Group V1 and V2 spells, whats the differenceFollow

I have NO clue what you are eluding too...

Is that from Everquest?

I know of no buff that can only be cast on your group

/targetgroupbuff on
or
/tgb on

Allows you to cast group buffs on other groups getting up to all 6 in that group + yourself.

Not at all beyond reason that there are buffs that dont work this way that I am unaware of however.

Here is an example,

The 49 cleric spell Word of Healing is a group heal. The target type is Group v1.

The 52 cleric spell Heroic Bond is a group buff. The target type is Group v2.

I am just making sure I understand the difference. Thanks for the input.

From your example I would guess that this has to do with the restrictions on the buff. Such as, group Temp would be group v.1 because it can hit anyone. However, HoV might be Group v.2 because it can only hit those 45+. This is only a theory but it makes sense with your example and seems logical to me.

Actually, based on this info, it looks more like Toasticle is right. It has to do with whether the group spell can be cast on members not in your group or not.

Group heals are completely limited to your own group. In fact, they aren't even targetted spells. You just cast them and they automatically hit your own group. Since he said it's the "target type", this seems to be a likely explanation for the differences.


Of course, those two particular spells also differ based on who they can be cast on (all levels, or 46+ only), so they are a bad example. The easy way to check would be to look at a lower level spell (like say Valor). If Valor and HB are both "target type: Group v2), then it's the targetting, and not the level restriction. If they are different groups, then it's the level restriction (since that's the only difference between Valor and HB).
