Mod Name: Visual Heal

What is it?
Visual Heal is a very small and simple UI mod designed primarily for anyone doing any healing.

Whenever you begin to cast a healing spell an additional bar will appear, which shows the current health of the target, any incoming heals from others that will land before yours as well as the healing you are about to cast.

This makes it extremely easy to determine whether or not the heal you are casting is going to over-heal, making it much easier to be more mana efficient.

This is especially useful when healing in raids where you are not the only healer, as it allows you to quickly see that someone else is healing your target and decide whether you want to let your heal land or interrupt it and save your mana for healing when/where it's needed.

The mod also has its uses as a tank - when someone is healing you a bar similar to the one healers get is displayed, showing your current health and the healing that the spell being cast on you will grant.

This allows you to decide whether you need to use that health potion/Last Stand etc.

Yeah, I've used this mod for a very long time while healing on Antheus and it's a fantastic little mod - especially for limiting the amount of over-healing you do.

When researching and posting this though I saw they'd added the player mode (where it shows the bar when someone is healing you) since I last upgraded so I've upgraded to the latest version... will let you know how good it is from a tank being healed the next time I do a run.
