Simple AOE Mage Poll

Lyndis, try telling one of my LS members that, every time he nukes he hits something he wasnt suppose to or the mobs we're fighting go for him and when he AoE heals the mobs we're fight go after him....either way he dies

wow alot of votes so far and at this point it is still dead even. the only problem is alot are voting to remove it and have no clue of why it's being removed other than a hope or quoting reasons for the change that have nothing to do with it at all. hate management and mp costs have nothing to do with toggle being removed so it is just another change for the sake of change.

Exactly why SE can't win with this community

Remove AoE toggle and additional actions aoe specific. I posted this since beta and I doesn't change my mind.

Although I must admit tht current system have it's own feeling, pressing another god damn button to cast aoe is not fun.

Its funny, I don't seem to have a Z on my controller.

That being said, I don't mind the toggle one bit, but I think separate spells, if spaced out (not just given at the same time as the single target ones) like in FFXI, would offer more "upgrade" opportunities (or things to spend guild marks on).

Devilsjester, i believe its assigned to one of the buttons by default, if not you can assign it to a button if yo wish

You can AoE toggle with a controller. In my setup it's button 4, which is △ button in PS controllers.

it's whatever button you use on your controller to open your macros. z is the default on the keyboard.

Yes, its the Emote list stack battle commands option

Even if the poll atm is fairly even, SE has already decided to remove it in the future. it means they have something better planned for AoE. I dont like having to press one extra button before casting each time I need to cast... every single time ...

I'm reserving my "cancel my preorder" responses for when I actually see the new battle system. I didn't like having to hit enter twice either, but I hope that whatever they have planned still lets us toggle freely.

yeah cause either having 2 of each spell or having one type of spell AoE only and another Single target only(Eg. Silence=AoE, Paralyze=Single target) is a load better /sarcasm

I find it quite easy to toggle it on and off specially if your fighting an NM where its ScourgeII, CureII, BanishII. It is annoying when you cock up but make a joke out of it and hope your comrades are in a funny mood.

Anything to get rid of the annoying confirmation that we have to press whenever we need to cast a spell.

It boggles my mind that so many people are voting for option 1. You seriously want multiple action bars populated by multiple, redundant copies of spells all because you can't be arsed to press z occassionally? o.O

That has nothing to do with the toggle. It's part of the targeting system - even if they removed the toggle, under the current system you would still need to confirm.

Increase action slots then give me firaga, firaja whatever they hell they want. Don't increase and this will be my face -.-

Check this thread, the last pages:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...JP-4gamer-site

it seems it has already been decided that spells will be separated into single target and ~aga spells. I do not understand japanese, and Reinheart is in the process of translating. Dont be naive to think the development team is not aware of the cluttering this will create on the action bar if not implemented correctly. I have confidence they will get it right.

They need to drastically increase the mp consumption for aoeing healing spells, healing in this game is a mindless joke. Make the healers have to think and use aoe heals or single target heals at the appropriate times. Casting an aoe cure 2 or 3 every 10 seconds is lame.
