I am a bit confused. Do I use the item in inventory, or the icon (action button). If I use the Bacta toss icon, does that also utilize the item in inventory? Which is better?

If you want to use an enchancer you'll need to use the item, not the icon.

but this causes 2 huge problems .


1) with the item on the hotkey we lose the timer which the icon has .


2) when the item is in the hotkey and we want to use bacta toss on ourselves we have to target ourselves with cntrl 1 otherwise we get the invalid target message ( it tries to heal whatever you have targeted ) .


if we could go back to the old system in which stims would be auto used from inventory it would make life a lot easier . as it stands i am forced to use bacta toss and bacta spray without any enhancers when engaged in pvp / jedi missions and solo pve .


the only time i actually use my enhancers is in group pve since i am usually healing groupmembers which are valid targets and so i can use the enhancer on my hotkey ( though it stinks not having a timer ).


is this intended or a bug ?

Neither - nor. Just poor design.

If you have enough toolbar space, you can put in the enhancer and the action icon, the action timer should start when you click on the enhancer. That way, you also have a choice of using one or the other.
