    Please make Salted Earth target like BLM Freeze

    I've always hated having to target the ground for this ability, and I hated Shadow Flare for the same reason. It would be much nicer if it would just snap to your target for one button press like Freeze.

    Ideally I'd like it just replaced with Scourge...

    i prefer freeze type ground target system, may be some prefer the current one

    so i guess we could have an option to toggle between the two?

    You have no idea how much I hope you're right. Salted Earth in its current state is only worth using because it's free. Wouldn't miss it at all if they got rid of it. We do basically still have Dark Passenger, though. Flood of Darkness/Shadow is pretty much Dark Passenger without the blind effect. Granted, that blind effect was extremely useful. Kinda wish they'd bring it back.

    Here's a macro to have it appear under current target instead of ground targeting:

    /macroicon "salted earth"

    /ac "salted earth" <t>

    Only good for bosses it's better to place it manually where you can get more ads in the circle

    Or target an enemy in the center with the macro.

    OP asked for a targetable Salted Earth.

    Someone provides the exact way to do it.

    People complain.

    C'mon folks.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Improvement to suggested macro:
    Code:
    /micon "Ground Thingy"
    /ac "Ground Thingy" <t>
    /ac "Ground Thingy"
    Will center Ground Thingy action on target. If no target, will provide a ground target cursor as normal.

    Salted Earth should either work like Freeze or like Doton. This game's mechanics for ground targeting are not very good, and having to use these skills on cooldown makes them feel clunky. Even with a macro, it can be quite awkward to double weave during your opener, due to macros not queuing.
