Configuring Satrina Buff Frames Part 1: The Basics

I am going to do a short series on some of the million things you can do with Satrina Buff Frames 3, at the request of my lovely Lunaris guildie Barbi.

Tutorial: Intro to mouseover heals

Since then, I’ve had several healing characters, who used mouseover macros with different levels of effectiveness, and finally now, on Norrah, I’ve found the macro that does just about everything you could possibly ask for.
