Suggestion support class issue

[Cheif314]

Im not entirely sure if it is all support classes, but at least clerics have an issue with healing everybody. while in pvp I have found that often times ill end up healing my enemy instead of myself or my Allies with both area heals as well as target heals. If possible I hope that there can be a way to lock support class heals to only themselves unless within a party, and if in a party to only party members.

So far this has been a main/big issue as cleric (especially since they are heavy support)

Side note / curiosity. I'm not sure how many classes have revive, but shouldn't that skill be pure support skill? I think paladins are able as well. (honestly not that important)

There are targeting tags that restrict what target will receive. Using /skill -tp will cause the skill to only target players in your party, alleviating your issue of healing the enemy. For more info, you can find the full list of targeting parameters on the wiki.

This isn't a bug, simply add -tp at the end of your skills. For example /skill scaredtouch -tp this makes it to where you can only heal your party members.

I thought heals were supposed to use party targeting by default though or did that change?

-ts self
-to other
-tp party

Nope, they will target any player by default.

My point was they used to be and just being curious why that changed.

Well in that case, I have no idea. It was most likely a design choice to help noobs heal without having to party up.

A lot of stuff has changed. They also took out name bind heals for some reason.

name binding has been gone forever. That was removed in dragonguarde/bastion.

Na, I believe we had it in Haven. Was def in on bastion.

Regardless, I think we should change back to party healing it's more new player friendly so they don't have to learn obtuse arguments for commands which cannot be found in-game only by digging through the wiki.

If new players were indeed having issues because they were trying to heal their friends outside of a party that shows that we've got an education problem as opposed to an issue with mechanics.
