The BEST Raid Frames - Cell Addon Guide

[@luxaeterna9383]

Yes! I switched to Cell after your previous video on healer frames, and could really use the guidance. Appreciate you, Jak! ❤

[@AutomaticJak]

You're so welcome!

[@ftschembari254]

I switched to Cell after watching your first showcase video! One tip that I would add: I downloaded the addon idTip which displays spell/item IDs to all tooltips which makes it easier when setting up frames instead of constantly going to wowhead

[@AutomaticJak]

Yesss good call!

[@OneWidIt]

Came here to write this :) cheers!!!

[@Unim4trix]

whoever made this is a friggin saint. it's basically vuhdo but the options make sense! bless the creators

[@dread46]

For days i have been procrastinating with getting this addon setup, after you highly recommended it a few weeks ago... This tutorial of yours is a godsend, thank you so much for your work for the healer community 😙

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad I could help

[@ThePolarpop]

@@AutomaticJak do you still have further UI videos planned to release after this one before release?

[@digicyc]

Coming back to WoW I REALLY didn't want to have to setup ElvUI again for all of this once again. Hearing about Cell was a relief, but was a bit of a struggle wrapping my head around it. This video covered everything perfectly and I literally can't thank you enough for this Jak. Thank you so much for all your content and work you do for us healers and for WoW in general.

[@AutomaticJak]

Welcome back!

[@ShanndaPanda]

This whole time i've been doing clique with Vuhdoo LOL. Cell looks a lot cleaner than Vuhdoo. I like the drop down menu to find you spells you want to bind with "click casting." Thanks Jak

[@Moonwired]

What is really cool is that you can have an icon / glow / color for a specific DEbuff you need to dispell or deal with in an encounter. Makes it really pop, you just add the spell ID of these and make a list so the effect is the same everytime.

[@cameltj908]

Grid and grid 2 has been doing this forever.

[@ibi3846]

@@cameltj908 Wow bro is saying "yo you could everything with ElvUI", cool bro

[@Kelann08]

I JUST started learning how to play Discipline and was banging my head into the wall trying to learn Vuhdo (who the hell thought that options interface was a good idea?!) and Grid. Found Cell in a random recommended KZbin video which brought me here and oh god has my day been made. So easy to customize and such a clean interface. Love it.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

If I was healing this would be absolutely my choice. Looks like an insane addon and visually just slaps.

[@CARDpouzas]

That guide was INSANE bro. I am playing resto shaman and had some problems with my UI since i want to make the next step in this expansion and you literally saved me. You earned my sub

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad it helped!

[@dooleyh158]

You're the best! I tried your Holy priest talent setup and got KSM in 2 days. Edit for note - I was already at level 4-5 keys and struggling with my old setup. Then a tank yelled at me for having low DPS, I got mad but then watched your video, switched to your setup and then wow, yeah it worked very well. LOL

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad I could help!

[@MW-zy5gi]

i moved to CELL and use your cell profile, its excellent

[@KylaJargon]

The "Like and Subscribe" Layout had me rolling. 🤣🤣

[@tommileikomaa8866]

Wago now supports cell profiles. Could you upload yours there as well please? Would make finding the latest version easier. thanks!

[@xilllllix]

just switched to Cell and i used your guide to help me with some stuff that's not clear like external + defensive cooldowns etc

[@Sebleh]

I’ve been looking forward to this guide since you tweeted about getting Cell set up. Thanks for sharing!

[@mattuprinz]

Hi, thank you for this great video. I switched to Cell a week ago and I really like it. Used Grid2 with Clique before. Also very good but I like Cell a bit more. Take care.

[@DoctorTako]

I’m just switching to maining healer and this guide was so helpful. I got dps raid frames still so I needed to update and I’m going with Cell for sure

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad to hear!

[@IcyCrocus]

I found myself fed up with vuhdos options menu a few months ago and I also had an issue with it causing incredible client lag during my guilds Smolderon prog, so I spent some time searching for other party frame addons and also settled on Cell, I love seeing this as you were who I initially came to to learn how to set up vuhdo when I began using it, and I appreciate the extra insight on settings I missed. Cell is definitely the GOAT of healing frames.

[@adambutters2154]

This is something I'll definitely have to look into. I play a variety of roles so (imo) the more customization, the better

[@honeybadger_de]

Thanks for the video. The feature with "externals & defensive" is amazing. I used standard blizzard UI and tried to get this with a weak aura.... I definetly will try this addon! All the other features look nice too. The only thing I'm afraid of is setting it all up ;)

[@gstev1]

I will check it out this weekend, used all of the addons for healing, and this one looks the easiest by far!

[@Patient-957]

Great tutorial. I quit using Cell because I couldn't find how to turn on tooltips. Not sure how I missed it, but glad Jak showed it.

[@stefanfeldner]

How do you turn them on?

[@michaelandreasen993]

looks really good! thanks for the great walkthrough dude! much appreciated

[@AutomaticJak]

No problem!

[@Evokasm]

ive been looking for a new healing addon. i currently use healbot but this looks so much beeter and up to date. thank you for this video!

[@punker2534]

Thank you mate was looking forward to this since your last healing add-on video!

[@titouan666]

Target counter is great in rated Battleground to track the enemy team's focus and be ready to pump when they come on your mate

[@Totalnoob26]

For the sort by role you can just click and drag to role icon and move it to the order you like

[@Blackguy610]

Thanks for the video. Help me solve some of the problems I was having with cell.

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad it helped!

[@SOUNDWVE964]

Loving Cell so far. The settings UI is super clean and easy to use which can't always be said for some, (looking at you VuhDo).... My only critique would be the 'target' frame leaves something to be desired, but that is easily supplemented by something else if you wanted. I personally just use Shadowed Unit Frames strictly for my 'Target' frame.

[@CraptoryWoW]

Thank you for this guide! I Will be switching to Cell right away!

[@olzenkhaw]

So good the explanation. I hv used Vuhdo for 10++ years...may try to change to cell.

[@sbowesuk981]

Used Grid2 for years. Served me well but was always a nightmare to set up and tweak. Now returning to retail WoW and it finally looks like we having something that's just all-round better. Cell really nailed the settings/config design. Also if it runs better than Grid2, which I suspect it does, then that's very much welcome too.

[@louiseturner7201]

On Larador in Amirdrass, the trees that need healing and the roots do show up in the NPC frames.

[@PrecookedEagle]

I swapped to this somewhere midseason 4 of DF from always using Vudho and it's been great, it feels like jumping into the future when comparing those two haha

[@MrKrychaMr]

Thanks for the guide Jak, this addon seems great and I might try it out to help me with healing, but is it possible to disable click casting as I prefer to use the default blizzard mouse-over and keybind way

[@kennethvannorwick3557]

Shoot. I almost missed the like and subscribe spec. That was well done.

[@BoxxiCS2]

First off, I watch all your videos, you've helped me so much! I've gone from a healer scared to get into M+ to getting into the top 1% every season of DF with your videos, tips tricks and more. Now for the question since this is a "cell" video...I can't for the life of my figure out something with the cooldown trackers. I have them all set up, and they show up when being used BUT, can you get them to always stay visible and possibly only glow when being used by party members? Specifically being able to know what tank CD's are available to use. I know this is something omni cd does, but wondering if Cell has it too? Much Love Jack, keep pumping out those healer videos!

[@AutomaticJak]

I just use omnicd for those interactions yeah

[@dieanosis09]

Thanks for all your videos! Definitely helping me out!

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad to hear it!

[@benbast5384]

[@JuanbiWTF]

Cell is just amazing. It’s such a joy to use! I loved it so much that I donated to the creator

[@JoshuaHansell-ii6zw]

Growl got me onto cell, it's so good

[@devildux7457]

There's a nice snippet on the discord for enabling clicked/clique if you are like me and already have all your mouseover keybinds setup and don't want to change them over.

[@learncs88]

Very helpful video. Thank you for the time spent creating it.

[@PushbakYT]

Great guide. Just swapped from Vuhdo also... Is there a overall Opacity slider?

[@cyborgtemplar1989]

for the always targeting . . . keep that disabled for your own sanity. if it's on then you will fully target through cell and lose your present target. getting a kind of random target afterwards.

[@ryancooney9361]

Love the video, how do i hide the player frame? Is this something i can do with Cell, or do i need another addon to hide it?

[@Saurdeloth]

Also curious about replacing the player frame with the Cell frame, in addition to wondering if there's an option to hide pets from the party frames.

Did you say "Hot 2" or "Hawk Tuah"? Anyway, lovely video. I will definitely try this out. Thanks alot 👍

[@PierreLeroy76620]

Thank you for the guide. I tried to go away from elvui since the UI rework from blizzard. But healing required a bit more info and WA is very heavy. So maybe I'm going to try this one

[@warrenwright193]

Looks amazing - I'm worried my clique use might prohibit me swapping though. I use clique for more than just click-to-cast... I also use it for extra keybinds (since I have more than 64 on many toons), and extra macros (since I'm out of macro space as well). Hmm

[@streamnews]

already set it up and removed vuhdo. what a great addon. thanks!

[@faw192]

Hey jack, to start i gotta thank you for introducing this addon to us and i'm so appreciative of your content whether it's streaming, guides etc... although i have a question about Cell, whenever i open the cell panel and for example i open up the map or something else, Cell overlaps and it doesn't let me see what's underneath the panel, couldn't find a fix for it :/ and thank you for your time ^^.

[@AutomaticJak]

Glad you enjoy it! You can always drag cells option menu around by clicking and holding any of the menu tabs to move it off to the side

[@Wolfy527]

Do you find Cell to be better than ElvUI? I've been using ElvUI for years now and I'm hesitant to swap away from it, but I really like the simplicity of customization Cell seems to provide that you showed in the video. I've found ElvUI can be a bit cumbersome when looking for specific modifications in the settings, but this seems a lot more straightforward. Do you think it would be worth swapping my party and raid frames to Cell over ElvUI, or are the benefits negligible?

[@AutomaticJak]

I think its well worth it. I tested Elvui's frames and I hated how many menus I had to jump through to change settings around

[@Wolfy527]

@@AutomaticJak That is how I feel as well. I might redo my UI for TWW and see if I want to go forward without ElvUI at all, or maybe just substitute Cell in for my party/raid frames as they look a fair amount better than ElvUI's for how much effort I would have to put in to customize them. Thanks for the video, I appreciate it and plan on showing it to the other healers in my raid team so they can check it out as well!

[@siyoiii7709]

I used grid2 for the longest time and this is quite literally just a more intuitive grid2, so I gotta switch. Thanks for the video edit - also this shit has the Clique addon already in it, this is crazy

[@Memoocan]

I've been doing my best to adjust to Cell and for the most part, a fantastic transition. So much more info in a better format than Healbot that Ive used since Legion. But I cannot for the life of me get it to show keybindings like Healbot. I play so many healer classes that I forget which go where...what am I missing?

[@Rhaevyn-Hart]

LOL I love the Jenny song ref. Nice.

[@carrcossa]

I'm using ElvUI and Clique :D I really like it and works for me, but I liked Cell during my little test :) in the past always healbot xd

[@Elux91]

i love cell, thanks for showing it to the world. is it possible to use click casting, but to have right click go throughthe frame so i can turn my character?

[@alancoll1987]

I am currently using Grid2 and have been since I started healing in around December of last year. I have learned 90% of it but found out more this morning in fact which is awesome. This close to an expansion I will forgo going with Cell but its great that you will have this video here and link it Cell so I can choose it if I wish. Maybe end of season one of War Within and also after watching you stream with it I will like what I see. :D

[@Skiptoomyl0u]

I just swapped from grid2 to cell very happy with it

[@alancoll1987]

@@Skiptoomyl0u Cool. I may at some point. No need to stress myself about changing currently since I know I will have to alter Jak's setup since we all like our own. :)

[@illidari9157]

I was using grid until now, but from now on, I'll be using cell 😂

[@Unitos_]

@AutomaticJak Sorry if I missed it, but was there a "show self first" snippet?

[@dambros]

Cell is fantastic, my only complaint is that he isn't lightweight at all. I wish there was some saint that would create a config on grid2 that would make it similar to cell, because the performance difference is noticeable

[@sleeperandthejest]

Do you think they might add an npc/private tanks like vuhdo and click have? I just still have vuhdo on with its main pain hidden and private tanks tab on. Would be awesome if you passed the feedback on to include it

[@AutomaticJak]

Check the NPC healing chapter!

[@sleeperandthejest]

@@AutomaticJak sorry I should have mentioned it, your guide for it there was great but I feel the extra step is pretty clunky

[@dmsephiroth]

With an older monitor its sadly all too big, so i have to downsize it a lot ;D But thanks for uploading your profile Jack! I hope now my Heal will work. With normal Blizzard click casting it was not working sadly with shift+mousebutton.

[@Dabruceful]

Thanks Jak, I haven't watched the whole video yet but I will, just curious if you show how to use raid leader tab that this add-on over writes, like world markers, countdown, ready check etc?

[@BabyMakerMan]

Thanks for the great video Jak! I just had one question, after I imported the cell profile I found that my party members icons are not over their frame, so say, my hunter's icons will be over my tanks, etc. Is there a way to re-position the icons so they're in the correct players frame?

[@healwardurch3508]

Hey Jak, great vid, did already try add an glow on raid debuffs? When i add the glow on a debuff its not showing

[@KhandeeTV]

I clicked on this video thinking, "Let me go watch Jak's commercial for Cell." I am 2m44s into the video and am like, "Oh, I like that. Oh, I like that too." So, I apologize for the "judgment" you knew nothing about. I am looking forward to the rest of the video.

[@jshauns]

This may be a dumb question - I currently use OmniCD for many different CD's, both buffs and de-buffs. And is tied heavily into ElvUI. I'm trying to shift away to use Cell for healers.

[@AutomaticJak]

YeH that’s easy. Go dungeons/positions and then set the anchor point to cell frames instead of elvui

For Cell Import issues -Import in the **ABOUT** TAB -Make sure you copy the entire string and check for extra spaces at the start or end -Make sure you have the most up to date version of the addon for retail (I am always using the release version in curseforge)

[@JustSneepy]

I've been using cell since your last vídeo talking about all addons that you think are good for raid frames! It's so good right? So easy to custom and to add new spells/debuffs. All my friends want my pvp profile. I hope they still keep updating in War Within! But there are so many options, so many ways to improve your partyframesUI that Im still learning some features of cell, besides being so easy to set it up. Nice video bro. Keep it up Jak! ❤

[@Corvandus]

I gave it a go, but I'm so stuck on key buffs being a progress bar. As far as I could see, I couldn't do that in Cell so I'm back to Grid2 despite the time necessary to set it all up. Cell's UI was far more intuitive though.

[@Xakanis]

how do you change orientation of health loss (so its like the default frames), and how do you show the shield amount on the frames, like a discolored bar?

[@Bob-ox3ci]

Hi Jak, great video mate. For some reason the Cell profile from your website doesn't seem to be importing correctly. any idea what I might be doing wrong?

[@ludalss7169]

omg this is amazing!!

[@Operatorthaine]

I am loving cell, I just have 1 question and I haven't been able to figure it out. I have my bars where I like them for 20 man mythic but for heroic/epic battle battlegrounds, I have the bars continue off my screen. Is there a way to create a second grouping of bars for raid groups 5-8? so they sit above groups 1-4?

[@Fortheweak13]

Would be great they/him add an option the decrease alpha on health bar when full, otherwise this addon is really good

[@steveocho]

Is there a way to default target self if you're not mousing over a friendly or a frame? Like if I wanted to heal myself, do i HAVE to hover over my model / frame? Or is there a way to auto-self cast if my cursor is on, say, an enemy or just the environment? Also, are there only friendly spells for clickcasting? Why aren't there enemy spells as well? E.g. hovering over an enemy and clicking the assigned hotkey to interrupt.

[@ivanjovanovic2125]

Can i paste only raid proffile not party ? btw nice video :)

[@Sliezo]

Jak as a restro druid I like keeping track of my lifebloom, I'd like to keep it with the default HoT's so it moves over with the rest of my HoT's, however I'd actually like my lifebloom indicator to show up larger than the others just to have an easier time tracking it. I know I can set it to always be in a certain position but I feel like it would be easier just to have this one larger so I can just quickly glance and know im good. Is this possible?

[@Darkrampager]

An oddity I notice in most raidframes and specifically with healers is that most people always show themselves first/show themselves in raidframes in all contents yet they also have a personal bar for themselves, like how the base ui has a frame for you and your target. If you're always showing yourself in your party or raid frames why even bother having the identical information twice, just eliminate the personal bar altogether

[@AutomaticJak]

Mainly symmetry with the target bar

[@elkewtf]

Two quick questions: Is there a way to set up an audio trigger when someone has a debuff dispellable by you? Is there a way to add a flashing border to the frame when someone has a debuff dispellable by you? I have debuffs set so I can dispel easily in Cell but sometimes have a hard time seeing the color differentiation for the player unit. As such I'm still using Decursive, but would love to get rid of it.

[@Binionsoldboy]

Does cell allow for basic mouse-over party frame casting without making a macro for every spell and without having to click-cast? I want to be able to mouse-over all my heals using my party frames, but I don't want mouse over to be active when just holding cursor over a players character for example. Only the party frames, while also overriding my current target. I have always been able to do this with vuhdo, but I've never enjoyed vuhdo's user interface.

[@brendanalder8293]

Thanks for this mate - big help! Just a quick question, I am having an issue where where a buff such a natures swiftness etc is appearing really large to the left of my party frame. Any ideas?

[@AutomaticJak]

That’s another addon I believe

[@brendanalder8293]

@AutomaticJak you were right! Thanking you
