    You cant scroll party list and use actions like eukrasia or draw at the same time. They're either gonna lock on your current target (unlocking from the mob you wanna attack) or the cursor will just disappear. The only way to deal with it is to macro or eukrasia before scroll or losing DPS.

    I wanted to come back to this really quick because I think I found a solution recently, in two parts:

    1. Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Mouse -> Scroll Up/Down -> Scroll up/down through Party List
    2. Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Target -> Switch target circle to target select

    Scrolling through the party list defaults as a "soft" target, that would disappear when using a skill/spell. This changes it to a regular target, where it will remain as your target until you change it yourself.

    On the topic of macros, while I don't recommend them, my favorite thing to do with them in my early days was to make "smart" dps skills. For instance:

    /micon "Dosis"
    /macroerror off
    /ac "Dosis" <t>
    /ac "Dosis" <tt>
    /ac "Dosis" <ft>
    This way, the spell will first be used on whatever you have targeted. If your target is invalid (a party member maybe) then it'll use it on your target's target. If there is no target's target, then it'll use it on your focus target. Since you can't cast Dosis twice instantly, only the first valid line will actually make it to cast, everything after won't be checked. That means if you do something like this, always keep <t> as the first one. Usually if you're targeting something, you're doing it for a reason (especially if it's really important).

    Unfortunately you can't do this with heals, since any invalid target defaults to healing yourself. Hopefully this is useful for people who want to use macros.
