Targeting options. Please add it!

I wrote this on the battle mechanics forum but didn't get much attention so i'm reposting it here:

Targeting idea

Allow a targeting option to allow target priority to be cone shaped. Being able to select targets from closest to furthest away in a fan shape would prove to be leaps and bounds ahead of the current targeting system.


from right to left, or left to right (depending on direction you press) selects the next mob closest to you moving out in a "V" cone.

left to right:

|-------8-----------------------------|
----|------------------7----------|
------|-----5-------------6-----|
---------|-------4-----------|
------------|----2---3----|
---------------|---1--|
-----------------|X|

right to left:
|-------8-----------------------------|
----|------------------7----------|
------|-----6-------------5-----|
---------|-------4-----------|
------------|----3---2----|
---------------|---1--|
-----------------|X|




instead of
left to right:
|-------1-----------------------------|
----|------------------7----------|
------|-----2-------------8-----|
---------|-------4-----------|
------------|----3---6----|
---------------|---5--|
-----------------|X|

right to left:
|-------8-----------------------------|
----|------------------2----------|
------|-----7-------------1-----|
---------|-------6-----------|
------------|----5---3----|
---------------|---4--|
-----------------|X|

which is what we currently have

Something like this would work great when trying to target mobs that you are engaged with espesially after the link system.
