GUIDE: Click Healing System Using Party Frames

[Apps]

The difference between using this and just using Click Bars is that you can target and heal by clicking the actual Player Portraits in the Party Frame rather than a Click Bar placed next to it, which at least to me is more intuitive and doesn't clutter my UI with unnecessary graphics.

Sorry, thats not right.

If a person were to make a keymap for the heal skill or anything really, and set up that mapped key to use assist, or target, or specifically press a "Target Party Member X" function in game, and reference that mapped key when setting up the click bar, you can absolutely target the player and heal them. Really, how else would you heal them if you didnt target them?

Example. I lead with Toon A. Toon B is the healer. Toon C needs a heal. On Toon A window, I click the 90% translucent clickbar. Toon B heals Toon C. I didnt have to target anything, press any key combination, nor did I have to swap screens or even look at Toon B or C windows, because I can see it go off from the Party portraits on the side. And as you mentioned, if using the clickbars, a person can set up multiple functions, name it, color it, hell, just for grins n giggles, I set up 4 click bars for heals, and mounting. Then I turned off my UI completely, as the clickbars sit on top, and I completely cleared out my screen for "cluttered UI". Pressing "1" through whatever key for my dps rotations, and the 4 click bars... the game functions perfectly, with NOTHING on the screen but my team.

I hope this doesnt sound like a "Negative Nancy" cause your stuff looks good. Just seems like doing it the hard way.

You missinterpreted what I was saying.
I haven't played my team with a healer for quite a while now and have no access to the game nor my team at this moment, so I can't verify/re-check this, but;
When I created my first team I noticed that the Party Member Slots got shifted around and they didn't seem to stick to any logical arrangement, which meant that the first player in the Party Frame could be "Party Member #3" for example.
Due to this I came up with the idea of using Repeater Region & Click Bar to allow me to always target the correct Party Member by simply clicking on their portrait, which is the most intuitive way since their entire portrait is a health bar.

If this has changed in any way, or if by some miracle I ran across a bug when setting up my first team, then just using the transparent Click Bar could potentially work just as well. And give you an extra Mouse Button to boot.
