After I killed the mobs attacking me, I go into my menu to the Target and Filter sections thinking it'd help me with what priority TAB cycles mobs. Nope. Even after selecting things like enemies attacking and what not, or deselecting enemies/NPCs not aggroing me, I still have to cycle through the non-aggro'd mobs that don't matter. It's worse in Levequests. Why the hell would I want to attack a mob 20 yards away in a Levequest when I have two duty-required mobs already in my face and I need to select the other to Sleep it? What does the target and filter system in the settings even do?

Any help would be appreciated.
I’m also one of those players who “Tab”-cycles through the targets. And yes, i’m also experiencing the same issues as you. (^_^; ) I never really understood why they didn’t implement the “Tab”-cycle priority based on currently engaged targets combined with the distance between you and the target. In most cases, you want to target the immediate threat which is closest to you, not the one who is located on the horizon or below you (for example in Halatali Hard Mode).

In order to solve the issue, i either click on the target with my mouse or turn my camera so that only the name plates of the engaged targets are viewable on my screen.

If you want to focus on the mob that the tank is attacking, you can select the tank in your party list and then type “/assist” or “/as”.
