I just came to XIV from XI. I find targeting/attacking to be difficult, especially when dealing with links when killing off a group of enemies quickly is important.

A couple questions...

Is there some kind of auto-target option similar to XI's?
Can I set a macro similar to /attack <stnpc> that would also put me into active mode and lockon?

Right now I have targeting set to enemy-only in the config, and I cycle through targets with left/right on my game pad, then press confirm to engage. Half the time my abilities menu is already up and I start scrolling left/right through my set abilities rather than target mobs.

Can someone help me be more efficient? How can I make this less frustrating?
