More accurate targeting tips with a controller...

[Dreakon13]

I play on PS4 and the majority of my gametime has been with the gamepad (really just use the keyboard for chatting). Targetting an enemy isn't perfect but for the most part I'm alright with it... point the camera vaguely in the direction of the enemy I want to hit, press X to target them, L3 to lock on.

If I'm ever in a situation where there's maybe a few enemies clumped together, a few NPC's fighting them, a few players assisting, etc... let's say, in a FATE... however the magic of the X button works when deciding who to target, it almost always targets a NPC/player over the enemy.

I can use the D-Pad to jump through other nearby people/enemies as sort of a way of fine tuning... but that seems awful cumbersome if there's like 5-10 things to jump through and lots of effects going off masking the targeting reticule. I'm DPS so it hasn't been a huge deal yet, but that can't possibly be good enough for tanks or healers?

I guess I'm curious if there's any tips people could give to target enemies more accurately with the controller beyond using the D-Pad? Any settings I could change to prioritize enemies over NPCs/players? Thanks gang.
