    I agree. Can we also make it so that it only targets whats IN FRONT of us. I dont know why, but most of the time, it targets stuff behind me and its very annoying.

    I hate the tab targeting in this game as well.

    I have regressed back to click targeting.

    Actually I have no problems with targeting. The game will target the monsters that are in your vision range, so if you just move your camera a bit, to an area were only the monsters the tank have on him will appear, tab targeting won't select the enemy that are very far or not engaged.

    You can remedy this by changing to legacy controls, your "forward" will be camera based and it'll allow you to snap-face for targeted (for 180* even) weapon skills while keeping on the move. It'll also allow you to run backwards with the S key instead of backpeddling. The trade off though is that it's much less reliable to keep enemies on screen for auto attacks (since mouse turning doesn't change where your character is facing).

    Also, I can attest to multiple accidental pulls because of this god forsaken tab targeting. The worse example I can come up with is accidentally targetting a pack of enemies that was across hte room after the 2nd boss in AK, or the diremites beyond the first barrier in tam-tara (heroic).

    Tab works fairly predictably a good deal of the time (left to right). Unfortunately, that's not a terribly useful way to cycle targets in a lot of situations, and the predictability goes out the window often enough that in order to use Tab effectively, you basically have to do camera gymnastics.
    I am on pc and slowly trying to get used to my controller because it is more comfortable than kb but I have no idea what to start choosing to set the buttons to.
