Being the party's healer is a demanding job, because it's crucial to be topping up the right damage dealers at the right time, and that can be tricky in the heat of battle. Amazon MMORPG New World has just made that a bit easier with its April Update, which adds new hotkeys for the target healing system so you'll always be patching up the correct comrade in arms.
The April Update is out now, and it adds a healthy selection of nice new quality of life enhancements. Bow combat has been tightened up, for example, with the removal of input buffering when you're coming out of aim-down-sights - this should make those accidental hip fires less common.
Perhaps the nicest addition, however, is assignable hotkeys for life staff combat. Now you can assign a hotkey for each member of your party to target them with healing while using the life staff. As you can imagine, that will undoubtedly make healing duties much easier in particularly frantic fights, and you can find the new keybind options under the 'Key Bindings' tab in settings - they're in a section dedicated to life staff combat.
