    Mouseover Healing

    in Combat Styles

    Posted

    Sure, mouseover healing is makes healing very easy. Has lots of benefits... especially for raid healers. The fact is, that was in wow. Everyone has moved on and are about to switch game , right? Do it feet first and embrace the new game, folks. Everyone wants a new game but refuses change.

    You make good with what you have. Life gives you lemon; you make lemonade yadiyadiyada...

     

    Click healing is not new. It's "standard" in every MMO. However, it sucks. Just like the default keybindings, you would be really upset if you couldn't rebind your keys. The default keybindings simply sucks. Mouseover healing is not trivializing anything, it's simply a tool you use to become more fluid in your gameplay, and enjoy it more. Also the reason you use Focus Target casting to focus interrupt on for example an opposing healer in PvP. It's a tool.

    Clarification

    This subject have come up multiple times, and is still not available in game. Personally I think it's a very basic staple for a lot of healers, something I myself have used for years playing both WoW and RIFT. It's a matter of playstyle and mouseover healing makes healing more enjoyable for myself. I'm probably not going to heal for starters in this game because of this and I'm worried the group finding will suffer because of this as well.

     

    I fully understand why Bioware don't want macros in the game, because macroing together abilities to trivialize rotations and so on is bad. However, that's not an excuse for leaving mouseover healing out of the game. You can do stuff differently. You can add a mouseover healing options menu where you could create skill buttons for dedicated healing, buffing and debuff removal on mouseover.

     

    It'd look much like the traditional macro frame, but in one column you have a list of your available skills you could make mouseover. You click the skill and it pops up in another column as a mouseover skill, which you can drag to your actionbar.

     

    I love mouseover healing, click healing just feels clunky.

     

    EDIT: There have been confusion of what mouseover healing actually is. Mouseover healing is hovering your mouse over either the raid/group frames or a player and hit a spell on your keyboard to achieve the same thing as clicking that raid/group frame or player and pushing the button. In WoW it was achieved through macros such as:
