Vuhdo VS. Mouseover Macros for Healers! *THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE WALK THROUGH OF VUHDO*

- In this video I go over the Pros and Cons of both Vuhdo as a Healing Addon, and Mouseover Macros for Healing. One is far more preferred than the other at the top end....and in this video I explain why.
***This video is meant to be a very basic explanation of why many top healers *prefer MouseOver Macros. This is not meant to be an all-inclusive guide/walk through of Vuhdo.
The macros I showed in the video:
(feel free to copy and paste these into your Macro box in game and simply replace the spell names with which ever spell you want to use)
#showtooltip Nature's Cure
/cast [@mouseover] Nature's Cure
#showtooltip Lifebloom
/cast [@mouseover] Lifebloom
#showtooltip Lifebloom
/cast [@mouseover, help] Lifebloom
/cast [@mouseover, harm] Sunfire
#showtooltip Rejuvenation
/cast [@mouseover, help] Rejuvenation
/cast [@mouseover, harm] Moonfire
mouseover macro's are working but not on wuhdo party frames how can i make it work ?
An obvious advantage of mouseover macros is not worrying about addon updates with game patches. Mouseover macros generally continue working as intended when add-ons don't.
Yeah absolutely. I still think add-ons are amazing and add alot to the game, I just love the usefulness and flexibility of macros.
Why do you take a reductive stance? Combining Vuhdo (or similar addons) with macros is more beneficial and effective than using only one or the other.
On a more critical note; you're really selling Vuhdo's functionality short by omitting its more advanced options like bouquets or tracking and displaying pretty much every external information that might even be slightly relevant for a healer. Summarising Vuhdo's advantages as "you can still be a clicker" makes you seem pretty biased.
I stated a number of times through out the video that Vuhdo did alot of different things and allowed for a ton of customization and options and that my viewers were free to play around with those options at their leisure.
I provided a very basic walk through of how to set up healing spells and went over other more basic functionality so that the folks who were not familiar with it all were not completely overwhelmed.
I use Shadowed Unit Frames for my Party and Raid frames and find that I can customize and get detailed info to my hearts content. and as I said in the video, SUF is simply my preference.
Apologies if you felt like I was shitting on your favorite Addon.
The entire premise of the video was indeed to inform people about why others in the community preferred mouse-over macros instead of Vuhdo.
I think your frustration is a bit misdirected, although I'm happy to take the brunt of it since it appears I am one of the only content creators to attempt to do a video on this specific topic.
Perhaps I'm discovering why that is.
@@soshspotgames4380 You have clearly taken a biased stance by ignoring Vuhdo's biggest advantages over mouseover Macros . If you listen to your own summary (~17 mins) again, all you said was Vuhdo was for clickers and 'clogging memories' and mouseover Macros can do everything Vuhdo does just as well. I like your other healer content, but frankly this video is misleading since you titled it as A vs B.
@@hongyiable except this video was not meant to be an explanation of Vuhdo and all the ways it can be used. It was meant to be an *explanation* of why many *other* healers prefer mouse over macros lol. This was mentioned and reiterated many times in this video, and I feel like some people are transposing their own feelings and expectations onto this video, when it was clearly stated from the start what the goal of the video was.
And, even with all of that being true, I still took the time to give a quick walk through on how to set up healing spells with Vuhdo, commented very clearly that Vuhdo does many other powerful and cool things *and then* further reiterated at the end that if it seemed I was being disparaging about Vuhdo, to toss my opinions in the trash and play what you like.
I understand in can be hard to feel like people don't value or recognize something you like, but that's every video on UA-cam my guy. It's all just a bunch of folks giving opinions. I find it funny that Growl, one of the best healers in NA had said many times that he uses mouses over macros and does not use Vuhdo any longer and many others beside him, but when I try to give a concise explanation for why that is, people just get upset that I didn't fawn over there addon. Like.....that wasn't the point of the video....?
When you use #showtooltip if you choose the ? It will auto fill in the icon. Much better than finding the icon.
Also /m and /macro open the macro screen.
Yep, great tips! I was worried if I threw out too much information it might overwhelm people lol. :P
@@soshspotgames4380 word.
you don't need to do that just #showtooltip
it will auto use the icon for whatever spell you put in
Love your videos! Very helpful thanks! I think this could be a great idea for a discipline healer because I think they have a tons of spells
which server do you play?
Thanks for the video!
Yah definitely. I use mouse over macros for every spec I play, and certainly healers, although I don't want to downplay the helpfulness of healing addons for those that like them.
I play on Stormrage-US.
Glad you like the video. :D
If u wright spell name after #showtooltip the logo appears automatic, dont have to search the right logo
Correct! :)
Oh perfect. Figure I can get 25% more efficient key binding with macros. Smite and flash heal on a single bind? Yes!
Yah baybee! These help/harm macros are a frickin life saver for specs that have a ton of keybinds lol. :D
You are so undersubbed
Thanks for the vote of confidence! It's always a grind when you're the new kid on the block lol. :D
