This wouldn't be a huge fix, there are already icons and /commands in the game to mark monsters to CC/Kill etc. The one issue is that they can only be applied while on levequests, please please please just remove that requirement so, as a party leader, I can more clearly direct my party.

I actually came to this forum to post on the very same thing. Great minds think alike I guess.
To add to the issue. Targeting commands as they are right now are also impractical to use as the require the player to enter the emote menu and then shift over to another set of commands entirely. Its not something achievable in a short time.
I would really like to see this addressed. This is one of those quality of life things that makes party communication so much easier, especially for those final job quests that seem so popular these days. -

In many MMOs a marking system is present for clarity and on the fly adjustments for party targets. All I was pointing out is that they obviously thought of this, however it's a shame that it cannot be used. There is a working system that can be readily assigned by macros (during levequests) that works perfectly fine and at a later date can be refined.Quote:

As I stated above, there is a simple way to attach this command through a macro withQuote:

This would prove useful in the case of New/Old content that no one has experience with where the leader can take upon quick judgement to assign focus. All this allows is for players to have a bit of a more fluid experience during combat and commands, while the time that needs to be put in to lift the "levequest requirement" might be relatively small as a bulk of the code is already completed.
