Tab target issues

[Wadoka]

Sounds like you have reflexes and pixel-perfect targeting skills beyond those of your average player if the mouse is always enough when you need to quickly change to another mob.

I have nothing to compare it to. This is the way I have always played. It's worked so far. The biggest nuisance using the mouse to target a specific person for me, is when I need to target another player (to heal them) when they're not in my party, they're running frantically away from a mob and trying not to die... that takes a bit of coordination, aye... "Hold STILL for just a moment, will ya...?"

I cannot agree with this enough. The tab targeting is tolerable in PvE content...

I'd decided it WASN'T tolerable in PvE. I came over from SWTOR, where TAB was default "Target Nearest Enemy" and I could not figure out for the longest time, why, here, when i hit TAB, it would target a mob far away, in the back of the room. "No! Not that one! The one about to eat me -!"

That's why I keybound "Target Nearest Enemy" to TAB, and use my mouse (G502) to pick out specific enemies in PvE - the healers, the mages... same as my old SWTOR habit.

I will certainly agree, we could use more and better logical targeting options.

I tried something yesterday, doing pvp all day long :

i bind "target nearest ennemy" to G, it works, then i use tab and it switch between the other close ennemies.

(i bind "F" to "face the target". It's a great help when i heal in pvp to quickly find out in which direction the ally you clicked on is.
And i use ctrl+tab to cycle between close allies, it work well like in Swtor)

I dislike the idea of using my other precious binds to make a semi work-a-round for SE's craptastic tab target system. :/

The amount of cursing in PVP when I can't tab target the guy jumping around near me and go all over the map is no joke. >.<
