@ Nefernet, you sir/madam, are correct, clique will make you the fastest MD in the west so to speak. I was fortunate enough to have a healer girlfriend (who I sometimes suspect has a secret crush on Matticus) point me towards grid/clique for my resto druid alt and when the MD lightbulb went off on my hunter main, she threatened to leave me for all of my giddy gleeful giggling.

I’ve since changed over to VuhDo, as I feel that it is a superior mod to the grid/clique combo. To digress into a full-blown tangent, VuhDo in many ways, reminds me of Mac OS X: it comes very shiny out of the box, works exceptionally well as is, needs little to no customization, but has enough bells and whistles that it can be customized to the point of insanity. VuhDo gives you food first, but brings the flowers if you want them. However, my favorite aspect of VuhDo is the fact that the mod is constantly being updated with suggestions from the community and pertinent buffs/debuffs from current content.
tl;dr VuhDo is the one-stop-shop for super-customizable raid frames, click-casting and more. Try it and win at everything forever.

Clique can be set up to change with your dual spec change. Select one profile for one spec, create a second for the next spec. I dual disc/holy atm and it’s very handy to automatically replace penance for CoH.

Clique can also perform Macro actions, use trinkets, etc. Surprised this stuff wasn’t in the article :)

Would love to figure out how to config dispells via clique to my scroll wheel (and not with a press, but with a scroll)

I love Clique- it definitely improved my capability as a healer. And using a 5-button mouse with it is made of win. :3

I have Penance, Flash Heal, Prayer of Mending, Power Word: Shield, Renew, Pain Suppression, Binding Heal, and Greater Heal all bound to a mouse click and either Shift, Alt, or Ctrl. With Grid, I can respond super fast to just about anything without having to think much about it.

Well, I’ve run out of combinations to bind new stuff actually. =S and about Clique over-riding default menu options.. Just use the slash commands; no problems there.

I use Clique.
With my hunter.

I found it very handy to do on the fly misdirections.

Clique is not just a great healer’s addon. It’s a great addon. :P

I’ve used Clique for a longlong time. I’ve found it to be perfectly suited to INSTANT CAST spells, especially Dispel Magic/Abolish Disease and Cleanse/Purify. Every spell I have to stay rooted for, like Holy Light and Greater Heal are still the default process of “Target, then cast”

I use this along with mouseover macros for raid healing. If I’m supposed to be killing something/keeping a tank alive, I target, then cast. It’s probably needlessly complicated, but I’m very competitive with the dispels and Clique. I’ve neverever been called out for dispeling late. :]

@Zusterke
I really like what you’re doing with your bindings being dictated by your ability to move… I might have to try this. :D

Ohh, and one more thing. I shortcutted:
– mouse 1: Renew
– mouse 2: PoM
– mouse 3: GS
– mouse 4: shield
Shift + mouse: direct healing spells with a cast time
ALT+ mouse: dispells and utility spells

Alt combines pretty well with “wasd”, shift to lesser extent. This maximizes my movement freedom while healing spell I can cast while moving :)
OH! You’re my new favorite blogger fyi

For me it was the only way to manage all ranks and types of spells we had in TBC. It did 100% of what I needed, leaving me only with a button for a manapot, mass dispell and shadowfiend.

Only in WotLK did the need arise to expand my shortcuts and interface beyond clique. But it still covers most of it.

One note though, it might be interesting to know that clique takes complete precedence when clicking on a frame but it does not kill alternative shortcuts. For example, I have a mouse 4 shortcut in clique to shield, and depending on key combo’s to do other stuff. But I also have mouse 4 button linked to an action button on my bars with a mouseover shield macro. What happens is that:
– whenever I click with mouse 4 on a frame, regardless of combo’s, clique is used
– when doing heads-up healing, the mouseover is used.
It might allow some complex interactions if you want to :)
