I'm really sorry mages ; ;

Hello,

As a Mage (and someone who will ignore a lot of the 'ranting' so far), I'm glad you got to experience the other side of the curing world ^^; Normally it's nto a big issue, but it is when the tank (or targets) are insistent on running as much as possible without even thinking of stopping.

Such as in DH, or even XP parties, when the tank gets cured, then runs off (still at 50%) out of range and gets beaten up.

It's a pretty simple mechanic: You are hurt? You want to be cured? Let the mage cure you.

The system works fine if those involves are mindful of this limitation and act accordingly.

There is perhaps a legitimate concern for controller users (sorry, I am only on a keyboard and would never ever use a controller) with regard to being able to stop moving and cancelling spells. Am curious if it is at all possible for Controller Users to switch to Keyboard until at least PS3 support is completed?

Exactly this.

As a warmage kitty, it's not been difficult at all to adjust to not curing/casting while moving on my WHM, and I'm not always easily adjustable either.

Thank you for your on-topic reply. Obviously because I'm only lvl 14, I'm doing a lot of solo leves and running around alot chasing all the mobs who go find their friends - somewhat atypical. So I realize my experience is somewhat unique. But I like your point which I didn't see in too many of the rants. That the non-mage players need to adapt as well. They need to realize they can't be running all over the place now, but stand still if they want to be healed.

I have a keyboard right in front of my and I might try macroing in /facetarget for the few spells I know just to see how it goes, but there's no way I'll completely go keyboard

I still think spell interruption as its implemented seems cobbled together and from what I'm reading that might be intentional. 2.0 can't come fast enough :P
