put it on hotbar, say on key 1.

Hover over unit in CBH, press 1. Usually it works fine (heals the person being hovered over).

However sometimes (entirely possibly it relates to joining/leaving mid-combat) it simply doesn't work -- i.e. it won't target the person being hovered over. It'll target your target or yourself instead (depending on settings & situation).

Leaving combat WILL NOT fix it.

Easiest way I know of testing it -- summon a pet mid-combat.

Newcomers MAY not be targetted by @mouseover macros fired off via keyboard buttons, the player is added to the raid, the health and mana are fully functional, and I'm pretty sure HoT icons and debuff status also work, but @mouseover doesn't.
It IS possible to click the player in the raid window to change target to them, but this defeats the usefulness of @mouseover.

It's my fav healing addon in Rift, because it's not overly complicated.
Unfortunately, since a few days it won't run anymore, everytime I tried it I got several error messages. =(

I thought maybe something could be hacked around because of that -- it might e.g. show pet in the wrong place in the grid or something until the end of combat, but showing something that works but is in the wrong place would still be an improvement (imo) over the current situation. But really I have to admit I have no idea if that would be possible.


Of an even more significant concern to me right now is the issue with @mouseover macros. I can confirm reports from other people I've seen on this thread -- in PvP you often end up in the situation where ClickBox spell assignments work whereas existing @mouseover macros that aren't mapped to mouse buttons don't work (they don't target the proper person). I haven't dug into this yet, so I've no idea what might be causing it.

It would be nice if you'd returned and incorporated fixes & changes

Re: units adding in combat -- I don't know the underlying mechanics, but in WoW it was possible, I believe... probably had something to do with pet-frame being pre-created before combat and appearing during combat if pet is spawned.

Hopefully something like that is possible in Rift too.
