Thread: How do you feel about pass thru healing?

I find the pass through healing and attacks (because they essentally use the same mechanics) to be a decent idea. However they tend to be inconvenient at critical moments.
To work around the problems I've found with healing the wrong person I've created custom macros.
To heal my self I just added self to the end of macro line. for all others I have a target group number 1-8. Yes I have 9 seperate macros but it let's me heal people much faster than clicking on them then healing.
So now I heal who needs it not who the game thinks I meant.
Do you have all that on a tool bar or something? How do you manage that many healing macros?
I have the same issues with the pass through healing causing me to miss a critical heal on myself. Unfortunately I find my keystroke macro for healing myself to be unreliable in high lag
C'mon Marrow, you just did a comparison, 1 pro 5 cons in your own post. I think you answered your own question.
Now that I just flamed you. Thanks for asking the community anyhow. 
Remove it, please.
Good luck with it.

The pass through healing is ok, it is livable.
The pass through attacking is great though. Has a lot of uses for both grinding and specific targeted attacks, where one person will decide the targets.
this would seem to complicate things more then simplify them overall imo.
also, if you are AOEd by a mob targeting someone else and autotarget them after clearing your targeting to heal yourself it would bea pain, forcing players to have a healself macro for every heal they use for both self and other healing. (not counting stims which would be an additional slot used for every player.) (CM would take 3 extra toolbarslots, docs 3, jedi 2 if i remember right)

ya, my personal bias against pass thru healing kinda showed thru there. There is already a thread int he doc forum asking for it to be removed but since it impacts Jedi as well I thought I should grab the thoughts from this group as well.
From what I have seen here it is rather clear that:
1. Very very few really find is a great help.
2. Many have worked hard to adapt to it and make the most of it but given the choice they would rather drop it.
3. The rest simply hate it. All the work arounds in the world will not make it a pro in thier book.

Many times i have died trying to heal myself so i could survive to heal a friend.
Is this why I keep healing people in my group even though there not targeted? Sometimes this results in my own death and I frickin hatewhat ever is going on.
This is intended? LOL!!!! I thought it was a bug. Looks like one, smells like one, but isn't one?
