using Vala's Light in a non-awkward way

superalfgorn

So I love Vala's Light for my melee support toons. Being able to self heal and group heal as a PBaoE sounds great...

but.

1) I seem to target ppl out of range when in group content: is there a way to always auto-target yourself with it?

2) I notice a huge delay when trying to charge it. Maybe because the firs tap chooses a target and the second starts to charge it? When I quickly tap it its not a problem as much...

The key bind to target yourself is "target_self".

So making a keybind for stringing that with vala's light would be something like
/bind XX "target_self $$ +PowerTrayExec XX"

I am not sure removing the option of targeting others would be a good idea, so you'll probably want a separate key that activates it normally.

Ty.

I guess I type:

/bind XX "target_self $$ +PowerTrayExec XX"

in the chat window?



I guess it is pointless to keep the possibility to target others since its a PBaoE. I wonder why it targets in the first place.....

Yes but change the first XX to teh key you want to use, and the second on to the number of the power slot you set vala's light to.

So for instance if you want to set it to your first slot and activate it with your 1 key your'd use:
/bind 1 "target_self $$ +PowerTrayExec 0"

If you want to set it to your last slot and activate it with K, you'd use:
/bind K "target_self $$ +PowerTrayExec 13"
