How to create a complete health bar (heal absorbs included)
The default health bar is not bad, but you may want to choose yourself how to display absorbs, healing absorbs, incoming heals etc. We will here give you a tutorial to create your own multibar that you can then customize to your needs.
1
Enter /grid2 in your chat
2
Click the Indicators Heading
3
Select multibar as the type, and enter the name of your multibar (here my-multi-bar), click Okay and Create.
4
Select the multibar you have created among the list of indicators
5
Select health-current as the status to display in your main bar, and Status Color as the Color Source. By default this will use the Class Color, which you can change in the Colors tab (an alternative is to use health-current again to have a green to red gradient)
6
Click Add Bar and select heal-absorbs for the "Status" and Prev. Bar & Reverse for the "Anchor & Direction". Select Custom Color as the Color Source and choose the color you want to display the healing absorbs, these nasty "negative" shields that absorb the healing you do before you can actually heal your target.
7
Click Add Bar and select heals-incoming for the "Status" and Previous Bar for the "Anchor & Direction". Select Custom Color as the Color Source and choose the color you want to display the incoming heals, which represent heals being cast on the players.
8
Click Add Bar and select shields for the "Status" and Previous Bar for the "Anchor & Direction". Select Custom Color as the Color Source and choose the color you want to display the shields, coming from any source.
9
Go to Layout and you will have all you need in the Appearance Section. You can change the size of the bar and choose which direction the health pools will use. Tune it to your needs!
