    Flashbacks to 2005 and changing all my stal macros to stpc because I needed to heal outside of alliance...

    and I never changed them back. Wow. This would save so much trouble now since everything I do now is lowman anyway.

    <stpt> works I guess but idk why they didn't just let you target the persons name instead of their char, names never blink. Guess there is a good reason they didn't but seems the most obvious answer.

    Personally I wonder why they don't let you target points instead of models. You can still take damage from an invisible monster, so you should be able to target them as well. Then again, many HNM are just invisible and still at the spot they died, so you'd be able to target those as well.

    I guess SE should have made a variable called "targetable" when they began programming so they could have solved all these problems by looking if it is true.

    When you use <stpt> you -do- target the character name in the party list. Same with <stal>.

    What makes things worse for me is when people are all frantically running about and getting hurt. If people stayed together more healing would be much easier. I'd much rather cast 1 cure that costs 2x as much MP and hit 3-6 people rather than sit there and spam a cure down the list and use up too much mana, because people don't know how to stay organized. I hate being a healer at a worm party. "I'd love to Accession Phalanx, Blink, Stoneskin, and Aquaveil you BUT NONE OF YOU GUYS ARE ANYWHERE NEAR EACH OTHER!"

    Scholar's potential is utterly and drastically damaged when people can't stay together in Abyssea. Learn to be a pack. Not a bunch of cockroaches frantically running for their lives. It would be great if you only had 1 healer per party, and that healer is responsible for curing everyone, but with Atma of the Allure, they can spam AoE cures and get everyone in tip top shape in a hurry rather than casting one AoE spell on one person and he takes off to the left, and everyone else goes to the right and then everyone wipes cause they just aren't being effective. There's a difference between 3 groups all being able to get out of AoE range if neccessary, and a full alliance being so spread out that the healers have to get into AoE range in order to cure people who are almost dead and just barely out of AoE range on the opposite side of the NM.

    I always thought that this was just what it meant to be a healer. It's troublesome and annoying, but there isn't much you can do about it. In small parties, you can make macros with their name on the end instead and then you don't have to worry about it. Especially for the tanks. Large alliance parties are just difficult, all you can do is try and catch them in between gear changes. I've done the <stpc>, but there have been times when I am going through the list and someone else changes gear and you lose your place and have to start over If you are watching what the mob is doing though, a lot of times you can predict when someone is going to need healing as well and cure them before they change gears

    The problem with this is while you are moving your cursor through the list of players to get to a certain one, if anyone switches gear while your cursor is on them, you will lose this function and have to start again.
