Hi there, I’m a pally healer and i am a very new user to Grid and Clique. I have no difficulty setting up Clique, but for Grid, the options are just too many and complex. Is it possible for you to impart to me what are the options that i should check or uncheck so as to maximise my Grid display and and my healing efficiency. I will appreciate if you will spare the time for my request. My email is brian_leow49@yahoo.com. Cheers!

That addon is “Auramap”. It, and the rest of the UI is described here:

what addon are you using that give you the cricles around you on the mini map?

The imp have a buff called “Phase Shifted” (or something like that.. look for the exact name on an imp). I added that as an aura in Grid and then set it up so that if any unit has the buff then the unit is shown at the same transparency as what I read as “out of range”.

Could you please tell me how to do the out-of-phase imps as always out of range? I’ve just started to use Grid and this would be very helpful to stop pointless button-bashing

thanks in advance

Unfortunately the setup of grid is very individual. I just fiddled with it until it worked for me.

is there somebody know where i can download config files for different cases (heal and dps) for grid ?
it’s not so easy to setup even with screenshots

Thanks for that quick answer. It also answered other question I had.

But, I’ll try it out tonight. It will be the best to learn this technique !

Here’s the Grid from a screenshot just after killing High King Maulgar**:

My toon is “Tati” in the upper right-hand corner of the grid. I can cast heals on myself the same as I cast it on anyone else in the raid.

You -can- deactiveate them.. Or at least you can tell Grid to only show when you’re in a group. Personally I feel naked without it ;). I don’t think you can toggle clique on/off easily.

Frankly I used grid/clique whether I’m in a group or not. When not in a group I still use it to heal/cleanse myself. I’m just trained to use grid for healing and would be lost without it.

**Other things that I can tell just by looking at the grid screenshot:
- Amel (upper left-hand corner) and Gong (just below Amel) are at low health. Gong has an incoming heal (green dot in lower left-hand corner).
- Wath (Column 5, row 4) is both dead and out-of-range (or possibly released and running back).
- Warlock and Hunter pets are listed across the bottom.. it looks like Jubq is either a phase-shifted imp or and out-of-range hunter pet.. I’d guess the former. I changed Grid to show phase-shifted imps as “out-of-range” so I’d stop trying to heal them.
- Died, Ilad, Joeb and Ophe all have throns on them (green dot, top-center)(really Gong and Amel should too… not sure why it’s missing off them).
- Kism has Fel Armor up (purple dot on left-hand side.).
- I updated grid to show thorns and fel/demon armor so that I’d have a visual remind to put these things up when I play my druid/warlocks alts.
- Oh, Nual is my current target (white dot, top-center).

Hey,

Great blog btw !

This is some sweet addons, but I have two questions :

1- Is your own toon in the GRID, if I want to heal myself ?

2- Can you deactivate CLIQUE and GRID when you’re not in a group and you don’t want to use them ?

Thanks a lot !
