    Please make some kind of auto-targeting option for when your 1st target dies

    I can't even begin to explain how annoying it is, when fighting multiple enemies, to have the 1st one die in the middle of trying to select a spell on the action bar, and then I have to refocus the action bar (since I have mine displayed 24/7) in order to continue attempting to select the spell, and then target the 2nd monster with it.

    Or, you know, maybe don't force the action bar to lose focus/disappear immediately after the monster you're fighting dies. Maybe you need it for something. You don't know. Well, 9 times out of 10, I do need it for something, because I'm not just killing the 1 monster and then logging off.

    This is honestly pretty annoying on other classes besides spellcasters, as well. At the very least, make it an option that the action bar doesn't lose/focus disappear after killing a monster, because right now, it's just kind of frustrating.

    Didn't they talk about making it so that if you had multiple agros, you would auto target the next one with the lowest health or highest enmity or something?

    Basically you auto target the mob that attacks you, which is helpful, but honestly they still did targeting better before. (In 2 MMOs, 3 if you count Wakfu even though they're only publishing.)

    I'd be happy if the targetting wouldn't scan the freaking screen from side to side regardless of distance. Why the HELL would I prioritize targeting a mob that is 10000 yalms away when I have this huge red thing hitting on my face?

    I also find it very annoying that i have to have the menu focused in order to auto attack anything, and when one mob dies i cant just change targets, i have to get rid of the menu, then target the new mob, then reopen the menu in order to start attacking. very annoying when farming low level monsters that die in 1 hit. im doing more menu operating than i am fighting.

    I think they had something like this in the first update after the game launched, but turned it off because of issues. Haven't heard about it since.

    I would love something like this, and even make it optional in the config settings. You could turn it off if you don't like it, but if you have it on you could set the priority of the auto target.

    1. Lowest HP
    2. Aggro
    3. Closest
    4. etc...

    So that way you can pick, and it will auto target.

    I like the idea, would love this feature.

    Isn't that the truth? I end up talking to my monitor, why the heck is my target going all the way to the other end of the area behind 3 closer mobs... O.o

    OMG this !

    It's mind boggling how you can have an enemy directly in front of you and still manage to tab to a monster miles away in the distance.
