@Griffler, i am able to cast this in a pot. it needs a party member or pet to hard target. "Gives allies and tamed creatures combat bonuses."

 

Updated post, doesnt work if youre near a training dummy.

 

I'm able to replicate this problem. If I hard target my pet, I can excecute it, but if I step closer to a training dummy it decides its not going to work.

It works fine here: (Targetting my pet)


But if I move a few steps closer to that training dummy (I'm still quite far away)


I still have my pet hard targetted.

Whether my pet is in front or behind me doesn't seem to be relevant, nor does my directional facing, if I get anywhere close to that dummy, the skill disables on my bar (goes dim)

 

Also doesn't work with an automaton in range...and mobs? and other weirdness. The skill is randomly able to be used. I even ran onto a completely open lot and was not able to use it.7

 

I was able to use it at random times during an Upper Tears run last night - but it was sporadic and often the skill tile in my hot bar was darkened and unclickable (even when I had someone or a pet targeted). Later, during an East Reach Gap run, I was never once able to use the skill no matter what I did or targeted. Given oddities with the targeting system (pets get between, random loss of target, etc.) I suggest having a target person or pet might not be the way to go - instead, simply auto-cast on the bard and affect the surrounding area.

 

It gets disabled if an "enemy" is too close (which includes training dummies). Trying this at a control point I would imagine is impossible to use due to the mob density.
