    I can see the thought process that went into making that, but I doubt that would work on 720p.

    As it is, I have issues with targeting larger mobs, because if the top half of the mob is off screen, the game WILL NOT tab-target the enemy, At All.

    So moving your character's feet up cuts off the viewing area above your character, which means that tall enemies will go off-screen forcing me to click-target them which is a PITA in any fight that has adds because it can cause multiple GCD loss in trying to find the thing to click on it, sometimes I click and I get a party member that's standing next to it, etc. Unless I tilt the camera way down... then I can't see the area near my feet very well to avoid AoEs.

    TBH, I really wish they'd fix the tab-target problem; I don't understand why the top half of the enemy has to be in view for you to target it. I don't get why you can't target it as long as its hitbox circle is within view.

    Set the following three keybinds to something close to home position:
    Set Focus Target (I recommend shF)
    Target Current Focus Target (I recommend F)
    Target the Target of your Current Target (I recommend T)

    These are actions that need to be used quite often, so my recommendations stand even if you already have things bound to those keys that you think should be bound to those keys.

    When you get to a boss, set it as your focus target. Whenever you need to switch back to it, don't tab. Just target focus target.
    If for some reason you can't target an enemy but you can target a friend, quickly target the friend then target of target.
