You can designate what color is what hot in the options. You can also
designate where in the main box of the players where you would like it
displayed. For example, Wild growth for me is blue, and it is center
bottom. Rejuv is pink and top left, etc, etc. Any hots will begin a
countdown inside those little colored boxes. So I cast Wild growth, a
little blue box appears in the center bottom for me with a number that
counts down till it finishes. I put three stacks of lifebloom on the
tank, and a little green box appears for me on the right side of the
tanks box. Any spell like lifeboom that can be stacked, it divides that
little box into 3 parts, each one will light up for each stack that is
applied. A full colored box is a full 3 stacks. Lifebloom starts
ticking away, and I watch when it gets to 3 seconds that I have to cast
Nourish if I want to refresh it or not. I personally love Vuhdoo over
healbot, but it's all a personal preference. For example, I know I can
dispell through Vuhdoo also, but as my main is a mage and I use
decursive, I'm much more comfortable having the decursive bar up under
my heal bars...It's all a matter of personal preference.
I feel ya though, as if I was forced to use Heatbot because a patch
screwed up Vuhdoo, I wouldn't be happy either. I'm just trying to help
you a bit with Vuhdoo...
