Ally Targeting - How do you do it?

[Zidaryn]

Up and Down on the d-pad of the PS4 controller, click with the mouse if it would be faster, and use R3 "Assist Target" to switch to the tank while targeting enemies.

Unfortunately, this is at best a two-button task. You can cycle up/down to soft target, then confirm (default:numpad0) to hard target. My original reply has been amended to include this detail.

In the end, it's best to get used to the quirks of the soft target, or use mouseovers, or click the party list. Basically, anything but that wonky hotabar macro scheme.

Thanks Rongway. I'll look into some more ideas and try some of that, but yea. I don't think I'm doing that crazy hot-bar switching thing.
