Ground targeting

[Corbeau]

The game only registers a mouse click for an AoE if you press and release at the exact same spot. This makes it particularly hard to place Sacred Soil or similar while moving, since you're often unconsciously moving the mouse to account for camera motion. It's just plain a piece of bad UI code. Understanding the quirk helps to place things consistently, but it's still bad.

Hmm, I wonder how smart cast in a 3rd person perspective would play out. It works great for league because it's always an isometric camera view. I'd imagine it would be quite finicky with our cameras?

WoW allows smartcasting like this and it works perfectly. I can't even count the number of times that I saved pulls with a split second spirit link totem. XIV feels very painful in comparison.
