It gives you big ol' health bars for every player in the group (not companions though).

 

They look like this

You can put the bars on your screen in a place that works for you. For righties, that's probably slightly above and to the right of your bottom toolbar, but it doesn't matter, whatever works for you is best.

 

Then to target that player for healing, you can click on the healthbar, and then click the button for your heal.

 

 

It occured to me that while a lot of folks know this already, a lot of folks don't. Be kind and pass this along to your healer buddies.

Ah, thank you this is wonderful.

 

Has anyone figured out a way to make the buffs/debuffs more noticeable? I find myself having to squint at times to see when a new one appears. Even better would be color coding of buffs/debuffs, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. :)

The most annoying thing as a healer (besides the fact that its nearly impossible to target something with your mouse and that every little thing breaks your line of sight) are the names and Titles.

 

In your health bar, the team member may be called Wadda. But ingame, his name is the untargatable Wadda ***. If you now see someone being focused and you want to heal him, you have to look for him in your ops healthbar listing and in if hes not the only one with low hp, you will often target the wrong one.
