I’ve been using Grid & Clique with my resto druid for quite awhile. I tried out Healbot and Vuhdo, but found I preferred the method of Grid & Clique for healing. Soon after settling on this combination, I found that Clique had several other useful capabilities, since it could be used with any UI component, including the Blizzard default unit frames.
My personal take on playing a class that can remove a debuff is that it’s your responsibility to ensure you can help the group by removing that debuff whenever possible. That means you – poison removing boomkin or disease removing ret pally! This is especially important if the healer in your group is unable to remove that particular type of debuff. I find, as I run dungeons with the random dungeon finder, that I’m one of the few non-healing classes who actually helps in this way.
So I started out with my pally, while running 5 mans, having just Clique setup to allow me to Cleanse using the default unit frames. That worked fine for 5 mans (although I found sometimes I didn’t notice something needed to be cleansed until it had been on the target for awhile).
When I started raiding, I felt I needed more. That’s when I loaded up Grid, and started playing with the settings to show me more information. I also added a lot of buttons to my Clique setup in order to be more effective at tanking. There’s so much more to do than just help with Cleanse!
On the left, you can see my Clique setup for Xelencia, my protection paladin. I put Cleanse on my left mouse button since it’s the thing I use the most. The only other spell I use in every dungeon and raid I tank is Righteous Defense. Having these two setup has been priceless. Lay On Hands is also especially nice to save yourself or someone else, and prevent a wipe.
To the right you can see how my Grid looks when in a raid. We were fighting against Sindragosa at the time. From the image I can see that two characters are not at full health, Xelencia is the only character with aggro on a target, Rixa has Forbearance, and Xelencia is under the effect of Hand of Freedom.
On the left is my Grid Configuration window, showing the center icon settings which display Diseases, Magic, and Poison - to indicate when I should use Cleanse on someone. Not shown is my Border (Aggro Alert), Top Left Corner (Forbearance), and Bottom Right Corner (Hand of Freedom). With Center Icon, it will show the icon specific to that debuff. The corners show small boxes (you can pick the color) to indicate when the conditions are met. Border will light up in whatever color you choose to display (I choose bright red).
One of the beautiful things about Grid is that it is so highly configurable. You can add buffs and debuffs to Grid's built in list if you want something to display that it doesn't have. You can pick what colors you want to see, how thick you want your borders to be, how big your squares should be, etc. Everything is configurable.
How to Use it!
Once you have Grid & Clique setup - you'll need to learn to use it. If you're new to mouse-binding capabilities, I'd start out with just a couple things. As I find Cleanse and Righteous Defense to be the most useful, I'd suggest starting out with those.
Cleanse
This image shows that I have a poison on me. To cleanse it from the character it's on - just hover over that character's Grid box and click the mouse button you chose (via Clique) to be your cleansing button. So in this situation, I move my mouse over Xelencia's box and use my left mouse button to get rid of the poison. Paladins are lucky because they only have to worry about one button to cleanse everything. With my druid and priest I have my 5th mouse button set up to use one spell (Abolish Poison and Remove Disease), and use that same mouse button with the Shift modifier for their other ability.
Righteous Defense
Aggro!!
In this image you can see that I have aggro, but the shaman in the 3rd Grid position also has aggro. I can also see that the healer is out of range, which makes it even more critical that I keep all the targets on me if at all possible. To regain the aggro on the adds that I have lost, I simply hover my mouse over that grid box and click my Righteous Defense button. I don't have to find the add that is attacking the shaman. I don't even have to know where the shaman is (as long as they're in range). This is a great capability that only paladin's have - and far more of us should take advantage of such a great spell.
We bought a house when we moved to BC because we thought my husband was deploying and I wasn't going to live in a cramped, junky apartment all by myself for a year. I wanted a dog!
The deployment got postponed, but my want for a pet didn't, and I found myself looking around on Petfinder for a dog in local shelters. I still remember looking at the listings at the Humane Society and seeing this beautiful dog that looked like a Rottweiler in the small picture they had. She looked gorgeous and I dragged my husband out there the very day I found her to make sure that she wouldn't get adopted before I had a chance to meet her.
When we inquired about "Trudy" that we saw on the website the girl at the desk smiled a knowing smile and showed us out to the outdoor kennels. There she was, sitting in a fenced kennel that was smaller than the others, all by herself. The volunteer explained that Trudy had a habit of climbing the fences in the other kennels, so she had to be in the one with a top on it in order to ensure that she didn't escape. Trudy looked so sad to be trapped in there with no way out! She climbed part of the way up one wall of the fence and flipped over just to prove her climbing ability to us - I was shocked!
We took Trudy out on a leash to get to know her a little and walked her around the area. She seemed to be a sweet dog, but not very affectionate. At the time I figured she just needed some time to get to know us before she'd warm up to us. So we went back in and said we were still interested, and they asked some questions about our yard (we have a six foot wooden privacy fence). They also told us that she had been adopted and returned to the shelter several times due to escaping from people's yards. "Oh, I don't think that will a problem for you, she can only get out of the chain link fences because she climbs them. A six foot wooden fence will be perfect."
We had been out to the Humane Society in GR several times when we lived there and they always talked about filling out an application and then they would call our references and maybe even come look at the house there to make sure that the animal would have a nice place to live. So needless to say I was a little surprised when they told us to fill out the one page of paperwork and then take her home! We didn't have anything at home for her - no dog food, feeding dishes, treats, toys - nothing! We convinced them to let us pick her up the next day.
We found very quickly that she loved riding in the car on the way home and seemed to settle in fairly easily to her now home. Ah, the journey begins...
