Easier way to cure party members!

So for those that don't know this, I have just now found an easier way to cure people on the fly. I can use my mouse to double click the names of people in my party and the spell will be cast on them! Since the targeting system still needs vast improvement and it takes a while to tab through party members, double clicking on their name means much faster and more responsive cures and buffs!

Just thought I would share for those that did not know about this.

How do you do this?

Do you mean clicking the names in the PT list to choose ur target?

Yes double clicking the names of the people in your party list will cast whatever spell.

More in depth:

1. Click on the spell or ability.
2. Double Click the person in your party list.
3. Watch as you cast away on the fly no more tab key lag!

You can do the same thing with enemies. I have found while in party or grinding to use WASD keys for movement. The UI is clickable through everything, The icon with the sword is passive or fight mode, the little arrows above and below the # on your action bar will switch between the different pallets. Click the spell then double click either on your party or on the enemy.

Oh yeah ok. I heard they were going to add/fix this. Cool! Thanks for the heads up Technolust. :D

You are welcome!

I usually just use the F keys, Like F1 is me, F2 is member #2, F3 is member #3, etc.

Yeah that's true too. That I thought that was a really nice feature in XIV. Thanks for the reminder Divine Ayumi! :D

Hell, I got to be honest, I thought this is how everyone did it.....Lord knows its how everyone I know has been doing it for a long time, but I assumed ater the dev post in which it was specified that you can cast spells this way, that everyone was aware of this capability.

Thanks a million!

Or, make the following macro:

/ac "Cure III" <stpc>

Hit the macro to "load" the cure spell, then single click on someone's name in your party list, or press enter to cure yourself.

Only two "clicks" instead of three.

That's how it works for me anyway, and I don't use a macro. >_>

With the macro you don't have to actually click on the spell on your action bar. There are more useful spells for Con than will fit on a single row, and the less time spent rotating between bars 1-3 the better, especially in the dungeon.

Im using an Xbox controller with Targetting mode as. Enemy, Friendly, Party.
I find it pretty easy that way:)
