AoE ON/OFF please allow player to set the differ between support-spell/attack spell!

So basically due to laziness or frustration you want it to become completely mindless?

I would just like to see a much more functional spell system. I feel that having some spells aoe and some single target by default would give better time management. Instead of having to find and press an aoe macro between every spell (as I often have to do), I would prefer to just be able to cast what I need to when I need to.
I think it would make for mages who are more helpful and efficient in battle.

To make it easier either

- Make separate AoE(-aga) and single target.
- Make it so healing and enhancing magic are perma-AoE.
- Make it so that when you select/click on a spell and press left or right to make them AoE then cast.

I agree with points 1 and 2 but think they should just get rid of the toggle entirely. Separate the spells and adjust action points as necessary. They should leave enhancing magic the way it is but make them perma AoE, seperate all offensive and healing magic into -ga and single target spells. People saying this stupid aoe toggle injects a sense of challenge into the game are just grasping at straws. Having to strategically decide when to use which spell and what spells you need to equip and when is much more an "authentic" challenge. This game needs strategy, not unnecessary button pushing.

Just shift + action bar spell = AoE

That's why we need a better, larger action bar instead of macros.

Right there with ya sister. I'm a conjurer myself, and it IS annoying. Don't get me wrong, I like a good challenge. I was a ffxi player for quite a while and the challenging aspects of that game was among most of the things that I loved about it. I do think their is a fine line, though, between challenging and just plain ridiculous. The same could be said with convenience and, what Cheebone said originally, letting the game play itself. I like a challenge, but that whole problem you spoke of is not a challenge. It's dumb. But that's just my opinion, of course ^^ So yeah, I totally agree it should be rectified. If not, oh well. I can live with it =/

In FF IV you have aoe spells and non-aoe spells in one, too.
What is hard about to press Z to switch the aoe mode?

[Synapse]

i think people should take into account that there are also players that use controller when bringing in new ideas. I believe there is AoE toggle on controller, im not sure.

[TessaJalloh]

on keyboard, AOE toggle = Z

on controller AOE toggle = emote button/battle regimen button

the more you know.

What I find the worst is that it remembers it's last state.

If it was always off by default it would be much harder to AoE by mistake.
