    (2) If zoomed in, start with an AoE. some AoEs require a target, which this only works if u can target another mob. if u can target a different mob, and follow with an AoE, this will put the mob in ur threat list. now u can tab to it with another option. (I suggest using it or setting it up) An option to cycle through the enmity list. (I have it set to be my normal tab buttons, but while holding shift) While this isnt great, it works if u dont use a mouse, and back when tanking was more involved with enmity, it was useful. (Maybe in the future it will be useful again)
    My point is, there are bosses that even with max zoom out, I still can't target. So, the boss drops adds in, I go to the adds, and then I'm unable to grab the boss again unless I stop what I'm doing and click on the threat list, or click on the mob itself, either way I have to waste time clicking the boss to pick it up instead of grabbing it with the tab key.

    It just seems like a pointless thing.

    But then I have the same complaint about bosses who have visual cues high up on their graphics that you have to tilt the camera way up to even see. For example, Famfrit's Tsunami. I hate that freaking attack because you can never know where he's going to throw it unless you tilt the camera up to look at the upper part of his model which is usually off-screen if you have max zoom and are looking more at the ground so you can see the telegraphs on the ground.

    It's just annoying and I wish they'd stop doing things like that.

    I did mean to say max camera tilt as well ^^;
    but that aside, I forgot I havent been in melee for years, so thats another reason why I probably havent needed to worry about it as much lately. Its far worse as a tank, I remember having that issue far more then.
