That just a pretty canned response that just says "There's nothing I can do about it." A CSR saying that doesn't really mean anything else. They can't take that feature out of the game as a main complaint was not being able to tell who was hitting you, but they need to do something. Just make it heal yourself when you have a creature targeted. Argh!

Both Marrow1 and PsionicHawk have raised this issue with the Dev team, CSRs dont have any information about development work.

tis good to know, with limit info on internal workings its sometimes easy to accept what you're told when you think you're talking to someone who might know. 'fingers crossed' for a speedy patch

There has been debate about the benefits of pass-thru healing and whether or not it should be removed.


I've never been able to get it to work, I'd be interested to hearif anyone else has.

By pass thru healing do you mean targeting someone else but healing yourself? This used to work fine, back in the day when I was a pikey dot wh0re i could target enemies and heal with /heal self, /cure poison self etc, why can't they make it work now?

Pass through healing works like this:

When you target an enemy you heal what it is targeting. There is a UI feature that shows the target, but if you don't know what your looking for it is easy to miss, once you know what your looking it's not that difficult. This works when you use healing abilities, but for whatever reason NOT when you use enchancers.

Personally I like pass through healing, but some do not. It will be more effective when tanks can actually tank and when it works with enchancers.

Also to the original question,

What your seeing is a factional issue and is as designed. Your on leave and they are combatant, or you are combatant and they are special forces.

I have had so many issues with pass thru healing. The mob switches target due to hate, or I just want to heal myself with an enhancer etc etc.

I'll have to check that my UI is showing the mobs target as I seem to have missed that completely.

It is an interesting one. The pass through healing methodhelps a little. Though Istill can't figure this into how i have problems when soloing a creature (unless its just i'm noticing problems where i attack area attacking creatures that also hit other MOBs?).I dostill get the same pvp message fighting on my own so combatant/on leave/SF shouldn't be an issue. Most of the probelms i notice are just related to using enhancers (the "normal buttons" for each skill don't seem to cause a problem - that i've noticed, i don't tend to use them ofteneither though). that,combined with the targeting thing happening -wheni have myself targeted to use the enhancer and get hit before i can use it -are a hard one to work around.



(is it that i'm just miss understanding how the enhancers should be used and the CSR is correct after all?)

To use an enchancer you need to target the person. There is no 'pass through' when using enchancers, when you solo and use your abilities (rather then an enchancer) the pass through target is yourself. I'd label that as bug and 'not working as intended'. If you target a mob and use an enchancer it won't work, so that very well could be your issue, I'm used to seeing "that is not a valid pvp target" in relation to faction status, sorry.

Hope that makes things a bit clearer on how things currently stand.
