Self targeted healing by default... why?

[Eloah]

The best way I could probably explain this is that healing spells are similar to some buff abilities and AoE skills, no target is needed because no target is necessary. Single target healing spells just need a "default" target and that's you. Shadowflare, Miasma 2, Burning Arrow, Flash, Circle of Scorn, Holy, Blizzard 2, Freeze, Elixir Field, Arm of the Destroyer, Doton, Death Blossom, Decimate, Unleash, and Salted Earth, none of these have targets either and some require either MP or TP to use too.

I kind of agree tbh. I don't see why it can't error out instead of defaulting to the healer's own character. It is pretty annoying to be in a tight spot and throwing out heals left and right while watching the tank's hp just plummet, only to realize that something had caused you to de-target the tank and you were wasting mp healing yourself all along. Healer's not my main though so I suppose I would be a lot more used to the targeting if I played it more regularly.
