One of my frustrations while trying to heal someone who is under duress is the fact that they tend to run like wounded rabbits. As a result it is very hard to click on them so that I can target them for stimming. If I happen to be in a group I can sometimes check their name, look them up on the list and then target them that way, but that's very time consuming. What I would like is a TAB variation which cycles the targeting through all non-hostile PC's in the area so that I can quickly target and stim those in trouble.

What think ye?

use the control # button to target if u have too..i find that using the grp window is more than enough to effectively heal

I've been asking for that since beta. At one point a dev said "That would be easy enough" but I doubt it's very high on the priorities list.

Another thing I'd like to see is numbers in the group list. When you're trying to target someone way down in the group list it's hard to guess what number they are without counting all the way down.

A similar mechanism (Cycle Targets Forward, I think) exists for targetting mobs. Hit it once, you get the closest mob to you as your target. Hit it again, you get the second-closest. It works out near-to-far, then cycles back to the closest.

Something that pays attention to players instead of mobs should be bordering on trivial, and a major help in PvP. How medic-specific it is... left as an exercise to the reader.

May have been left out intentionally to make PVP more challenging.

beats me.

I'll put it on the list.
