Healer Targeting

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.

You are just flat out wrong. If they didn’t want the holy trinity or healing in this game, the Life Staff wouldn’t exist. This is a YOU problem. And your lack of self awareness is troubling that you can’t recognize that. Everything you’re saying is YOUR PROBLEM with the game. If you don’t like it, again, go play something else.

I didnt unload or insult, you sayed this is what the devs want and told me to go play GW2 and I replied.

I think it is the post, as those quality of life changes take away from the core combat of the game, that is aiming, its part of being a healer and its part of the challenge.

Should rangers have a little quality of life improvement to lock on targets so its easier to aim?
No, I dont think so, it would devalue good players that know how to do it right, same with healers.

You already have a huge AoE heal that is broken, you dont need lock on / raid frames for healing.

Then how come when it did exist previously it wasnt this focused in healing and this broken, were pople like you that cried “WERE WRONG”, was it a “YOU PROBLEM”, the devs intended for the life staff to not give that much heal, why do you want to change it? “just go player another game”

See how dumb that is?
People are allowed to criticize, and amazon decides what to listen to, they did listen and thats a good quality, but its also a good quality to know when you made a mistake, I think the holy trinity was a mistake.

You throwing “YOU ARE WRONG”, “GO PLAY ANOTHER GAME”, bla bla bla is not productive and its just childish behaviour that cant argue or take criticism, its a discussion about a online game, if a different opinion bother you this much go take a walk and get some fresh air.

Rangers and healers are two different things. Nothing else in the game has a lock on feature. Again. the DEVELOPERS gave healers the ability to physically LOCK-ON TO TEAMMATES with single target spells to compensate for your team mates random movement, that is physically impossible to predict. It is very clear they want healers to be efficient and reliable in groups. with out it, dungeons would be impossible to complete due to all the missed heals and wasted mana.

RANGED DPS ONLY DO DAMAGE TO OTHER PLAYERS. Giving them a lock-on feature would absolutely change core combat gameplay. that would absolutely turn this into a different game. comparing a healer spell to a dps spell is obscene in this case.

I agree that you don’t want the games core elements to change, and I’m not asking for it to be changed. but better healer targeting is essential at this point in time, given the fact that its in the game.

Personally I don’t think the targeting is clunky. I actually get to start casing a heal while I’m still scrolling to get it on that person with low health

The scrolling for me is super easy

That said, being able to target people outside of your 5 person party a little easier would be nice

For me it’s ultra clunky, because the scrollilng doesn’t make any sense, it just goes wherever it likes.
I’d like for it to make sense, like scrolling one by one of my party members, starting from the lowest hp.
On more than one party, it’s ok to be a mess I guess, I should use more AoE skills.

i completely agree that scrolling is perfectly fine in general, I’m just referring to times where its very difficult to heal someone while trying to not die yourself, etc etc. its very difficult to visualize that the correct person is targeted, especially in tight grouping while trying to dodge things yourself. Essentially, even if it auto targeted the lowest health party member it would be a radical QoL change for the better.
