't need another (I have like...seven...of them...oops) but I'm always down for more druids and the boosting service had a sale going anyway. c: Let me know if you run into any issues and I'll try to help!
@@fast_cats I think I got everything as I wanted last night... except one piece of functionality I think Blizzard have stopped! It seems I can macro Efflorescence to drop at my feet [@player] but none of the other targeting options such as [@target] or [@focus] which would have been really useful! Set tank as focus and then I have the choice to drop it on tank for Melees or at my feet for ranged!
If anyone does know a way to do that I would be interested :)
@@davidovenden3246 I'll look into this when I get home from work and can play around with things. I did read up a bit about it online and it seems @player is pretty common as well as @cursor for spells like this, but nobody is doing @focus. I'll keep digging to see what I can find, though! I've always keybound it (to G as you can see in my video; I use R for Healing Rain on my shaman) and clicked again to place it, but it WOULD be way more convenient to be able to place it under your focus target. I'll also ask some resto druid mains how they manage efflo as well!
@@fast_cats Searching google appears to say that Blizzard removed the functionality at some point :(
@@davidovenden3246 Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing; it looks like maybe 2017 where they took it out and only allow @cursor and @player. That's really unfortunate. I don't care much for @cursor because iirc the circle doesn't appear and I like to know exactly where I'm putting something down/don't trust the game to place things well (I think we've all tried to put a targeted spell down on the ground and it ended up in the air somewhere...ugh).
Hello, thank you for the video, very easy to follow! What's the addon you have below showing your spells?
You're most welcome! If you're curious about my addons, go to my most recent video (it's an updated VuhDo guide); you can skip to the end where I list the addons I'm using. The thing with the spinning wheel that has my cooldowns is a WeakAura I made, my castbar addon is Quartz, and my bars below that are a Dominos setup.
Awesome to find another who plays WoW and is also part of the alphabet soup pot.. and sadly even also share the "our joints are traitors".
I'm loving your UI setup. Could it be possible that you might at some point go though what you use and how you set it up?
I'm especially curious about the bar down under your toon. How does it work, what addon and it's function?
Also impressed you can keep track of the enemy nameplates. I always need them bigger, because apparently I should have been born a mole :P
Hi Ida! Good to meet you! I'm glad you like the UI setup; I'd be happy to go through my addons and show how to set things up, though I will admit that since I made this video I've been on a UI overhauling spree. My current UI looks like this: imgur.com/a/xJmiv4n and I'm constantly working to try and improve it. If you'd still like a little walkthrough feel free to let me know and I could put something together.
The fancy bar under my character is a WeakAura that I use for showing cooldowns so that I don't have to look all the way down at my bars to see if an ability is off cooldown. It's probably 50% function and 50% aesthetics, though.
As to the nameplates, there are times I wish they were bigger, but I also sit pretty close to my screen (I know, this is terrible to do), so I can still see them without wearing my glasses. I need to remember to force them to stack on all my alts, though, because overlapping plates are extremely chaotic.
Thank you for this. This has helped me a lot in terms of general knowledge. However, I do often switch talents (soul of the forest and incarnation) and this seems to mess up my Vuhdo. Any suggestions? Do I need to change the spell name in VuhDo?
If you switch talents you have two options. One is to just change the names of the talents as you switch them in VuhDo (when applicable). The other is to make a separate key layout for each talent setup, and switch key layouts when you switch talents. I know that key layouts can be set to auto-switch with specs, but I don't know about talents. Definitely check it out! They're under Tools -> Key Layouts. I'd recommend just naming each key layout after the talent in question to make it easy to remember. :) Hope that helps!
I just came back to WoW after a year off and learning Vuhdo. Your video is so helpful after coming back. How do you set up your own character and enemy's plate to look like yours? Also, I seen that addon for spell you use in the middle of the screen, can you let me know the name of it? Thank you so much!
The big thing of spells in the middle of my screen is a WeakAura. I'm not using those anymore (as of currently writing this reply), but you can find lots of WeakAuras similar to it on wago.io! My character and enemy frames are Shadowed Unit Frames (I just chose not to show some information on the player/target frames). For nameplates for enemies I use TidyPlates default out of the box.
@@fast_cats Thank you so much. Many months ago, one of window's update did something to my computer; and I had to reformat my entire hard drive. I was able to keep the basic but lost my entire WoW files and all addons stored in the partition.
Hi - quick question! How do you remember what keybinds/mouse click binds are what? I usually use healbot but want to use vuhoo. Healbot when you hover over frame is has a little info box that tells you which mouse clicks are assigned (inc shift, alt etc). I can’t find this with vuhdo
Hi there! Depending on your class it can be easy to memorize. I think hpal is the hardest to do just because you have SO MANY SPELLS that can be cast on other people! But in general I tend to assign keybinds/clicks on all my healers that feel "similar" -- which I realize is totally arbitrary and probably confusing, so let me try to explain. This has been my method since Cataclysm, when all healers had the same types of heals: so a slow efficient heal, a very slow huge heal, and a fast expensive heal. Back then, it was easy to jump from healer to healer, because everyone had a selection of abilities that felt "familiar." That isn't quite the case these days, but my method is...kind of a holdover from those days.
So left click: my spammable heal. This would include Healing Wave, Heal, Holy Light, Vivify, Shadow Mend, Regrowth.
Right click: another heal I use a lot, usually a utility heal: Chain Heal, Prayer of Mending, Word of Glory, Soothing Mist, Penance, Rejuvenation.
Shift left click: fast or expensive heal: Healing Surge, Flash Heal, Flash of Light, Enveloping Mists, (Power Infusion, since disc doesn't have a heal that matches), Swiftmend.
Shift right click: dispel! for every healer! (This way no matter what character I'm on, I know what my cleanse/dispel button is!)
Ctrl+left click is for defensives (Guardian Spirit, Pain Sup, Ironbark, etc)
Wheel up: Earth Shield, Power Word: Shield, Beacon, (Nothing for MW), Cenarion Ward
Wheel down: Riptide, Renew, Holy Shock, Renewing Mists, Lifebloom
Sometimes I wander into the shift wheel up/down (Unleash Life, Blessing of Seasons) or the alt+clicks (paladin blessings) but moooost of the time I can get the bulk on my spells in with just left/right click + shift and control modifiers, plus the wheel up and down buttons. Any other type of spell (Efflo, Healing Rain, Cloudburst, Wild Growth, Light of Dawn, Healing Circle, etc) gets bound to keyboard buttons as I tend to cast on the ground or off of me.
I don't think VuhDo has an option to show what is assigned the way that Healbot does--at least, I've never seen an option like that. But in my experience it's just a matter of "practice makes perfect." The best way to get used to your keybinds in a low risk environment is to queue for battlegrounds and try them out there. Raid Finder is also an option that's less risky. There's also the "just stand there and spam heals on your own frame and build muscle memory" but it's not as fun. ;P
Sorry this ended up so long. I hope it helped at least a little!
Very helpful! Thnx alot
ty for the video , helped me alot
Hey, what's the name of add-on that makes this beauty section of spells an be action bars? Can't find it
You are amazing. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, very helpfull :)
@FastCats
Do you have any idea how to customize the positioning of the hots?
At 16:03 you have chosen the second "hots-preset" (or whatever we want to call it). Obviously as a druid who wants to track his hots, the positioning of the hots preset is absolutely useless. Now, of course I could play around and use the specific number in order to choose the location of my hots on my frames.
The issue I am having is: I want at the position of #4, my hots shall appear from right (border) to the left (all the way to the #5)
I must be missing something because I can not imagine the guy who made this addon absolutely skipped a basic setting like this :/
I basically want a simple hot distribution which appeals to me. Kinda like this:
Bottom right (going left): several hots but not overlapping, in form of icons.
Top right (going left): defensives which I set myself via bouquets and these should be displayed in form of icons.
Middle of the frame is kinda irrelevant atm.
Bottom left (going right): debuff icons which I set up myself as well.
Now I found the settings for everything except for how to position all these icons the way I want to on the frames/bars. Does it make sense?
Like this kinda: imgur.com/QzK5SVs
I understand what you're saying, but unfortunately I have no idea how to pull that off. I've always used the hot presets even with all my druid healers; it's never been an issue for me. Maybe you can mess around with the section right above the "presets" where it gives you other positions as options? I'd fiddle with it, but I'm not currently playing. I do think a different healing addon does what you're describing, but I can't for the life of me think of what it is. Maybe you could try asking on the WoW subreddit? I would imagine someone there would have an idea. If you don't feel super comfortable posting randomly, they do a Midweek Mending thread on Wednesdays that might be good for it, too. :)
Good luck!
@@fast_cats Thank you for your response. The section aove the presets does indeed do what I want, unfortunately only for one category. Basically I have to choose if I either use my hots or bouquets. The only workaround I found to make it work, was to remove bouquets and replace it with my own made weakauras. I was looknig for hours on the internet if anyone knows how to adjust the positioning, I just couldn't imagine the guys who made this addon forgot to implement such a basic setting.
great video - thanks!
You're welcome!
what a god send of a video.
I might actually go through vuhdo and set it up after watching this.
In the past, I have installed it, seen the UI and was like: nah...not subjecting myself to this torment.
I hope you do give it a try! If you need any help just comment here and I'll see if I can offer any insight. :) I'll admit I got lucky. Back in Wrath when I installed VuhDo for the first time, it was at the suggestion of my younger brother who was already an avid raid healer, so he showed me how to set things up in person. I hope you have an easy time setting it up while following along with this video. Happy healing!
What weakaura are you using for your ability indicators under your toon. I like the aesthetics of it.
Hi! My weakaura is based on Growl's WA that you can find here: wago.io/qNqDKuFyf
His is for resto druids so if you play that spec you can just use his WA. I've modified that WeakAura for most of the classes/specs I play in a way I like better, but I don't have them uploaded anywhere. If I ever get them cleaned up I might make them publicly accessible though!
Hi Thanks for the video. I was looking for profile setting but could not find in the video. I was playing disc and now wanted to test Holy but I don't want to change everything when I change specs. I tried profiles tab could not figure out. Any idea about it?
Oooh...I haven't done that in years because I'm an altoholic. If I'm remembering correctly the 'profiles' tab only says your frame look and layout, so to save your spell layouts you can go to ... Tools -> Key Layouts. You should have to pick a name and there used to be a checkbox for loading in specific specs, so if that's still there, try that.
This way you can switch back to disc whenever you want and you can go back to the same keybinds you were using before without having to re-enter them all.
Good morning! Would you be comfortable sending/posting your export profile settings for your Evoker?
Hi! I gotta be honest, I just picked up Evoker on Tuesday and have only healed the Uldaman dungeon with it once in a blind panicked haze; I don't really have anything to export yet, and unfortunately don't know when I will. :( I could export the panel size/shape/etc settings for you, but keybinds/debuffs/etc is not something worthwhile imo.
@@fast_cats I'll take it! I apprecaite the reply!
@@ryanymaster Let's see if this export works! You'll go to the Tools tab and then hit Import, and hopefully things look correct. I have adjusted the size of my frames since the video here to make them a bit smaller, and if you raid you might want to adjust other things (height/width, text) to be more suitable for the group size you run with. Let me know if it doesn't work lol!
wago.io/zmflcsaex
Hey FC! I love your vid! I have a question. What is the addon that's sitting right below your toon? It looks like it shows CD's, but I'm not sure. I run Holy Pally so I'm not familiar with resto. TYSM for your breakdown of Vuhdo!
Hi there, thank you! That's a WeakAura. You'll need the WeakAuras addon and you can import what I'm using here: wago.io/p/FastCats
I no longer use these for myself (I just moved my bars up instead) so they do need some fine-tuning for Dragonflight, but you can find other similar addons if you're looking for something more plug-n-play on the Wago.io website!
@@fast_cats Thanks so much! My gosh, I'm having so much trouble with weak auras lol. I tried downloading some holy pally strings from that website and have been having trouble setting up the minute details.
For instance, one of the auras was for cds but it only shows up when I'm in melee. I've been trying to figure out how to set it up so it's on in combat period, by nothing seems to work. So dang complicated!
I'm totally where you're at mentally lol. 40yrs old, bipolar, diabetic and tired. My glass spills over after so much information gets into it!
@@asteriosanagnostou3243 I started very small with WeakAuras and only used the same 2 basic formats for them (cooldowns & buffs)...mostly so I wouldn't have to learn too much! LOL. It was a hard decision to stop using mine because I liked them visually but felt I was just reiterating information that was on my bars already, and decided to just move my bars up to make cooldowns more visible at a glance (and then also clickable if I was doing anything mindlessly). I just logged into Dragonflight yesterday to really play, so I haven't done much yet, but I did turn off a bunch of addons and decided to rely more heavily on the base UI. Don't get me wrong, though, some WAs are really useful (like the one that I use when Hammer of Wrath is available, for example) but I think it gets easy to overdo it.
@@fast_cats yeah for sure I get that. Well, I used to have my bars closer to my toon until I tried getting this to work. I move the bars below the raid frames. I used to have the frames to the left of my toon.
Hmmm, maybe I should just move them back over there and move the bars back up there, idk.
I used to use TellMeWhen for ret, but the nice thing about it was that it wouldn't display when I was in Holy. Now, it displays, but nothing useful haha. Just a bunch of seemingly random icons. So, I stopped using that.
I'll play around with it some more. This all started because since the exp, my numbers have fallen significantly in rbgs and I don't know why. So I started looking into things that could help me better keep track of this stuff. Prrrfttt.
Well hey, thanks again for replying! I'll definitely take your advice on trying to keep the ui simple. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@asteriosanagnostou3243 I wish I could offer more advice, RBGs are definitely not something I've ever tried (they do sound really fun though). Hopefully you can figure out something that works better for you! I hope you have a lovely holiday weekend; take care! :)
Now that I've been using Vuhdo for resto shaman raid healing, I've started to do smaller groups (reg/m+ dungeons) as well. My problem: for some reason when I save a heal setup w/the bar configuration I want, it seems to forget what its was set for and either gives me a screen full of character boxes or only one. I tend to want to use a particular setup with several different box configurations, but find I have to do those manually just before we start...every. single. time. So I can't see where Vuhdo can save both the heal setup and the box/row configurations together.
Why can't a raid heal setup save the box/row configuration necessary? and...why does a small 5-man group have to be done manually, because nothing stays with it when I design a M setup? I can't find anything anywhere that shows me how to save my raid healing setup that keeps the player box/row setup designed for the raid size I chose. The same happens when I chose my M+ healing setup where all the player boxes never show up and I have to manually redo the setup I had wanted for a 5-man group.
Is there any way to save a profile that includes both the healing setup and the group sizing together so all I have to do is click on the appropriate saved profile to get exactly what I want?
Hi there! My brain is a bit fried so apologies in advance for that. I personally only switch profiles for large group content (raid group sized), but my key setups are the same across the board. I just upload my raid profile when I queue into an epic battleground, for example, and when I get into a M+ group I change the profile back to my main one. Are you utilizing the different profiles and it's still not saving your configuration?
Also, can I ask what type of configuration you're going for? Like is your M+ setup horizontal and your raid setup vertical and those types of settings are not saving with the profile?
Might be a stretch but do you know how to get spells to be listed when highlighting someone? Kind of like what healbot did?
I've never used healbot so I'm not sure what this means exactly. It doesn't sound like anything I've used VuhDo for, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. Do you have any clips of someone doing what you're looking for with healbot so that I can see what you mean?
Thanks is a great video. Have a question, your mini map 🗺 is like a square ¿how you do that? Thanks 😊
That's an addon called SexyMap! I've set it to "Simple Square" I think, but there's a "Wooden Square" option that's nice, too.
Hi fast cats Im healer new kind of. What is that addon you are using It has 7 spells 7 slots Your cast bar is just under it hope you can help thanks.
Hi there! That is a WeakAura! You can find them here, but they were not updated for Dragonflight: wago.io/p/FastCats
@@fast_cats thank you so much :-)
I'm trying to set this up for my holy priest but I'm not sure what spells to put where and specially for the modifier keys..I need to add that I'm new to holy priest we really love to have some help on this.
Hi there! It can be tricky to know where to start, especially if this is your first healer and your first time using a healing addon like this. Here's how my holy priest is set up: you could try it and see if it works for you!
(No modifier key) - Wheel up: Power Word: Shield, Wheel down: Renew, Left Click: Heal, Right Click: Prayer of Mending
(Ctrl modifier) - Left Click: Holy Word: Serenity, Right Click: Guardian Spirit
(Shift Modifier) - Left Click: Flash Heal, Right Click: Purify
(Alt Modifier) - Both left and Right Click: Power Infusion
For non-vuh Spells:
1-smite
2-sw:pain
3-holy fire
4- chastise
5-boon of the ascended (kyrian only)
6-power word death
x-dispel magic
wheel up - powerword: shield (to use on myself on the go)
wheel down - circle of healing
shift wheel up - holy word: sanctify
shift wheel down - prayer of healing
f-leap of faith
r-divine star
g-holy nova
t-angelic feather
I set my drink to F3 (which for me is bound to a mouse button) and F12 (another mouse button bind) for power word fortitude. I don't play my holy priest too often, so I'm pretty sure if I was really trying hard to push keys with her, I'd move some binds around (like Power Word: Fortitude, which could be clicked at the start of a dungeon and doesn't need to be bound).
What I try to do on all my healers is: come up with a pattern and try to stick with it. So, my cheaper, slower heal is always a leftclick with no modifer (heal, healing wave, holy light, vivify, shadow mend) and my fast, more expensive heal is a left click with a shift modifier (flash heal, healing surge, flash of light, enveloping mist). Every single healer dispels with shift-right click (so no matter who I'm on, I always know what my dispel button is).
My keybinds make sense to me, but you might find as you play that something different works better for you than what works for me. My holy priest doesn't see any M+ while my resto shaman is much more likely to, so I try not to overload my holy priest with keybinds I won't remember if I don't play her for three weeks, and keep things simple enough that I'll be able to pick it back up whenever I like. If your hpriest is your main, or an alt you're serious about, you might find that binding more things (or doing it differently) feels better. Try a few things out and see how it goes!
I'm a holy priest tempted to try out Disc Priest,. I just want to save my setup for holy priest and disc priest in a seperate profile but currently I can't do that.. is that an option on vuhdo?
Hi there! I had someone on my other video ask the same question. Unfortunately I'm not subscribed right now so I can't do a video showing off how to do this, but:
1.) You can save the look of your bars by picking a profile name & saving it (I think my other video might go over how to do this, but it's pretty straightforward), and then on a character you want to use it on, go to the profile section and select it and press "Apply." Again, this saves/uses the look of your bars (height/width/textures/et cetera).
2.) To save your keybinds (for example, for dual spec) you can go to Tools -> Key Layouts. You should have to pick a name for it. If I'm remembering correctly, there should be a checkbox for loading in specific specs, too, to let you switch effortlessly between holy and disc on the same character without having to redo all your keybinds!
Let me know if it works out for you. :D Happy Healing!
Im pushing middle ago too. I feel you sister.
What addon are u using that changes your characters health and mana along with targets UI?
Check out my more recent version of this video--toward the end I go through and label all my addons. I think it's timestamped so hopefully you'll find the one(s) you want by watching that little section. (My guess from what you said is that you mean Shadowed Unit Frames but just in case I'm not understanding you, that's an option for you!)
great video, How do I lock the panel bars?
