Another Targeting Thread

[BlaiseLallaise]

There have been many threads about targeting, and each one points to a different aspect of it which needs review or alteration. I would like to touch on the fact that when someone casts a buff on me, either direct or aoe, if I am not targeting anything, I then target the caster. I find this mechanic completely pointless, as I did in FFXI, and rather irritating during behest. I turn on enemy only targeting during behest, as I'm sure many of you do, just so I can easily move from one mob to the next with little effort. Often times I'm engaged with one beast, which usually goes down quickly, then I turn to the next and start mashing my #1 skill only to see that I can't attack that target. I then find out that my target was placed on another player as I was being cast upon between mobs, so I have to cancel, cancel, cancel, then target my mob before another aoe buff can get to me and screw up my targeting again.

Now, to the suggestion. I would ask that at the very least, when I am in enemy only targeting mode, that I am unable to automatically target someone who is casting on me. I would much rather see that functionality removed completely, but there is probably some benefit to it that I am not seeing right now. Of course, maybe there is already some way to turn it off that I haven't found. If that's the case, please let me know.

I agree to this. It is an annoying feature.

and with a topic just below your, you fell the urges to open another on the same argument ? :|| don't open 1000 identical thread for the same thing if others are running ffs

[BlaiseLallaise]

Yes I did, because that thread is offering a discussion on a different point. You can't just say "This is the targeting thread" because there are too many different things to say about the subject. Go away now.

I vote YES for devs to get rid of auto-targeting after somebody healed/buffed you

[Girlie]

Yes, yes, yes. This "feature" of autotargeting the mages is my main frustration with the game! I hardly ever join battle parties simply because it frustrates me that much.

[Reika]

Oh yes i am totally in favor of this. Targeting someone that buffed or healed me gets extremely annoying. I vote for auto-caster targeting removal or an option to turn it on and off for those that actually like it.

[Girlie]

Is there anyone who actually likes it? If there is, I haven't found him/her yet!

Calm down man <_<
Just saing, there's no use in making over 9000 of the same topics of every point of view. It make worst for the devs too, since they ned to look out every topic instead of a few ones
