[Bug] Specilization/Roles in Cata Classic

[livejamie]

The spec players selected aren't displayed in Cata Classic, so you don't know if a Druid is Feral, Balance, Resto, etc.

Is this a limitation of Cata Classic?

The primary purpose is to identify healers on the other team.

Do you have access to Roles or Classes? Or can you detect when somebody has healed and set an icon or something in the frames?

Or if you have any other ideas.

Thanks for your hard work.

Hey, sorry for the very late reply. Its basically a limitation of the gamme up to Cataclysm. since there basically are no fixed specs with the talent tree system. The addon would have to rely on healing done from the scoreboard which can be a hit and miss and requires calculations to assume who could be a healer.

Thanks for the response. How does "Healers have to Die" accomplish this? https://github.com/2072/H-H-T-D

I just quickly looked at the repo and without digging too deep into the code it looks like it checks for used spells (Core.lua line 295)

Yeah, if you wanted, you could do something similar and identify a healer once they use a spell that is only accessible to a specific specification, but I understand if that's annoying. :)
