    Heals targeting self

    Is anyone else having this problem? I've never had this issue until recently, but my heals keep randomly targeting me even though I have tank targeted and in range. Fortunately, it hasn't caused any disasters yet but it's certainly creating more stressful situations than I care to deal with.

    Are you using any macros? If for some reason the macro causes you to heal no target or an enemy, it will automatically default to yourself.

    Are you trying to heal someone that just got revived? Freshly revived players have an immunity set about a second or two after the animation is finished.

    I do on my SCH but not on my WHM, but I'm having the same issue on both. I'm having this happen even when I'm literally in the tank's face with him focus targeted. I'm baffled because this literally has never happened until just a couple of days ago.

    No, I'm aware of that.

    Macros designed to heal the <tt> while focusing on the mob can cause this.

    This is the macro I use on my SCH.

    /macroicon "Physick"
    /ac "Physick" <t>
    /ac "Physick" <me>
    /pac "Embrace" <t>


    I thought it might've been the <me> causing problems but that should be getting overwritten unless <t> was out of range, which hasn't been the case. Plus I'm seeing this problem on my WHM too, and I don't have macros for WHM.

    Should I post this in technical/bug? I feel like an idiot since this doesn't seem to be happening for anyone else. >>

    Guys, it's NOT from macros.

    It can happen even if you manually target....happens to me all the time. Not sure if the game is dropping the tanks packets or mine, but you go to Cure the tank, and Cure lands on you...causing you the fun of double curing.

    Happens to me more in dungeons when switching from casting a DD spell on the mob, turning CS off> targeting tank and curing...I target tank directly in party list. If I do it 'too fast' Cure lands on me and not the tank. It can also happen if you go to change party member targets to heal (happened to me today in Haukke HM), have tank targeted, needed to heal a dd, targeted DD, cast cure and cured myself causing me to have to re-cast real quick on DD.

    It does seemingly only happen if you switch targets...so Switch from tank to another party member it can happen or Switch from Mob to tank same thing. I think it's because we can change targets/start healing faster than the game knows we did it. It SUCKS royally though.

    I don't know why it happens, but it is a known issue amongst WHM's. Don't know if SE is going to fix/can fix though.

    But it is NOT a macro script error. You can replicate the same issue without using a macro.

    If this really is the case, then I think the problem is on my end. Now that I think about it, this has been coinciding with me moving to a school connection (why do schools charge so much for tuition and have such bad connections T.T).

    Thank you. ><

    Using dynamic targets like <mo> or <tt> will occasionally cause a "miss target" and default to yourself but I've only noticed it happening when spamming single heal (Physick) for a period of time.

    To remedy this, I use static targets and keep the tanks in the 2nd and 3rd party position. For everyone else I use <mo> Physick and just highlight their names in the party list.
    It may seem excessive but you never miss and don't have to worry about targeting tanks.

    <
    Code:
    (Tank 1 heal)
    /pac "Embrace" <2>
    /ac "Physick" <2>
    
    (Tank 2 heal)
    /pac "Embrace" <3>
    /ac "Physick" <3>
