    Focus Target with a controller?

    I tried searching and asking in game but couldn't find anything about it. I was wondering if it's possible to set a focus target while using a controller on PC?

    When controller is enabled Shift+F doesn't seem to work, it simply puts an F into the chat box. My workaround so far has been to target the boss before a fight, switch to keyboard and press shift+f to set the boss as a focus target, then switch back to controller.

    Anyways, does anybody know if there is just a different way to set a focus target while using a controller or if it just doesn't work as expected? Also, if anybody is unsure, I am Not talking about locking onto a target, focus target brings up a mini hp/cast bar by the mini map so you can see when the monster is casting as a healer with a tank or pt member as your locked target.

    If your keyboard works, I believe you can just type "/focustarget" and hit enter. I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but as a workaround you could macro that and set it to one of your hotbars in the meantime.

    Edit: also, I think "/target <f>" will target it

    Thanks, this has been plaguing me for a while. I'll make a macro for it.

    /focustarget <t> - to set the target as Focus Target
    /target <focus> - to target the Focus Target

    Don't work with PS3 (PC only)

    I dont use a controller but perhaps in the controller binding settings you could set it up? I re-bound mine to Q on the keyboard perhaps you could re-bind it on the controller?

    Actually, the way it works when you're using a controller is that it only gives you 1-4 options per button of what you want to assign to it. It doesn't have the freedom to bind anything like the keyboard's keybind option does >.<

    On the PS3, you can focus on a specific target by selecting the target and then pressing R3. Not sure if that will work on a PC while using a PS3 controller.

    There is a way to focus target with a controller. I noticed I was doing this on accident last night. This was on PC, but with a PS3 controller scheme. I wish I could be more help, but I know it's built in there somewhere.

    A macro isn't required.

    What is focus? Camera lock?

    If so, just press L3 (click down left stick) I believe while you have a mob targetted. (May be R stick, but I'm pretty sure it is L.)

    Or are we talking about something else?
