I haven't played EQ for a while, but I remember some hilarious if not
totally frustrating situations with targeting.

One such situation was when you needed to heal yourself during a battle.
Being a cleric, you would have to target yourself - cast heal - and retarget
the monster. Have any of you got so tied up in the battle that you healed
the monster? haha it is so frustrating! BTW, has this been fixed? =)

Something I read on this newsgroup sometime ago and have found
a life saver is to hotkey your heal spell to key '1' then do
TAB - 1 - TAB. This changes the target to yourself, casts heal
then changes back to your original target. Wish I had known
about this a long time ago.

Also, you can't actually heal the mob (unfortunately in some
instances). Would be nice if you could heal amiable npc's
at least :)

::gapes:: No way! I had no clue; I was retargeting all the time. Any way to
do the TAB trick between the mob and your tank, or is that still to hotkey
assist and hit 1, F2, heal, 1?

Try using the F1 - F6 keys for your group, and F8 for "nearest enemy" , also
as a Cleric, I have become sickened by the targeting issues, you click on a
spell and instead targets someone on or near that area, lag rules. Anyway,
I put all my important spells based on situation, as hot keys, then if say a
party member needs heal, I shift-6, F4, 1 for major heal etc etc, makes it
a whole lot easier. But then again, why cant Verant fix the problem?

clerics should be played entirely on the keyboard.. F1-F6, hotkeys,
shift... you need two hands on the keys to keep up.. cant afford the
right hand to mouselook around
