Currently, players can't actively target themselves. They can passively target themselves if no friendly units are selected but that targeting system gets wonky and usually results in a friendly unit being targeted anyway.
For example, certain healing powers don't properly heal the player casting the spell but instead do nothing or heal a team mate that doesn't need the healing. I like the idea of auto self casting spells (hooray) but I would prefer the option to target myself if I choose to do so.
Yeah I went looking for a self targeting button in the options. During the large end of Open Beta event I kept loosing myself as a target for healing and often dying because of it. In all the confusion even if i tried to click on my self I was unable to target myself.
I agree.
It got pretty aggravating today when I realized I was down to 20% health, and seeing that I don't have my teammate targeted, I go to heal myself. Since I had an enemy targeted, it automatically targeted my teammate. I figured since I was targeting an NPC it would heal myself, but no, it transfers the heal to my teammate. So, I usually click Esc to unclick any targets. Sometimes it would bring up the menu screen which is annoying in the middle of a fight.
Its frustrating not being able to target myself. I have to sort of passively target myself if that makes sense.
Oh, and I wish healing was quicker/reliable. I hate having my one heal interrupted by damage tics and waiting for that 5.5 sec recharge.:mad:
What is the bind for clearing all targets? I know esc does it... but what is the bind linking a combo like (targetself -> usepower->cleartargets) to one button?
