Solution to "blinking"

[Rya]

Note: This is probably the first time I've posted without reading the whole thread... but my vision is blurring. Sowwies

I saw a lot of: "I can't target to cast on people."

But what about: "I can't target to locate people." ?

Someone did mention distance for AoE SCH buffs, but there are a number of things that require you to be aware of distance from targets, and especially with 18+ people, you might not know exactly where PT#2's BRD is or whatever. Perhaps the quickest way to size up someone's distance is to target them (such as via PT list) and lock-on.

Yes, you can "target" him with <stpt>/<stal>, or by typing:
/ma Paralyna Bardvark" (awesome name btw)
...but you still don't know if he's in range.
-- Or what direction to run in, if you get SE's patented Red Text of Almost!

So, now if you can't tab/arrow/xyz through the list (esp. due to blinking), then you would need to type:
/ta Bardvark
...but that seems time-consuming doesn't it?


Still, <stpt> & <stal> were the best thing ever when they came out, and I pretty much barfed my delicious tasty beverage all over my computer screen when I read the update notes, due to excitement. Needless to say, I use them both religiously, all day every day, on every job, for every ability, constantly, forever. They're the bestest! Thanks SE!

Sidenote: If you try to lock-on right when someone blinks your cursor away, you ANNOYINGLY heal! (takes forever)
