How to Change the Auto Targeting for Healing ► New World

Here's how you can change the targeting and auto target system in New World for your life staff healing ability skills. There are many ways to modify and adjust them but there are weaknesses and strengths to how the targeting mechanic works.

Here are all the games I make videos on:

Honestly this video says exactly how I feel! Divine's Embrace is fantastic! but it says its a target heal but its not, its more like a TINY aoe heal, so you have to turn on targeting to heal someone with it, but then the sacred group you don't need sticky targeting. I feel the best fix for this is to let us decide which spells to ignore the auto targeting or vise versa. Because of the way targeting works in this game, it makes it why the aoe heals are superior. If the healing was more like EOS, Divine's embrace would stick to whomever is closest to the reticle. Maybe this will come later. But for now this is a great video as I was looking for something showing the differences between the settings.

Trying to heal in this game makes me want to uninstall. I shouldn't have to fight against the game's controls to cast a heal. The scroll wheel target is proximity based, and since people move around a lot, it changes the order. So like this dude said, instead of going straight up or down your list as you scroll it pulls shit like... 3, 2, 1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2....And sometimes it bugs so that it refuses to highlight myself with the scroll and ground targeting that stupid single target heal on yourself is cancer AF, you can't even get it under your own feet, the camera won't let you...which would be fine if the self heal target button worked...but that only works about 20% of the time. So you when it's bugged you MMB and get it as close to your feet as you can and sometimes it hits you and sometimes not.

Added to all of that is that in some areas, for some random reason, if I even have a life staff equipped every mob someone pulls immediately B-Lines for me. I haven't cast a spell, I haven't attacked anything, fuckers are all the way across the map, I have anti-threat gems equipped...and STILL in some areas all I have to do is walk within 200m of mobs someone else is fighting and I gather the attention of every mob in the area.

And then there's the bug where it just ignores the target system altogether. It's a 2 part cast, 1 button press to activate targeting, 1 button press to cast. Sometimes it skips the targeting and just casts itself on the first button press. So here I am looking like a retard with a ground AOE at my feet while my whole party is dying and yelling at me for heals.

There is a build where you focus on light heals and forget heavy. Get the manaless heal for light attack. Rebind your heavy attack RMB to sacred ground and take off targeting, bind your mouse thumb button to Orb of Protection, and leave Q on Splash of light that is always on you anyway. You are now group healing everything, and all your healing is either shot at the enemy, a player, the ground, or auto group. You are also doing a fair amount of damage which is going to help the combined dps of your group.

For an old codger like me that is KISS.

You shouldn’t have to press a button to not heal a random player that’s just horrible game design

This was a great video. I'll be referring to it when I get a chance to play again. Thank you! I'm totally with you on how you feel about the way targeted healing works. I ended up replacing my single target heal with Orb of Protection with the AoE perk due to how bad the single target heal targeting is. I wish they would just change how the single target heals work to be like Orb of Protection and apply the heal to the lowest percentage health friendly player inside a smallish AoE. I think it would feel more skill based instead the current lock on targeting, which feels out of place with the combat in the rest of the game. Thanks again!

It's not wonky or weird. It is just bad. The system should be similar to ESO since their playstyles are alike and the Single Target Heals should be smart heals that are free cast and then heal the lowest health group member. If in PvP, invite people to your group if you need to heal individually and AoE for everyone else. It works great in EDO and they should have took it.

[theseventhammer]

they should just add to where you can hit 1-5 to select group members and then cast heals.
This works in every other MMO - why re-invent the wheel?

[dustinkurtz]

Thank you! I'm new to this game and it's completely diff that WoW so healing is difficult to understand.

[seanmatteo]

I agree that healing is janky af when it comes to single heals but sacred ground is faster if you just drop it on a your auto target or scroll once after the fact to get it positioned around someone in the center of the pack

[natedog]

Sticky heals is so nice for pve. I like it in pvp also but takes some getting use too. Definetly will improve your healing skills!

[jimmydean]

Just wanna say this is BY FAR the best channel for sea of thieves tall tale guides… got the gold curse in 2 days cause of you! Do not watch anyone else if you play that game.

Thanks for this video i was wondering why my shit wouldn't lock on to anyone i completely forgot about the settings xD

[stevenwilliams]

Would be nice if they had a lock target, so it doesn't randomly change the one you want to heal in a group ie. The tank. I don't understand why this isn't an option and you select a group member and have an option to attack the targets target. Rift did this really well. So your heals go to your friendly target and you attack the enemy they are attacking.

[dirmech]

What are you and why do you have such a nice skill in toribash and so many games also on this channel this is incredible

[HypoGlycemic]

How do I get the abilities to target on me upon activation without ctrl it used to do it by default now it’s wherever I aim and I despise this shit

[juzzam]

i'd probably replace embrace heal with protection bolt spell just so i dont have the deal with the wonky single target heal

[imthemidgeman]

They need to have divine embrace auto target most hurt player. And I also feel the same way about sacred ground I would prefer that go where I'm looking.

[billbaggins]

If i use the mouse scroll wheel will it select member of my group? If so then i can single target with that method and place the aoe ground heal where i want, and just aim my orb. That sounds fine - but the settings are confusing.

Appreciate the info, but im gonna have to play test it.

[therealjonaswp]

When it comes to healing, I wish they used the same system as ESO does. So much easier.

[MistressOP]

can you command line setup a keybind to turn auto targetting on and off?
