So far engaging enemies in 1.18 feels very clumsy....

I'm kinda flustered with the whole thing about being in distance of the mob in order to AA. Why don't they just put an "attack" button or something that immediately locks on, and with the push of another alternative button, can lock off, that way we can scale around the monster. I think I need to just get used to it. lol

Once you get used to it, you'll see that's actually how it works. You click once to target, click again to engage.

If you change the target setting to "floating" the arrow above the targeted enemy is solid when you first target it, and when you click again the arrow becomes an outline. That means you'll AA when you get close enough.

that's all good but I just want to make sure you guys are aware that doesn't fix how cumbersome clicking around (especially twice) is when intense battle situations occur.

A simple right click for engaging, left click for selecting is very favorable =(

I agree, just remember to wear your blindfold for all the "ZOMG WOW CLONE" rage that we'll see here should SE adopt such a system.

Well, I didn't try much on mouse. I was referring to controller. Do you just have to click twice to actually engage?

Maybe it should have separate ways of doing it with mouse/key board vs. controller. Highlight once with controller, click again to engage vs. highlight once with left click, engage with right click, and skip directly to right click to engage if you need to.

yeah no joke, 2 clicks to engage. It's as horrible as it sounds *steals your ps3 controller O.O*

Actually now that I think of it, Why don't they change it to where, if you are in active mode, by left clicking a target you instantly engage? When you are in passive mode, you have to click twice to indicate you are actually wanting to engage with the target?
