Switching targets while healing or casting.

[gobbosnobbo]

Is there some way to switch targets mid cast , for example, casting a complete heal on a tank, then switching while the spell is still casting to another target?


There are certainly some instance where I'd like to target people outside of my group so that I can readily observe their hit points without having to pan through multiple targets I may be healing at once.

For example - Chardok AOE. Healing three enchanters outside of the group can be difficult if stun is resisted, as when I start casting on one, I cant observe the other two's health if I'm outside their group.

Any trick to this that I don't know about? Hot keys wont work, clicking doesnt work, is there any option?

Target Nearest PC, Cycle Through Nearest PCs, Target Nearest NPC, and Cycle Through Nearest NPCs all work while casting.

I like 'E' for target nearest NPC and 'R' for target nearest PC. I use F2 for Cycle PCs.

Keep in mind. Cycle hotkeys arent classic. While they are exceptionally powerful and trivialize certain aspects of the game, they may be removed in the near future...

F7 - Targest Nearest PC
F8 - Target Nearest NPC

Both are classic. So you can spin around and try to face your target and use those.

There are other keys you can use beside cycling thru the nearest PC/NPC.

There is:
- switching between last target and yourself (forget the default), set mine to "Y"
- switching between your last two targets (forget the default), set mine to "F"

Check what yours are set to by going to OPTIONS, then Key Bindings tab, then Targetting drop-down menu.

I find the switching between myself and last target especially handy to target myself quickly mid-fight, casting torpor, then switching back to my target all in a keystroke.
