With the War Within coming soon I wanted to find the best raid frame addon for healers to go into the new World of Warcraft expansion. In this video I test out various raid frame options, discuss their advantages and disadvantages as well as why I am switching addons for The War Within.

    In Cell you also can direct a specific place for every hot: Create a new Indicator, name it like "hot 1" add the spell ID, set up the anchor point. Do this X times and you have all your hots on fixed places. If you play multiple healers you can also add for example Reju, RM, Riptide to "hot 1" so you don´t have this work for every spec
  • @Wayslay
    Jak can you make a guide on how to set up cell?! That would be amazing.
  • @CrippsyS
    CELL all the way. Switched recently and holy shit, it has everything and replaces 5 addons/weakauras
  • @luxaeterna9383
    I have been loyal to Vuhdo for 7 years, but navigating through the 90s Vuhdo menu is a nightmare. I think I might take a look at Cell.
  • @Ashmishmer
    I was showing a friend who was a dps only player how to use healing frames in order to cast their targeted support abilities (brez, misdirection/tricks, bop etc.). This lead me to switch off my current raid frames I was using for Cell as I saw Jak testing them on stream and it was much more new user friendly for them and still being as customizable as I needed it to be as a long time user of healing frames.
  • @towersconnor
    best way imo to test ui things like this is to queue follower dungeons! good video idea jak. I'm a grid boy but i definitely get the sentiment.
  • @thomasr.7398
    heard u talking about cell a few weeks ago and tested it myself. Was a long time vuhdo user, too, but haven't looked back. Cell seems very intuitive and well thought through. Thx for the rec! Looking forward to the guide/optimization video.
  • @cuddleslol
    Bloody love add-on review videos! So important but they can take so much work. Thanks Jak!

    I switched yesterday when a guildy told me about it and I’m already in love with it. I’ve used healbot for 10 years and I was ready to drop it within hours of having cell. The raid debuff section almost instantly sold me on it. It’s such a pain to set up in healbot. Cell has all the debuffs for raids and dungeons sorted by bosses in a list and you just enable/ disable what you want to see. You can also set up a hot key to black list debuffs right off the raid frame when they pop up. It’s amazing
  • I've been a healbot user since BC, and I do not think I will change now, but its always good to know the alternatives. Thanks for the video!
  • @dvine3691
    Amazing talk as usual, for my part i was trying all of those on my healing spec, and yeah thebest by far in my opinion was Vudho. Now im working on cell also for TWW and we'll see how its going. Thanks for the video Jak, always a pleasure to watch and learn.
  • @FunkyToe369
    Cell looks fantastic, can't wait for your guide that sounds immensely helpful. Never really played healer seriously but I wanna get my UI working better
  • @Kyungneh
    If Jak made a video on a step by step guide on exactly how to set up both cell AND the changes that are needed in edit mode, I'd be sold, but I'm not computer savvy enough to figure it out by myself.
  • @ZerozPk
    Vuhdo main as well for as long as I can remember but this video was super interesting and helpful. I'm going to give Cell a try. I'm glad I got a quick preview of all the other addons so I don't have to bother struggling setting them up just to test them my self.
  • @johnhmphoto
    I’ve used Healbot since I started healing at end of Panda, tried VuhDo in Shadowlands and hated that one, so I didn’t dive any deeper into the other addons. Cell looks like it is more intuitive so I’ll probably check it out before TWW. Thanks for the video Jak.
  • @Estarianne
    I've been thinking of switching to cell since you were playing with it on stream. I like the fact that they have per spec settings and raid vs party settings! I've been playing holy for m+ and raid and having to change keybinds
  • The one thing I've always looked for in regards to sorting is the one VuhDo does that sorts by Tank > Melee > Ranged > Healers. I really like to know when a player is melee or ranged because some spells are better at handling certain scenarios better. And it also helps me find people on my raid frames for certain mechanics faster since some only target 1 or the other. I haven't found any other healing addon that does this yet.
  • @ShyChoudhury
    I'm giving Cell a go after seeing it on your stream, moving away from Elvui/Grid2. I got Shadowed Unit Frames to handle player, target, focus frames, etc., and it feels pretty good
  • @Moonwired
    Been using cell for a while, and not being able to sort myself in a specific spot was driving me nuts, was gonna ask how, but you explained that they added the feature in the end. What I find really annoying is that there isn’t a profile sort of section where u can select different profiles for different characters, you can only make changes based on roles. For example you can’t disable showing party on one character and enable it on another. If you disable it in one spot its disabled for all other characters too. I try to work around it by just not loading cell on characters that aren’t healers, but its super awkward. I sometimes heal on my paladin, but most of the time i want cell frames hidden as I use another frame for dps.
