Suggestion about healing

owo sometimes i like to be the healer but i have a bit of a problem. Everything has a life bar. You, your allies, the monsters and bosses and when in large parties it's just a clustered mess and when an ally gets injured you litarally have to search for them or just keep pressing lock on in every direction hoping to find them.

.-. may i suggest allowing an option to change the hud to only show hp bars of allies? Or by pressing Y instead of locking onto nearby team members lock on in the order of the list? Like for example One, Two and Three in a party together. They get in a intense battle and Two tries to heal one whose about to die but due to the cluster he/she can't find One so Two tries lock on but locks on to Three instead and by the time he finds One, he/she is already done for and having to use revive.

But with this system implanted Two could just press Y and a arrow would go down the party window highlighting the name which would mean every time you use a healing spell it would go to "specific" player who is highlighted. That way instead of searching with a heal spell you could just highlight the names and target them automatically.

Which would save the stress of trying to be quick and using heal spell towards the monster because you were locked on with a previous weapon or finding allies too late. :/

^ This. I find it so difficult to heal people at times because there are so many health bars mixed together..

If Cyberstep could implement some form of name highlighter at the side where our party members names are, it would make it so much easier. E.G When we press tab and lock our target on a player, a yellow outline will indicate who we're targeting like this:

I wish they really just had some kind of alert system for players using staffs. I would go into great detail about what I mean but I don't think I really have to when all I need to say is TF2 Medic. An alert system similar to that one would be just perfect. With my party members spread out across the battle field and me being the only support I would like to know where they're located so I don't have to scramble all across the field trying to find them when they're about to die.

Being in such a rush when they're so far away from me and at such low health and causing me to either blindly run into a mob and get 1 shot for not fully paying attention to my surroundings. Or quick tabbing and cast the heal on the wrong person. Granted, yea its my own fault for either of those things but if I had a clear cut view of where the person I'm looking for is located I can safely maneuver myself to them and not have to risk running through an army of mobs.
