Healer improvement

[fluffymichi]

Hi all,

I am sure I don't speak only for myself finding the selected target of the healer dumb and frustrating.
The healer is currently only used in combination with large groups of giants to prevent in correct targeting.
It can be very frustrating to see your healer follow a barbarian or archer rather then a giant, hero, P.E.K.K.A or golem.
So my suggestion is to improve the healer to select the target with the highest maximum hit points.
Within its casting radius it should retarget after each spell cast.
*least preferred option: Or maybe even make it possible to select a preferred target.
Curious to hear what you all think.

I understand your pain. It's a perfectly reasonable strategy, and can get ruined by the terrible AI of healers. And in some cases giants.

Something this would be good, but it would mean you would have to be able to set preferred targets for all troops to tip it from balancing in favour of one attack method. Which would be very OP, however the highest HP recommendation is good. I just disagree with the second suggestion.

I think the first idea is the better of the two: however, does it mean highest total HP, or highest current HP? You might want to add a little clarity.

Highest total HP.

I would recommend editing this to say:

"So my suggestion is to improve the healer to heal the target that has the highest maximum hit points, and is also wounded".

I agree first option would be best. Though I think the targeting should only work in specific radius. And retargeting should happen in that radius after each heal cast.
Target unit with highest total HP.
Target has less HP then max HP
