Targetting and my tale of 2 Mongrels

[Arcell]

I use a gamepad and I've never had a problem with targeting mode B. Yes it will occasionally select something I'm not fighting but I've never had a problem selecting my target quickly. It's all about the direction your character is facing. If you're looking right at them it should target them first, that has always been my experience at least.

Also just set a /targetnpc macro on your first of alt/ctrl. I have it set so I hold L-trigger and press A, target NPC.

The only really addition/improvement I see the need for is for Enemy mode to target engaged enemies preferentially.
