Targeting party members for healing? - Guild Wars Forums

MelisandeUtamaiden · Aug 24, 2008, 04:17 AM // 04:17

I am not sure what to call it, not sure if I called it right in title. I was wondering if there was any way to like make it so that it could make it easier to heal.

Like,

If I press 1 on my keypad, it would target party member #1 in-game.
So I could just press numbers on my keypad instead of clicking on different members each time I want to heal them. Unless this is already exists and I just never knew of it?

Sorry if this does not make sense but hopefully someone will get it. I was not sure where to post this. I wanted to search for another thread like this but did not know the right words to use.

Thank you in advance

In the menu, go to Options (press F11 works by default.) Look on the control tab. You can assign which keys do what in there. There are places where you can assign a key to actions like "Target Party Member 1," etc.

Worked for me.

GL!

Hello.

Yes there is a way to do this.

I used to use this but I didnt actually like ti that much.

What you need to do is go into 'Options'

Then go into teh 'Controls' Tab

then scroll down and find

Targeting: party member-1

Targeting: party member-2

Targeting: party member-3

and so on

you should be able to work it out not really sure how to explain any better

Its just a shame the key mapping cant be loaded like a template can be for skills etc as what I want to do as a monk is very different from other chars (at least I dont think it can be done in that way).

I tried that for a while - it is possible as noted above - but I went back to clicking on them in the Party Box. If I recall, I ran into somewhat the same problem as you mentioned - not being able to store control layouts. The Party Box method was more universal. That's PvE though, for PvP it may be more worth the effort to assign the direct keys.

They alrdy explained how to do it, but still i wouldn't do it. I tried it myself aswell, but like it way more to use the keynumbers 1,2,3-9 for skills and just select the party members myself. As you, depending if you h/h with monk or bond a tank in elite area's, its more likely you use the same skills all the time. Put them on key1-4, select your target all the time. Believe me its way better
