Getting within Healing Range, FAST!
This tip comes to us from Fractus ShiningShadow on the Gorath Galaxy:
Have you ever needed to heal a group member fast, only to select them and find that they are out of range? Medics across the galaxy know what I'm talking about. Well here's a tip for getting into healing range of any group member fast:
Using Shift +[# key] is a great way of selecting your group members or yourself fast. Followedbythe heal of your choice. That's pretty basic healer stuff. But what if they are out of range and you haven't any idea where they are, or there is so much visually going on that you can't find them in the crowd? Well try using the /follow command. Better yet, assign /follow and /stopfollow actions (CTRL+A) to hotbuttons (F1-F12).Using /follow will automatically move your characterwithin range the targeted group member. Now try that heal again, followed with the /stopfollow command or hot button. Bingo! You've moved into short-range healing or buffing range with the click of a button. This tip worked before the CU and still works with the CU. No worries there...
Here's a list of the commands I use, in the orderI use them:
Shift +[#] Selects groupmembers.
/followAutomatically moves you to your target groupmember.
/bactaShotAny short-range healing action can be used here.
/stopfollow Ends the /follow command, Freeing your movement.
Rinse and Repeat...
Hoping this helps beat the "out of range blues".
Special thanks to Imortissa, a long lost friend and my inspirationfor becoming a healer, who taught me this tip. We miss you M'Love.

too bad healing then aggros every animal on the planet and results in instant incap for the medic....
That would be because your group'stanks aren'tmaking proper use of their taunt abilities.
PROBLEM: Group Defective. Group members unable to properly fill roles as defined by profession
SOLUTION: Disband. Find Non-Defective Group.
wrong...it is BUGGED...does not matter what taunt or ability they are using...you toss a heal you take the agro over anything...
