    Yea targeting on controller can bring about headaches in certain fights (looking at you A2S Gobwalker). Something that may help in general is changing your target filters in the settings. For example, I have mine set up so if my weapon is drawn I can only target enemies. As Terk mentioned you can also just try to get close to them and face them and hope the auto-target picks it up. L1 + dpad also cycles through but in my experience targeting like that can be tricky to execute mid-combo (but it is how I survived aforementioned Gobwalker duties)

    Basically just try to get good at setting up your Overpowers. Back in the day War had Flash so it was easier to run through mobs and pick them up. Since we only have Overpower for pick up now you have to pay a bit extra attention to make sure it's aimed properly. You can also use abilities the "face pull" mobs towards you before they go running off. Steel Cyclone when you get them all grouped up to give you a good threat lead.

    I'll try to explain the face pull in case you haven't heard of it:

    Say you are running up on 3 enemies. You tomahawk one and it draws the red aggro line to you like normal (enemy name also changes color) and the other 2 mobs are alerted and start running toward you too - but they don't have the aggro line/color change yet. If you use an ability like Infuriate it will draw the aggro line/color change as if you attacked them. This doesn't give you much actual threat, you still need to overpower/steel cyclone/whatever to build aggro on them - but it can help round up enemies on the initial pull a bit better. (this also explains why the mobs will run away to others - if they use an ability before you do it will have the same effect except they run off towards that person instead of you)
