About Healers have to die
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).
HHTD also adds a healer role symbol abovefriendly 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.
Remember to check out available options (/HHTDG)
Special commands
- /HHTDP (or /hhtdp) : Post healers name to the raid channel for all to see. (You need to configure the messages in the announce module options first).
You can bind this command to a key (WoW key-bindings interface)
Videos
Here is a video by Hybridpanda featuring HHTD in the Eye of the Storm battleground:

Articles
Here are two excellent articles about HHTD by Cynwise (A must read if you have some doubts about the fairness of this add-on!) :
Healers Have To Die and the PvP Addons Arms Race
Using Healers Have To Die to Protect Friendly Healers
Another one by Gevlon: http://greedygoblin.blogspot.com/2011/05/healers-have-to-die.html
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
- 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)
Debates
An 'interesting' debate about this add-on is also happening on Blizzard's official forum:
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 were actually using HHTD at the time (from the Curse Client popularity statistics)... Now over 80,000 players have it installed!
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 additional links to those endless threads.
type /hhtdg to open the configuration interface, or /hhtd for command-line access
Comments and suggestions are welcome :-)

Comments
Whoever made this mod has basically ruined the aspect of being hidden as a healer. Not only has it made it almost impossible to escape from bad situations since everyone will be attacking you, but it makes it almost worthless to try and stay hidden because as soon as you do someone will see a huge cross above your head. Just wanted to tell you that in many ways you've ruined PvP in WoW and that I will no longer be rolling as a healer. Hope you'll consider this message! Bye.
less than 100,000 people are using this add-on. Also note that name plates (HHTD or not) are visible even when you're inside a bush and shows your class by default. The battlefield score board also indicates your spec.
Moreover you should complain to your team for not protecting you instead of blaming an add-on that also have features to protect healers (Just read the description above).
Love the add-on but running into an issue with it. I've been getting kicked off the server everytime I go into a BG or Arena. After some trail and error this add-on has been doing it. This has been happening since the DS patch. Hoping you can fix it.
That's quite unlikely... Your the first person to ever report such a problem.
This addon is really good at doing what it does - many thanks Archarodim for creating and maintaining HhtD. =)
I would love to see an option to customize which class I want to track. For example, I have an obsessive hatred of rogues in pvp and being able to single them out in a group would be awesome!
I am currently having a problem with HHTD and some macros. It appears that the macros work as long as I do not have a healer targeted. If I attempt to use the macro while targetting a healer I only get a ding and the macro does nothing.
To illustrate, I targeted a holy paladin and used the following macro (it is a Devour Magic macro for my warlock):
/petattack
/cast [pet:Felhunter,target=player] Devour Magic
/targetlasttarget [pet:Felhunter]
/cast [pet:Felhunter] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:Felhunter,target=targettarget] Devour Magic
/targetlasttarget [pet:Felhunter]
All that happened is a ding sound. I then had to click my pets devour magic from the pet bar. I love the addon but it is becoming frustrating that some important macros seem to stop functioning against the healers that I am trying to kill. This issue do not occur against non-healers. Is there a work around for this issue?
That's quite strange, HHTD cannot interfere with macros in any way.
Now looking at your macro, I think you know that but Devour Magic no longer works for removing harmful magical effects on friendly units (it will only work if the friendly unit is being mind controlled)
Could you try without HHTD to confirm that it's the source of the problem?
I will alter the macro first and try it. If I get the same results I will try a battleground with the addon and see what the result is. Hopefully this will pinpoint the problem.
Is it a Addons perfec for the noob shit! hahaha Now the people can do a good game!
For the horde :D
Just Love your Addon !!!
thanks ! :)
Is it possible to adjust the size of the healer icons (above the nameplates)?
not yet, it's planned for the next version though
Is it possible to add icons for friends, guild or a specific list of names - to easily spot them amongst hundreds of players?
Not with HHTD but probably with other generalist nameplate add-ons
