Healers Have To Die
===================


*Spot those bloody healers instantly and help them accomplish their destiny! (PVP and PVE)*


HHTD adds a **red cross** over *enemy* healer's name plates. *You can't miss them!* (see the [screen-shot][redcross]).

HHTD also adds a **healer role symbol** above*friendly* healers' name plates. *Stop the slaughter!!*

**IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to enable name-plates, else you won't see the healer symbols!**

It also rings when you hover or target a hostile unit who healed
someone else during the last 60 seconds (*can be configured*).

HHTD is PVP and PVE compatible.

Articles and debates
--------------------

Here is a excellent article about HHTD by Cynwise (**A must read if you have some doubts about the fairness of this add-on!**) :

An 'interesting' debate about this add-on is also happening on Blizzard's official forum:

- [Break the HHTD mod already. (UI and Macro forum)][debate4] (full),

- [Healers Have To Die, part I (UI and Macro forum)][debate1] (full),

- [Healers Have to Die, part II (General discussion)][debate2] (full),

- [Healers Have to Die, part III (General discussion)][debate3] (full),

- [Healers Have to Die (Class Roles - Healing forum)][debate5]

Sadly, as a European I cannot participate but I'm reading those threads with great interest.

The funniest part about all those 26 pages discussions is that only about **16,000 people are actually using HHTD** (from the Curse Client popularity statistics)...
*Note that with all the publicity made about HHTD, this number is increasing a lot faster than it used to.*

In those discussions it's also rarely noted that HHTD is also very helpful to protect healers on your side.
This debate is leading nowhere though... I won't post any more links to those endless threads.

How it works
------------

HHTD uses the combat log events to detect friendly and enemy healers.
By default, HHTD will detect specialized healers spells only (for PvP).

Another option lets you choose a specified amount of healing enemies have to
reach before being marked as healers. (this is the setting used for PvE)

By default HHTD uses both methods, specialised healers' spells detection AND a minimum cumulative healing to reach by the aforementioned spells.

Self-Heals and pets are filtered out.

Planned features
----------------

- Announce module for both friendly and enemy healers.
        For now I'm thinking to force it both ways at the same time ("focus XXX, protect XXX").
- Detection when a friendly healer is being attacked and alert others through /yell or /say (I would like to make it work for nearby healers only)

- Announce options will be disabled by default and users will have to write the announce text themselves. *there will be no default*
