Can anyone help?

I have had multiple instances on WHM were my target ( white arrow ) was on a player but i've cured myself - I have removed "Enable auto target when no target specified" but i am still having this probleme. I have experimented and can not find any reason why this is happening - I have noticed this happens at any distance from the target this can also happen after a sucessfull cure has hit the target and the target focus has not changed - please anyone offer any confirmation if this is a bug? or is this something i am doing wrong? I main WHM but can not keep playing this job as it appear to the other people in the party that i am curring myself not the target as a result I am receiving much greif and people leve the runs because they think i'm bad at my job : (

Thank you

YES. I've had this happen to me several times before. I'm not sure of the cause of it, but I'm starting to wonder if it's like a lag, where it hasn't caught up to the selected target. I notice it usually happens at the worst moment when I'm in a hurry to cure someone - AND it's most definitely targetting someone (as I clicked the party list name for targeting AND I had the white arrow on them before casting). It will cure me, then if I'm still spamming the hotkey, the next cure will go to them.
It's annoying.

I don't know the cause or fix, though, but I can say that this does happen on occasion to me, as well.

replace all your buttons with <t> macroes

if you use <tt> in macroes it breaks it also breaks it, and will cast on yourself out of range/los.

There's an old thread here about this. Not much there, though. A few people assuming it's macros (when, in this case, it wasn't), and no real resolution or fix.

If you are using <t>/<tt> macros, it's pretty much guaranteed to happen at some point. Individual macro lines are sent to the server one after another with not much processing. If you've got <t> and <tt> in the same macro, you're going to happen to hit it at exactly the right moment for the server to accept the <tt> and not the <t> while you've got a player targeted. And <tt> will be a monster, and curing a monster means curing yourself. I'm not sure if the new (as of 2.38) /macrolock command would help with that in any way.

If you're not using macros, it's a freaky mystery, and I don't think anyone's found a reason or a solution.

Thanks, Bixby!
The linked post pretty much nailed what happens to me - and I'm assuming the OP.
I'm just going to assume it's failwebs and packet loss.

I'm also just going to say that we're faster than lightning at healing xD; (kidding)

[Staris]

It is not that much of a mystery.
The button itself from the skill book is basically a macro that functions as (<t> then <me>).
Hence why a macro with only <t> is the more reliable option.


Evidence.
Don't target anything and click regular cure button.
Bam heals yourself.

Use <t> macro, target noone.
Bam does nothing.

I have experienced similar situation, a player could be targeted but could not be cured. ^^;

He was standing beside me on my screen, I could target him normally.
But any spells even Protect would not reach him, It should be his problem bcoz no one was able to buff him.
Apparently his position on the server was out of sync, his postion was not in the range of our spells.
The problem was fixed when the fight has restarted.

I wouldn't take their opinions too much to heart, though it's infuriating when you try your damndest... just to be treated like garbage - Healers and tanks (as well as both of those classes towards each other, sometimes) take the brunt of most of the lashing out that most players seem to resort to. /soothe
