Changes to subtarget.

[Rowyne]

Why don't you heal in the following way:-

Select spell and click name in party list.. its basically the same thing.. d'oh

Why would you even by hitting enter when you have a mouse to confirm the spell with, try it sometime you might surprise yourself how much easier it is.

Because I was a raid healer in WoW for four years, and that is how you heal with the stock UI (disregarding mouseover addons, etc). You select the target, then select the spell. If you do it the other way around (like you suggested) with the auto self-cast option turned on, you're just going to be casting a whole lot of spells on yourself.

So, yes, I am a keyboard & mouse user. In fact, Yoshi-P said he was putting this option in the game because that is how kb/mouse gameplay generally works in modern MMOs.

I only used 'hit enter' as an example because it is the most clunky way to get through what is already a clunky confirmation. Whether you hit enter, click with your mouse, or press a button on your keypad, it's an extra step. And wanting to revert to subtargetting always on, taking away a toggle which removed that redundancy, would only disappoint the many people who were posting some very positive feedback about this change.

Again, if it is to make healing yourself easier, it would make more sense to do it the way many modern MMOs do and give us the option of auto self-cast. If you cast a beneficial spell on an invalid target (enemy or no target), it will automatically cast on yourself.
