Hi, I know i need some addons, especially for healing. But I havent a clue which are good or bad or what to choose. So I would appreciate if some of you could contribute with your thoughts about addons here, which ones you prefer and why and if they lag a lot and stuff like that. :]
I use the following;
KaruulAlert
King Boss Mod
Rift Meter
Resource TrackerI do have a Chloro Spec but not looked into healing add-ons just yet.
All the above can be found here
There are two healing addons availble i havnt tried either of them but i will eventually i use Gadgets with 3 different plugins installed that lets me change the layout on pretty much everything including party/raid/player frames, the only issue with gadgets is the limited amount of skins there are they are prebuilt so you only have like 7-8 to choose from and none of them really has a decent look on the debuffs the icons are tiny as hell.
The addons anyway are:
Thank u both ♥♥♥♥!!!
I just figured out a fix for my debuff issues and now the healthbar turns purple when i can dispel something so problem solved no need to sit and watch out for tiny icons, if you want help to set it up poke me ingame.

Sounds complicated but thank u a lot, ill do that I think :]
I need to get something up when I get back as well. 🙂
So far I’ve just been using mouseover macros for my healing which works quite nicely.
For group / raid frames I use Mere Healing Frames, you can customize pretty much anything but it does take a little bit more effort to get the hang of than Click Box Healer:
Can set it up to track loads of buffs (15+ icon slots) and multiple in any given icon slot – so it’s great for defiler links as they’ll all appear in the same place on each player bar.
Can track cleansable debuffs and show the debuff icon on in an icon slot on the player bar.
Can set up multiple frames sorted by role, so the tank(s) can have their own frame for ease of healing
Can also link spells to mousebuttons – my single target cleanse is linked to my right mouse button but as I’ve got a razer naga I tend not to use this function.Sadly like most addons it’s not being improved on.
For ease of use I’d suggest Click Box Healer however.
Now what other addons do I use?
In order of importance to ME, I don’t use gadgets so it’s not that important, but I do accept that it is one of the most useful addons in Rift.Cursor = provides a colour trail behind your cursor to help keep track of it when the screen is busy. Used this since I started playing Rift and it’s worked perfectly always. Very useful on my small screen.
King Boss Mods = unless you want to learn everything yourself this addon is essential for dungeon / raid assistance. I like to let others work out a strategy and tell me what to do.
Karuulalert = buff / ability / stuff tracker that can pop up icons wherever you want on your screen if something is active or missing, along with timers plus with a bit of work stack size.
Roles = a drop down menu for changing roles, can link saved equipment sets to the roles – for me a left click selection gives my PvE set with appropriate focus, a right click gives my PvP set
KTE2 = tracks other players (and mobs) active buffs / spells to give an approximate guide to their soul setup, great in PvP for spotting healers without having to think about it
Gadgets = amazing group / raid window plus multiple other utilities. If portraits could be implimented I’d use it and ditch the default, I just find it quicker to recognize a portrait than having to read a mobs name.
Redar or Resource Tracker = find them resource nodes without having to look at the minimap.
SimpleMeter = Basic dps / hps parse
Omg Spate, thank u. This is of great value to all of us ♥♥♥

Ah, you’ve caught me out.
Mind you, if it was anything like my EQ2 bot we’d be dieing even more. 😯
OFF TOPIC, but still the greatest bot macro EVER from SWG!! (shamelessly copied and pasted. origin was Fargo)
The Autocamp 2000 talks to other players with following rules:
1.) If someone says something ending in a question mark, respond by saying “Dude?”
2.) If someone says something ending in an exclamation point, respond by saying “Dude!”
3.) If someone says something ending with a period, respond by randomly saying one of three things: “Okie,” “Sure,” or “Right on.”
4.) EXCEPTION: If someone says something directly to you by mentioning your name, respond by saying “Lag.”
5.) (And remember to accept all trade requests from other players by giving them a melon.)
I sat it in front of the keyboard, made sure my character had at least fifty melons in his backpack, and then trudged off to leave it alone for the night.
My character, Farglik the Mon Calamari, waited around in the Cantina for some adventurers. The following is a log of what transpired:
KillSwitch: [Shouting] Does anyone want to join our hunting party?
Farglik: [Powered by the Autocamp 2000] Dude?
[KillSwitch invites Farglik to join the group.]
[Farglik joins the group]KillSwitch: We’re gonna go hunt wrixes.
Farglik: Right on.
[The group of players runs out of the Cantina, Farglik following close behind. Farglik shoots at every little monster they pass.]
KillSwitch: Why are you attacking the durneys?
Farglik: Dude?
KillSwitch: The durneys, the little bunny things — why do you keep shooting at them?
Farglik: Dude?
Troobacca: [A wookie in the party] My weapon powerup expired, I need a new one.
Farglik: Sure.
[Troobacca opens a trade with Farglik.]
[Farglik hands him a melon.]Troobacca: …what’s this?
Farglik: Dude?
Troobacca: You handed me a melon!
Farglik: Dude!
KillSwitch: Knock it off guys, I see some wrixes up ahead. Let’s do this.
Farglik: Right on.
[The group encounters a bunch of dangerous wrixes, but they gang up and shoot every one of them.]
KillSwitch: We rock!
Farglik: Dude!
Troobacca: We so OWNED them!
Farglik: Dude!
KillSwitch: Uh oh, hang on. Up ahead are some Sharnaff bulls. We can’t handle them, so don’t shoot.
Farglik: Okie.
[Farglik shoots one of the Sharnaff bulls.]
[The bull attacks; Trobacca and several other party members are killed before they beat it.]KillSwitch: You IDIOT! Farglik why did you shoot at them?
Farglik: Lag.
KillSwitch: Well don’t do it again.
Farglik: Sure.
[Farglik shoots at another Sharnaff bull.]
[The entire party is slaughtered except for Farglik.][ … Farglik stands there, alone, for several hours … ]
[ … finally, a merchant runs up to him.]
Stingrie: [A Rodian merchant.] Hey man! Would you like to buy a stimpack?
Farglik: Dude?
Stingrie: A stimpack. It boosts your health by 200 points. I’ll sell it to you for 500 credits.
Farglik: Okie.
[Stingrie opens a trade session.]
[Farglik hands him a melon.]Stingrie: What the hell is this?
Farglik: Dude?
Stingrie: You handed me a melon.
Farglik: Right on.
Stingrie: I told you 500 credits!
Farglik: Dude!
Stingrie: If it’s too expensive, just say so.
Farglik: Sure.
[Stingrie runs away, angry.]
[ … several more hours pass …]
[A small hunting party led by Krushmor the Master Rifleman comes over the ridge and spots Farglik.]
Krushmor: Farglik, what’s up? What are you doing way out here?
Farglik: Lag.
Krushmor: We’re rooting dralls out of a cave. You should join our group.
Farglik: Okie.
[Krushmor invites Farglik to join the group.]
[Farglik joins the group and starts following Krushmor around.]Soop: [The party’s medic]. Here, Farglik, let me hand you some stimpacks.
Farglik: Lag.
Soop: I know, it’s pretty bad tonight. Here you go.
Farglik: Right on.
[Soop opens up a trade window and hands Farglik a Stimpack.]
[Farglik hands Soop a melon.]Soop: Uh … thanks!
Farglik: Dude!
[The party enters a cave and spends the next two hours brutally clearing it of creatures, room by room. Everyone gets tons of XP.]
Krushmor: Aw man, it’s getting really late guys. I should go!
Farglik: Dude!
Krushmor: I know, sucks. I’ll catch you all later.
Farglik: Sure.
[Krushmor logs off. By default, Farglik is now promoted to group leader!]
Soop: Well that sucks. What should we hunt next?
Farglik: Dude?
Soop: Let’s hunt Slice Hounds!
Farglik: Dude!
Soop: I know an awesome spot. Follow me.
Farglik: Right on.
[The group runs out of the cave, but Farglik, because he is now group leader, just stands there. Several minutes pass before Soop returns.]
Soop: Farglik why didn’t you come with us?
Farglik: Lag.
Soop: Well catch up when you can.
Farglik: Okie.
[Farglik stands motionless in the cave and eventually the group disbands. Half an hour passes.]
[Suddenly, one of the game developers, controlling Darth Vader, enters the cave.]
Darth Vader: Well, my young padawan, we’ve been watching your progress for quite some time.
Farglik: Sure.
Darth Vader: You have done well. We have decided to bestow upon you: Force powers!
Farglik: Okie.
Darth Vader: You will be the most powerful Jedi on the planet!
Farglik: Dude!
[Darth Vader gives Farglik force powers.]
Darth Vader: Would you like my light saber?
Farglik: Dude?
Darth Vader: My light saber. I bestow it onto you.
Farglik: Right on!
[Darth Vader opens up a trade and gives Farglik a light saber.]
[Farglik hands Darth Vader a melon.]Darth Vader: Thanks, uh, for the … melon.
Farglik: Sure.
Darth Vader: Well? Aren’t you going to try out your new Force powers?
Farglik: Dude?
Darth Vader: Your Force powers! The powers I just gave you!
Farglik: Dude!
Darth Vader: The FORCE, Farglik! Use the Force!
Farglik: Lag.
Darth Vader: Okay, you know what. Just forget the Force powers. I’m taking them back.
Farglik: Okie.
Darth Vader: And give me back my light saber!
Farglik: Sure.
[Farglik hands Darth Vader a melon.]
[Darth Vader kills Farglik.]
[Farglik respawns in the cloning facility.]
KillSwitch: [In the cloning facility] Whoa! Look who just popped in. What happened to you, Farglik?
Farglik: Lag.
KillSwitch: Want to come hunting with us?
Farglik: Okie.
[Farglik and the Autocamp 2000 join the hunt and gain experience for several more hours…]
I’d call the experiment an unqualified success.
