The Macro line that casters should try.

[Bigcat9715]

I stole an idea from someone in my FC. "/Facetarget" helps alot when being a caster dps, and I add to all of my abilities. It lets you continue facing a moving target without interrupting your casting. Give it a try. :P

This only faces it once right? So a target strafing past you would require repeated presses.

I've seen that my character is continually rotating when the boss is strafing, but that's probably because being a blm I decided to add the line to any of my abilities that use a casting bar. The only time my cast is inturepped is when the enemy does a sharp turn or jump behind you.

Face target can be very useful, but I wouldn't recommend making macros with it; I just use the keybind for it.

It's a toggle that stays on until you move or change targets.

Why not macro it? It doesn't impact your dps in anyway I can see. Plus it helps alot on controller.

You can change what your control stick button presses are mapped to. So instead of having R3 be first-person view, I changed it in the options menu to face the target. Casting a spell automatically makes me face a target in the first place, so I just press R3 if the target begins to move past me.

On PC, I have F mapped to facetarget so if I need to face the target during a cast I just hold F. I'd rather not add another icon to my already cluttered hotbar just for something I can do with a keybind.

Thats amazing! I'll have to try it out...oh wait I'm forced to mt now that our tank left QQ

[Aiurily]

i just press F once (face target hotkey) whenever im targeting a moving target. never had issues with canceled casts like that

You can also hold down the right mouse button if you're on kb/m. You can freely rotate yourself without interrupting a cast.
