about distance and stuff

When you target a monster the MP/TP points (next to the ability in the hotbar) will be red until the monster is in range, then it will switch to white, then you can attack.

I just keep wishing there were an equivalent for AoE skills centering on ourselves. As Bard, I need to make sure I stay within 20 yalms of the healer in case he/she needs my Mage's Ballad, but there's nothing to indicate quite how far that is. I still don't have a very good feel for it.

Same thing for Cover on my PLD its within 10 yalms. The measurement system has to be comparable to US/metric measurements, ilms being inches/centimeters, yalms being yards/meters and malms being miles/kilometers. So 10 yalms should roughly be 30 feet (US) and so on, as to how to judge that in game, should be about 10 steps, roughly (probably a little less). The scaling seems a little off as if I had to go 10 malms in the game, on foot that would take some time to get there.

this annoys me so much in ST/WoD when a healer in my group likes to run around to other side of the room for god knows what.. when i see thier MP runnin low gotta run around looking for them just so they get the ballad buff = =
