can't cast healing magic to friends during battle

[conquerorelite]

hey I am in the conjurer and arcanist guilds and when out of battle I can cast curing magic on other players with no issues yet during battles it wont let me choose players so that I can cast healing or protecting spells on them. It will just cycle my read arrow though the enemies but it would bet let lock on to players until after the battle is over. I started the game as an archer not sure if that would effect it or not.

Assuming you are playing on the PS3? If so use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons instead of the LEFT and RIGHT. Also im sure they have to be in your party if they were not already.

One of the trips of the default settings is the target cycling filters when it comes to being a healer. The symptom of this is that you can cast a healing spell on someone once, before you draw your weapon, but as soon as you change targets you can't seem to cast on a player again.

Pressing up and down on the D-Pad works for party members, but if you're keen on healing during FATEs to be nice or bailing an overmatched player out of a bad situation, this won't work.

Under "Character Configuration" -> "Control Settings" -> "Filters" there is a checkbox for enabling target cycling.

Where it says "While Weapon is Drawn" you can tick the boxes next to the targets you would like included. This should solve the problem.
