The tab targeting in this game really pisses me off. Who's with me?

[Waeksyn]

What really frustrates me is tabing to the next "target" and having it stop on a dropped key, chest or other clickable environmental item (I use the D pad on a controller, although I play on PC).

You can use /battletarget (/bt) to target the nearest engaged enemy. I haven't used it myself so don't know how well it works. What would be great is a command to target the enemy on your list that has the lowest remaining %HP. That's usually the target I want.

Honestly I'd like to see a setting that makes tab cycle through the enemy list in order, that way I'll always know exactly how many presses to use to switch to a specific target. Using screen space to determine tabbing order is always unreliable due to targets moving, and the order can be hard to predict.

thisthisthisthis. why even have a *list* if you cant cycle thru it? if clicking their names on that list is supposed to be the proper way of targetting, maybe i should make it super-large and in the middle of the screen. then it'd be a text-based RPG! i'm not 100%, and cant check while at work, but I think there's an option to modify in what order the enmity list is displayed, if could set it to "distance-from-you", and cycle thru it, would be nice..

Controller: L1 + D-Pad up/down

Keyboard:

the best way to get it to work is the angle your camera so that it is mainly you and your target in your field of view, then tab.

L1+D-Pad up/down
or turn the character to the wanted enemy, clear current target and press X

That is pretty much what I always do... I do it without even thinking about it now.

well if your tab targeting for PC is anything like scrolling through mobs with a controller on PS4, it will select the mob relative to your character and camera position.. Wish I could click on stuff to target would be so much easier...

Tab without a target selected -> Picks nearest
Tab while a target is selected -> Left to right priority regardless of distance

[Shurrikhan]

Default tab in nearest first, then left to right.

But you can also select
- Closest target regardless
- Furthest target
- Previous target selected
- Target of target
- Next in enmity list
- Previous in enmity list
> Can cycle targeting modes
- Or go directly to enemies only
- Allies only
- All
> And of course don't forget focus targets...

It takes up a few binds if you really want to go that far, but its control is pretty immense at that point.

Personally I just use a macro to swap from regular to enmity list tabbing or back to regular (`), regular tab (Tab), reverse-tab (Shift-Tab), and closest (MMB).

if you are a kb/m player the easiest thing to do in a pack is using the enemy list to one click your next foe. idk if controllers can do the same easily.

But I honestly have no idea how people play games like this with a controller. kb/m give so much ease of control

For enemies, on PS4, we hold L1 while pressing up or down on Dpad to cycle enemies.
