why do we need an enemy target to summon plants?

we should be able to cast it on ourselves if anything b:angry

at least this way we'll have 1 (or 13 if sleep plant b:dirty...if it even procs...) second to react before getting stealth killed. and it would also deter cheap spawn camp lurkers as well

in general i wish we could just choose an area to summon plants but i don't think any mechanism in this game would allow that b:surrender

    Seems pretty broken to me. You couldliterally just spam unstealth everything near you...

    Why would you anyway summon a plant if there's no enemies? Just go outside Arch and summon it on a mob or player.

    Because the plants have lives outside of being summoned and if you don't have an enemy around for them to deal with then they'd much rather stay at home with their plant families and the like.

    Always abusing the poor summons as if they don't have lives outside of helping you folks. Pfft!


    Translation: Because the devs said so and the game was designed with having a target for things in mind. Every skill in the game either requires you to select a target, or will target the caster with no option to select a target. Changing that now would probably be more work than the devs are able/willing to put into this or get screwed up by some obscure deadline/requirement from the folks that pay the devs.

    I'm pretty sure the barbs level 79 stun doesn't either o:
