Netbots works for out of group heals (and buffs). It works very well. Modbot and Killian's e3 and other boxing focused macros rely on Netbots.
I've never used NetHeal. Some of the features look nice but I've heard from multiple sources (including authors of the above macros) that NetHeal just doesn't cut it.

To give you an idea of how reliable and quickly it works. We have a plugin mq2emuinventory. The way it works is a bit convoluted but it is that way to make it more customizable. Basically I added item icon numbers for your inventory to netbots. Then a user, using macro variables, can describe what An inventory looks like in an ini. So the path from one char to another's screen is:
Char 1 netbots builds the transmission sequence containing item icons numbers. Delivers it to eqbc. Char2 receives it on eqbc, hands it off to netbots. Char 2 netbots parses the transmission sequence and loads all the data into a class. Then when it is accessed using TLO variables another class searches that data class and delivers the data to the screen. The inventory plugin adds another layer because those macro variables are saved in an ini file and contain other custom values that need to be parsed. That actually makes it slightly slower than netbots usually is. Also there is the whole graphics class that slows it down too. Even with the slower performance you can see in the video below that netbots is still quite quick and reliable. Between every item move all of this stuff has to happen, including a remote command being sent to the other toon to move the item... If netbots wasn't reliable or it was slow this would all fall apart.
TL;DR netbots is a bit complicated but still fast; mq2emuinventory even adds more layers and it's still fast.

Thats pretty cool, Thanks alot for the Explanation that went miles with me understanding how its setup. After some Testing, This is def fast, and works Great, Starting to set it up with Buffs and other stuff now
I threw together this Macro to use netbots for healing, dont seem to hard to figure out, Now i just need to get more into the plugin and see what i can do with it
(Shaman Macro for THF Feel Free to Share, Im still learning)
