I currently use fast-cast ground targeting option and while it is a great feature there is one thing that bugs me about it. When this option is enabled, you can no longer see the green and red AoE circles on the ground, as the casting is instant.
The Problem – There is no way to tell if you are trying to cast a skill out of range unless you can precisely judge 900 or 1200 units with your eyes alone. Some people can, most people can’t. This means people are not able to utilize max range as we cannot accurately judge max distance.
The Solution – There are 2 ways I can think of that will help alleviate this problem.
Solution A- When the fast-cast ground targeting option is enabled, using a skill PAST max range will not only flash “out of range” on the screen but also the mouse pointer will flash RED to signal that the area you are clicking is out of range. Admittedly, this is not a great solution as it does exactly what the “out of range” text already does. However, it does add another small indicator.
Solution B – When the fast-cast ground targeting option is enabled, using a skill PAST max range will fire the skill AT max range. This will allow you use a skill without having to spam it until you find the range. Where this really makes a difference is in chasing and escaping. No longer will you lose your target because you couldnt precisely judge 900 units and undershoot your gap closer. It is a small QoL change but it will make a big difference. I believe this change would be much better than solution A, and would benefit many people.
Attached is a crude visual aid that hopefully clarifies what I mean.
