Healer Targeting

Well with the current healing in the game, it needs hotkeys. Otherwise rework all of the abilities to not require targetting.

single target healing is very essential and its the most powerful healing spell in your arsenal. its impractical for anyone to think an aoe heal zone is going to save them in a pinch.

First, the splash heal from hitting enemies was removed in this last patch. Second, EVERYONE uses AoE heals, single target heals are still a MUST. Third, you’re using the wrong single target heal if you think it’s too slow.

i have sacred ground, beacon and orb of protection.

correct, single target healing is the fastest spell you have

And what do you do if someone drops to a sliver of health? You watch them die is what you do.

This build is not feasible as a main healer in expeditions or any group content.

i’m always willing to learn how to better improve my skills. I did roll with the instant cast group heal, but heard that orb of protection was preferred, so i’ve been trying that.

Sacred Ground, Beacon, Light’s Embrace.

Step by step, they want to turn this game into WoW…

Go away, no one liked your other post and now you want to come here and complain. Healing IS necessary.

if you plan to heal dungeons you should have light or divine embrace. i challenge you to heal the guy with 1hp quickly and efficiently, without fail, in the middle of 10 enemies and other group members piled on top of each other. once you are put in the situation you will see how impractical trying to aim light/divine embrace it. often times you have less than a second to heal him. misclicking the wrong person is life or death.

Shhh I go where I want go, and post what I want to post.

Have you tried WoW?

You would love it, all the changes you want for New World are already there.

Just because you don’t want the holy trinity doesn’t mean anyone wants it gone. It’s a good formula and it works. Your idea is bad, simple as that.

Plenty of people want it gone, especially in this style of combat MMO.
No it doesnt work, there is no agro in old school RPGS or DnD, is it a bad formula, are they stupid and their ideas are bad?

No, you are just a spoiled kid that cant accept different opinions, holy trinity does not belong in this game, and using it here stands out, we have infinite combat ress because it was not meant for the holy trinity.

So go listen to asmongold and play FF or WoW or whatever if you dont have the brain power to process a different opinion.

They could allow you to click on the UI, or use tab to switch between the targets (with a square around the name in the UI showing who is selected), also allow players to change the order of the names on the UI, so you probably will put the tanks where it is easier for you… Idk

In the same breath, go play Guild Wars 2 if that’s what you want out of this game. you’re asking to change the entire game. I’m asking for a quality of life update. The developers want the holy trinity in this game. You don’t, so the most reasonable argument is for YOU to go play a different game.

I think a system where we have someone targeted for a heal and they get 75 - 90% of the heal and the rest is splash heal/damage in a radius around that target.

Im not pushing for GW2, this has nothing to do with GW2, its not even comparable in combat, you have about 10 abilities.

NW is its own game and I believe its better playing to its strengths and not pushing for any other crap other mmos have, its a fresh canvas and you want to get it dirty with the generic crap that is everywhere.

Not only will I not play GW2 because it has NOTHING to do with game other then the dodge mechanic, but I will continue to criticize NW and players like you that want to make it generic.

I dont want healbots in New World, I dont want heal raid frames, I dont want addons beeping and buzzing to dodge and I dont want mount, I want New World.

The developers DONT want the holy trinity in the game, because it was not here before you came along and started crying about stagger, and holy trinity, and mounts, and raid frames.

So no they DO NOT want it, you forced it with all your whining, and now the game is worse and I will say it, thats what forums are for.

my dude, chill out. this post is about getting better target acquisition in a game where they implemented targeted spells. you can gripe about whatever else you want to about the game, somewhere else maybe. once again I’m asking for a quality of life improvement to a system they already have in the game. if they expect healers to use single target heals, they should be more conscious of how clunky and difficult it is to heal the correct target.

i understand your frustrations with the game but this is not the post to unload and insult people on.
