The way the game’s combat is set up right now direct control is pretty much required to keep your guys alive. You have to command retreat specifically, you have to coordinate attacks, you have to use archer fire arrows as crowd control against specific targets, etc.
Given that set up yeah I would like to see a “heal” command – it makes as much sense as the “attack” command for the combat classes and seems similarly necessary.
I’d like a little less need for direct control in combat but I don’t see how it’s possible short of something like my “knockout state” recommendation ( Combat needs a knockout state )
