I really, really dislike using ground-placement for skills, so I'll be thrilled if this removes that need. As it is now, I feel like I underutilize the skill as I don't want to deal with placing the target.

My assumption is that it's still going to have a ground placement it's just going to tick immediately. I have most of my familiarity with Collective Unconscious, which they've also added the "immediate" descriptor to - its first regen tick isn't for several beats, and if the bubble breaks before then no one gets a regen. Plus, it doesn't even have a targeting reticule, so I doubt that they'd be giving it "immediate" when it already "happens without being placed."

It just means that Asylum's heal will start ticking as soon as you place it.

If you want a way to use the spell without having to place the target, you could try a macro with "/ac "Asylum" <me>" or "/ac "Asylum" <t>". The first one should place the bubble on you, while the second one should place it on your current target.
