Heals targeting self

[xAlice]

I am also concerned about this issue. I tend to heal myself at random when I have tanks targeted, focus targeted, facing them AND mouse over on them. I dont really know where to even begin trying to figure out where the issue is. Theoretically, if my tanks are on target, focus target, AND my mouse is over focus target, I should actually be healing said person. Yet, here and there a really important heal gets wasted on me. Is it really the mouse over that has become an issue? Didn't really notice it pre-2.1 patch.


Can someone explain more about the "face target" macro though? I'm a little confused. Does that mean that heals with this function will heal the Focus target?

Edit: I've a theory. What if the server registers one target at a time because "target's target" is merely a function that exists in game client only? Just to clarify though, while I don't dps in T4, it does still happen. It's possible that other variables had caused the issue in T4 and that I just haven't picked up on it.

No, it just makes your character turn and face your target. It's the same as hitting the F key or having the setting turned on to automatically face your target with every skill. JonFarron was saying you can use it (sometimes) to tell if you're casting on the right target, since you'll (sometimes) turn around, whereas self-healing will keep you facing the same direction.

I suspect there might be a little bit of delay between clicking on someone and having them registered as a valid target. Have you ever tried targeting someone who's not quite in range (the run back from a wipe in CT, for example)? Sometimes the client seems like it's trying to target them, and then realizes it can't and gives up. I think I've had it actually put the little yes-really-targeted outline around them in the party list for a split second before switching back. There might be enough of a disconnect for this to be the issue when there are no macros in play. You click the player, then click your keybind, then the client decides the target is valid, but you're already self-casting.
