On a personal note

Appreciate using Healbot? Do this, earn yourself money and show your appreciation all in one =)

Don't know which price comparison web site is best for you???... Simple get you own and pay yourself the affiliate commission you would normally pay them.

You start with your own internet shop, like this one.
Lots of retailers are linked to the shop and you can buy almost anything, try searching and see.
When you buy from your own internet shop, your redirected to the retailers website and the link contains a reference so the retailers know who to pay a commission.

Now here is the clever bit, tell all your friends they too can have an internet shop that finds the best prices and pays them for shopping, get them to tell their friends, you also get a commission on your friends shopping at 7 levels.

It takes less than 2mins to setup and it is totally free, you can get your own internet shop here.

>> UK ONLY <<

The following is a screenshot of my shop, searching for “World of Warcraft”

Or as an alternative,
Play at my online casino or get your own, see the site for details.
This option is open to all counties =)

* Spell preference values raised, the preferences are weighted against the targets DPS and time to live, if the target is about to die and the preference is for faster casts then healbot will perform a faster cast. If your target has 0 DPS and more than ~20 secs to live then the preferences are only slightly considered.
* Reduced score of HoT's when the target is about to die.
* Updated the code for healthstones and healthpots.
v1.11
=================
* Fix a bug introduced in V1.1 where range checks cause a nil error to spam in BG's.
v1.1
=================
* Update spell selection to only choose instant cast spell when the player is moving.
* Improved range checks to check the range for each spell, some channel spells only have a 20yards range.
v1.01
=================
* Fix more bugs with talent modifiers applied to mana cost and cast time. Healbot is now performing as expected.
v1.0
=================
* Fixed all data for spells with current patch 1.12 data.
v1.0 rc2
=================
* 40yard range check does not work in instances. Outside in normal zones the 40yards check still works. Inside instances there is a choice of 28yards or 100 yards, to set at 28yards check the option Exact 28yard range check, for 100yards uncheck it.
* Brought back cast time modifier with reduced penalty to scale depending on users preference as set in the options.
* Moved most register events to fire after addon loads, this is for faster loading and zone in.
v1.0rc1
=================
* Added Ranged checking function and tied into existing can cast checks, currently set to 40yards for all.
v0.998
=================
* Fixed bug where if you have 5 extra people checked and then select a 6th, it errors with a null value to index local check.
Note: you can now only check 4 people.
* From this release I will start to maintain a change log. Can still remember major changes in .996 and .997 but the 10 version before .996 are now a blur, it was mostly testing and tuning heals with some other bug fixes.
v0.997
=================
* Healbot is now performing better, put back the item bonus and talent modifiers, these were reduced due to the lesser heals bugs.
* Reduced price of HealthStones, healbot should use these when you mana is starting to drop and health low, needs more tuning and feedback welcome.
v0.996
=================
* Removed cast time from calculating best spell, with the introduction of item bonuses and talents, the +heals made spells with higher cast times score badly which resulted in them not being used.
* Removed a number of function calls when not needed, significantly reduced the amount of code being consistently parsed, this means healbot is now far more efficient.
* Removed the flashing red background, although this is a good way to indicate that the heal will overheal and it is best to abort, it annoys me and I can't be bothered to abort half the time anyway.
v0.95 - v0.995
=================
* Generally debugging and tuning with the introduction of item bonuses and talents being applied to amount healed.
* Updated duration and amount healed for priests greater heal spells, this change in patch 1.10 was not updated in healbot.
* Increased price of HealthPots and HealthStones, to reduce usage of these items.
v0.94
=================
* Picked up healbot with some changes from the original, which fixes a serious bug where the game freezes after a DC but added bugs where small spells are being selected.
* Making some changes to the code and testing.
