Title: Are there any skills that do not require a target?
Post by: maxwolfie on 07 January 2019, 12:56:45
A target being either an enemy target or (worse still) a ground target (Lay Trap, Battle Standard etc.). In other words, a skill that can cause damage in the direction that the player is facing at melee or an arc/circle around the player.

The reason why I am asking is that it is somewhat cumbersome to play this game on Xbox One due to poor implementation of targeting.

There is one in Dream mastery that doesn't need any target: Distort Reality.
A very efficient skill if by gear or skills you can raise up physical damage.

Other skills without target needed iirc:
- Thunder strike (rune)
- Poison bomb (rogue)
- Volcanic orb, Flame surge, Eruption (earth)

Note that if you play melee you don't really need to target a special monster: aggro a group of monsters, and just left click on your attack skill. This way you will automatically hit each monster around you. With the help of passive skills like the shield tree in defence or the DW tree in warfare, this looks like an AOE skill. I don't know if it's possible on Xbox though.

These skills still need to target then click button to cast.
Rune Mine of Rune Mastery is just need to click Button and melee enemies that attacking you can be strike by it.
And ofcourse Disort Reality, some Aura Skills( like Ring of Flame, Trance of ...,) War horn is aoe skill like that.

maybe he can convince his team on doing something on that stupid targeting mechanic
