Casting spells on yourself

from Demigod Forums

It should be possible to cast spells on yourself by clicking the massive portrait. I also think that enemy Demigods should be much more easily visible. When the game comes to minion and Giants spam, I can't even find the guy I'm supposed to be killing.

What spells could you possibly want to cast on yourself?

You CAN cast Heal and Shield on yourself...probably others but can't think of others....

I think he meant a shorter way of casting heal/shield to the player demigod. Sedna's heal and QoT's shield requires clicking on your own demigod after activating the ability with the skill hotkey if you want to cast it on yourself.

alt + click/number should be cast on yourself as aggresive movement is bugg'd anyway.

I agree... it's so annoying trying to cast shield on yourself as Oak in a wave of creeps. Too confusing and can often times result in stupid deaths all because you couldnt find your demigod in the field of battle. Yes you can see his shape but, uh, when you're fighting Giants its hard to make out Oak.

I'd prefer if it was just a double-tap of the hotkey.

You can hold on to "Ctrl" and that will filter off creeps from your spell target selection. Even if many Demigods are clustered, yours will have a teal border, making it easy to distinguish. I used to wish to be able to self cast using the portrait as well, but found it unnecessary after a while. Moving the pointer away from the main screen to the portrait and then back also takes off precious amount of milliseconds, which can make a difference in a hectic situation.

Since there's a hotkey for selecting your own Demigod, why not have that be the self cast button too? So targetting yourself, as Sedna, with a heal might go like this: Press hotkey for heal, then press H (demigod selection hotkey) to target yourself immediately. This can be done in a hurry and frees up your mouse movements to concentrate on other stuff in the meantime.
