:confused:Ok, im a clerek, so obviously my job is to support attacks and heal squad members...

This job is extremely harder than I should be because of 1 reason: The user interface is awefull...

Example:

I am clerek in a squad of 6 members counting myself... For ease of explination, i will give the squad members numbers starting from the top dow... Top is number 1 and bottom is number 5...

Ok...the battle begins...

I immediately click on the lead tank (#1)... When i think he has a target I click assist... Doh... he doesnt have a target... Now I have to click on #1 again... Now assist... :eek:STILL NO TARGET? I have to click on #1 again... click assist... finally a target... Thunderbot/Cylcone... #1 is taking damage and needs healed... YET AGAIN, i have to click on #1... now i can heal #1... Oops, i forgot to click on #1?? I just healed MYSELF??? My tank is dieing and the clerek just healed HIMSELF!!! Ok, now I click on #1, who really needs healed now, Now I can heal him...(even though he almost died just now)... Now I have to click on assist again... WHAT??? NO TARGET AGAIN?? ARE YOU FLIPPIN SERIOUS??? Now I have to click on #1 again, click assist, get an actual target or repeat it again, Thunderbolt/Cyclone... etc, etc, etc... target is now dead... #1 has a new target and the same loooooong process starts all over again... Getting my point yet?:mad:

Here's an easy way to fix it:

1) When squad member #1 is highlighted... Have a green "targeted" outline around his info... That squad member should remain targeted unless I click on either myself, or another member...

So if #1 is selected, and i click assist and he has no target... #1 still remains my target, so all i have to do is click assist again and again until he has a target, which then becomes mine...

Once #1's target is selected, #1 still has that green targeted outline around his info box and is my targeted squad member, and i am attacking his target, i should be able to click the heal button to heal #1 without selecting him, because enemies are never the target of a bonus or healing spell...

If you would please use this system, we will be able to select any squad member, assist his attacks, and heal him without having to do a whole bunch of extra work... Believe me, it gets confusing when you have 5 squad members to support... I end up clicking the mouse all over the place like a mad man... Sometimes a second or 2 goes by when i am expecting a supporting attack to go through, but no one is targeted... This kills squadmembers... Please fix this so I can now do my job efficiently and effectively WITHOUT THE HEADACHE ...

2) Please, AT LEAST, put the assist button available in a macro... So I can place them in the following order... [ASSIST TARGET][CYCLONE][THUNDERBOLT]... Now all I would have to do is click on my primary squadmember... He gets the green box... And I can press 2 hotkeys instead of wearing the bottom of my mouse off... Thanks!!!:D

    I've had problems like this, too. I have my tank selected, I press heal, yet for some reason I heal myself. This has happened probably at least 3 times to me.

    1.) agreed.....
    1b) lol this works in no mmorpg that i know so far...and it shouldnt...why should a cleric be allowed to select 2 targets at once?

    overall suggestion: improve ur skills in playing an mmorpg and dont spam just ur skills...
    u have eyes to see...so use them to assure the guy u want to assist has a target...

    Look, if you arent a clerec, or are only concerned about yourself in game, please dont post here... thanks...

    PS... I am NOT suggesting that only the clerec be able to select a primary squad member, i am suggesting that ALL players are able to do so... And I have played games that do exactly that, and they are very successfull... And I dont "Spam" skills... what I do is heal an entire squad, if you dont know how to do that, then please dont reply here...

    Thanks 8)

    If you have a mob selected and click heal, you auto heal YOURSELF... All I am suggesting, is that if you have a primary squad member selected, that you heal him instead of yourself...

    And I have played many games that work like that... THEY ARE THE BEST ONES...

    And dont call people "Spammers" when you dont know what you are talking about... you embarrass yourself

    dont think he has a target (cos thinking is a matter of luck for some ppl) make sure he has one and stop spamming ur ASSIST shortcut
    #1 is taking damage and needs healed... YET AGAIN, i have to click on #1... now i can heal #1... Oops, i forgot to click on #1?? I just healed MYSELF??? My tank is dieing and the clerek just healed HIMSELF!!! Ok, now I click on #1, who really needs healed now, Now I can heal him...(even though he almost died just now)...

    ammm?!? ooops i forgot to click on #1?? I just healed MYSELF???

    looool... and i say it again BOON.... what a surprise u heal urself when u forget to select the char that should be healed...the only annoying fact in PW about healers is, that PW reacts really slow. this means if u have selected a monster and then select a SQUAD member and hit ur HEAL shortcut too fast u still autoheal urself..u have to make sure that the yellow circle which marks ur selection is around that SQUAD member...
    try it out 4 urself. take a friend..make squad..hit his name in the SQUAD tab and measure how long it takes till the yellow cicle marks ur friend..and get used 2 that time so u wont accidently autoheal urself.....
    Now I have to click on assist again... WHAT??? NO TARGET AGAIN?? ARE YOU FLIPPIN SERIOUS??? Now I have to click on #1 again, click assist, get an actual target or repeat it again, Thunderbolt/Cyclone... etc, etc, etc... target is now dead... #1 has a new target and the same loooooong process starts all over again... Getting my point yet?:mad:

    normally not worth an comment but:

    1. open ur eyes

    2.stop spamming ur shortcuts

    3.u r the healer so do ur job. concentrate on healing.
    no one needs ur dmg in a SQUAD with mages and archhers
    Here's an easy way to fix it:

    1) When squad member #1 is highlighted... Have a green "targeted" outline around his info... That squad member should remain targeted unless I click on either myself, or another member...

    So if #1 is selected, and i click assist and he has no target... #1 still remains my target, so all i have to do is click assist again and again until he has a target, which then becomes mine...

    still agreed except: "That squad member should remain targeted unless I click on either myself, another member or a monster...
    Once #1's target is selected, #1 still has that green targeted outline around his info box and is my targeted squad member, and i am attacking his target, i should be able to click the heal button to heal #1 without selecting him, because enemies are never the target of a bonus or healing spell...

    an absolut no go: in ALL mmorpgs its normal to just be able to select ONE target. so if u choose ASSIST the monster becomes ur new SELECTED TARGET. if u want to heal now u have to change TARGET again. lol just imagine PvP with ur stupid idea..having enemy player selected and also be able to heal whomever u want to cos u have a "FOE SELECTION" and a seperate "SQUAD SELECTION" loooooooool name 1 mmo that works that way......
    I end up clicking the mouse all over the place like a mad man... Sometimes a second or 2 goes by when i am expecting a supporting attack to go through, but no one is targeted...

    looool "clicking the mouse all over..." ?!?!? how about just clicking the names in the squad tab (u know tha cute li list that apears when u have a squad) instead of clicking ur mouse all over the place?

    "a second or 2" lol improve ur reaction time.....
    2) Please, AT LEAST, put the assist button available in a macro...

    jop woud be nice but isnt neccessary.....
