I want more ground-targeting.

Like, DRK's Salted Earth you could macro it to be centered on a target, but what if you're in a duty and need to drop it in the middle of a group of pulls, not on the boss?

You can macro it to drop on your location instead of your current target. Though that opens up the possibility of misclicking it and dropping the salt far away from the boss. Macroing it to target an enemy also runs into issues when that enemies is a boss like the Idol of Darkness—the boss's center is off-stage, and so the game thinks you're trying to place Salted Earth at an invalid location.

It's a really annoying ability, honestly.

The Idol of Darkness issue is actually why I swapped over to using a <me> macro for Salted Earth, stupid thing kept erroring out when I tried to use it in my standard double-weave opener. Sure, the macro had a fail-safe line that pulled up the ground targeting circle just in case, but it was such a colossal pain to try and drop the AoE while also working Plunge into the double-weave and it usually caused me to clip my GCD and lose a Blood Weapon. So yeah, swapped to <me>, works better I find. Not the best because there's the issue you mentioned of course, but here's hoping I never fat-finger and screw up.
