Thread: that is not a valid pvp target the game is working as intended CSRSpencerS
like others this is a bit of an issue .... for us but not developers! we're out of luck
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?

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.

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.
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?)

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