Guild Wars 2

Don’t know if this is intended or not, but Seeing my cooldowns getting wasted on necro/ranger pets or npcs around instead of actual human players is extremely frustrating, specially in a critical moment of pve or pvp.

Even Light of Deliverance would fail to heal an almost death mesmer ally to heal a 100% hp illusion and some kitten necro pets around.

Please make these kind of aoe skills to prioritize party members FIRST, human allies SECOND, npcs THIRD, and disposable allies(pets illusions minions) LAST

What skills are affected? these are the ones that annoy me the most.

Battle presence healing pets instead players

Shield of Judgement giving protection to minions on the way to the necro i try to protect.

Empower will give might stacks to pets sometimes, the heal works fine

All shouts will buff w/e I have closer to me, being npcs pets minions illusions instead of a party member that needs the shout and its in range, I don’t want to maneuver my way trying to dodge pets just to be in kissing range of the players.

All the tome of courage skills except heal area, same issue with the shouts, if a necro or ranger has 5 pets between him and me, he can kiss my buffs and heals goodbye, because he aint getting them.

Zealots fervor and smiter’s boon, same as above.

Please this needs an urgent fix

Gets my vote. Hope the devs see this. :|

This is a general buff issue for many classes, it might get more visibility in general.

The move that teleports you to the person with the lowest health near you, Judge’s Intervention I think, will teleport you to NPCs instead of players sometimes.

I basically don’t use it b/c of that.

So that’s why my shouts only buff myself or only me and someone else.. Lame..

Can we take it a step further and make the priority order:
1) party members
2) squad members
3) allies
… rest same as above

Yeah, in WvW I’ve had a lot of problems getting others my buffs especially when it comes to things like “Retreat!” for chaining swiftness with allies.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was not aware of the squad tier.

Just wondering, if anyone knows. About Merciful Intervention, would it targets a npcs/minions and is the heal an aoe heal, says create an healing spring around them? How big is that spring if it’s an actual aoe?

I think it’s because all AOE spells are capped at affecting 5 things… which is kind of stupid, tbh, especially if pets are included in that.
