Hi all, I am currently suffering from severe carpal tunnel syndrome on both my hands, and I find it almost impossible to select a fellow party member by using the mouse to heal them. I tried using tab, and even went into the configuration menu and tried to select nearest friendly player, instead it selects the nearest NPC, even inanimate objects!

How do you guys deal with using the druid to heal party members? do all of you use the mouse to select a player? I find it IMPOSSIBLE with all the chaos in the battle field, SPECIALLY when the mouse sometimes disappears!

Would be appreciated from your response.

The game design doesn’t have support skills that target friendly players, sorry.

Here is an instructional video that shows the absolutely wonderful Druid support mechanics in the game! Enjoy!

Thanks Swagger!

I would love it if Anet would provide players with a method to tab between party members… I dont think it will be too hard for them to apply this method, right?

Also, that video is excellent!

Normally I centralize the heals on my enemy target. The Druid heals are pretty aoe, and if people are close to the target, they get heals there. If they run out, I just warn them I won’t chase them with heals.

+1 what Sorin said, also if you’re using discord you can have everyone group for heals between phases etc

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Also alot of the heals are PBAoE. So they work well if you’re stacked or at least close by the druid. Not so much of you are all over the map.

Probably the most you can do is make irl changes. Ergonomics, stretches, maybe a wrist brace. Iirc there is also some medical treatment you can pursue.

Look up how sc2 pros dealt with carpal tunnel/rsi.
