After laughing at the fatigue log in GD, something occured to me.

What if priests/shamans/healers could auto-glance or check their heal target after each cast? That is, have a triggerable auto command that checks their target's status after each casting. I think it could help healers decide how many more heals to stack on a party member, etc. without wasting the time to type info all the time.

For example:

Code:
[HP:94%] [ME: 99%] [PE:100%]

c 'cure light'
You start to concentrate.

[HP:94%] [ME: 99%] [PE:100%]

You utter the words, 'judicandus dies'.
You feel better!
Overall, you have a few scratches.

[HP:97%] [ME: 97%] [PE:100%]



Thoughts?

While I agree this would be a good idea, it is already accomplishable through aliases.

Zmud is a popular client so a quick alias formula for Zmud would be...

Code:
#AL {heal} {cast 'heal' %1; glance %1}


That should heal your target, and immediately glance at them afterwards, showing you how hurt they are without all the description/equipment spam.

Here's an idea sort of on those lines. Give them "healing messages", which is essentially a damage message in reverse.

under 25%
Your healing abilities bring XXX a little further away from death's door.

Under 50%
Your healing abilities cause some of XXX's critical wounds to seal themselves.

Uncer 75%
Your healing abilities manifest themselves, and XXX looks marginally better.

Under 100%
Your healing abilities leave XXX in a nearly perfect state of health.

I will agree with healing messages reflecting the status being a nice idea for healers.

Beautiful. There's nothing worse than incompetent healers.
