Healing Module

Overview

The Healing Module of the Call of Elements addon is responsible for managing healing logic, determining priority targets, and selecting the most effective healing spells to use based on several parameters and thresholds.

Key Components

Initialization & Event Handling
- The module initializes by setting healing thresholds and registering important events.
- Listens for the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event to load available healing spells.
Healing Thresholds:
- HealingNeeded: Healing is only performed if the target's health ratio falls below 85%.
- OverrideTarget: A target can only be healed if no party/raid member is below 50% health, should a friendly target be actively selected.
Target Selection Logic:
- Prioritizes healing the party member with the lowest health ratio but also considers the player's health and any selected friendly target.
- If a friendly non-party/non-raid target is selected and no other party members are in urgent need, it will heal that target.
Spell Determination:
- The module dynamically selects the best spell to use for healing, aiming to maximize efficiency in terms of mana consumption and casting speed.
- Supports choices between high-healing spells and quicker-casting spells to adapt to different combat scenarios.
