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

[Ventus]

This doesn't feel too quick to judge now that I've had a good 3 hours of combat so it's safe to say, at least from my experience, engaging enemies is pretty subpar now. There are three methods as I've found out (I would love for someone to tell me a better, easier way (no sarcasm))

1. double click enemy to engage (awful because often click wrong enemy and engage random mobs)

2. click then press enter, very sluggish and still you are not in lock on mode

3. click then press ability (regardless of whether you have sufficient tp) and engage enemy.

My biggest issue besides being too slow and clumsy to use in high intensity and clustered situations is that we now have to essentially use "c" to lock on every time now instead of having our light slash, etc do it instead.

This is a topic for discussion and is in no way trolling/flaming/w/e you want to call it.

This is my OPINION

I've been saying this since they showed us that initial video. I was worried about the way in which the PC was engaging the enemy. This is an extremely clumsy way to do it. I imagine they will address this in the next patch, though.

I play with a controller, and I think it works great.

Have you tried pressing the Tab key to choose a target, then enter to lock on?

I find it extremely easy with a controller as well.

Havent really found this to be an issue myself, but I was able to log in for a few minutes and fight some things as lancer and it feels like my PC forgets to auto attack and just sits there getting hit for like 40 secs. When this happens i would have to disenage then reenage to start hitting again. Any one else have this problem?

yeah i thought controller would have advantage, blast! how did i know before even asking D=!

Well yeah i use tab profusely to target but this fails to remedy it, let me paint the picture for as to why it doesn't help:

cluster of enemies in nanawa mines *tabtabtabtabtabt* GOT IT! oh crap I'm dead now =P

All they need to do it make it so that auto attack locks on to that enemy, much like your basic attack skill would have.

agreed, that's why im not flaming too hard, personally, easy fix for like 1.18a patch

Im not sure it will help in your case, but F8 targeting is doing the trick for me so far. You still may have to tab around a little bit, but it usually will target the right enemy if someone has already engaged it. Other than, I guess I use method 3. F8 an enemy and then hut my now empty 1 slot to attack

So far I have not had a major issue with just keyboard have not messed with keyboard/mouse yet though. Controller it works smoothly though as other said.
