With healing cycle and holy word, you have to select a target first to use. Sometimes in the heat of the moment (pvp and such), I always forget to select myself and I'll get confused for a moment. When I get healing orbit and holy spell, since it's a party buff, does this mean I don't have to select myself anymore to cast it?

Nope, No selection needed.

However, Healing Orbit uses an epic amount of MP for a pure str, and at this cap heals slightly less than cycle.

I see that.
This is why I hate pot delay lol

RD is worse, just you wait. Holy RD destroys my MP. hard.

I've already noticed how frustrating RD can be. Just means I have to make sure to get max mp and int on my gear lol.

Using ctrl + 1 is extremely slow in my opinion, best is to select yourself either by clickin on your char while holding shift, or clicking on your char "face" on the upper left corner of your screen.

Adding the respective group skills would obviously improve your speed, but the counter part is that those skills kill your mp (as a pure STR with 15s mana pot delay). You should have them for emergency situations, but if you want to save SP I say that going with only the healing cycle would be enough. The Holy Spell skill, that buffs the entire party on the other hand, is a must. There's a kind of huge cooldown after using holy word imo (it's near to 1min iirc), and it would take a huge time to buff all the party, also, when you finish buffing the last member some others would already have to be rebuffed.

Okay, thanks for the replies. ^^
