Tab targeting is remarkably bad

[SamSmoot]

Tab targeting tends to cause problems in general. If we head to another game with tab targeting we'll usually see similar complaints The below thread is on the WoW forums discussing how tab targeting is really horrible.

WoW targeting is closest to furthest starting with closest if you had no target. There, I used this macro: Cleartarget, then Targetenemy on my mouse wheel button, which always picked the closest thing in front of me Then, TAB stepped outward. It's also restricted to a frontal cone, so it won't get stuff behind you.

Here, I just use cone target mode, but it keeps grabbing things off to the side unless I'm almost within aggro range of higher level mobs.
