Need some help with targeting mechanics (PC)

[peaches]

I'm in the same boat as you, except I'm a caster. I just made a thread about it actually. In the Keybind menu it says Tab is supposed to cycle through nearest to farthest, but it definitely doesn't. I've had it target an enemy well out of range instead of an enemy within a few steps, directly in the middle of the screen. I don't know why they have such a hard time making a good targeting system in this game, its the first MMO I've seen that doesn't have it working properly.

As a melee DPS you have a few options though. F11 targets the closest enemy, but doesn't cycle. You could rebind it if you want. The easiest option though would probably be to use a controller/gamepad. I believe you can just walk up to your target and press X (or A on an xbox controller) and it selects what ever is in front of you.

If anyone has a way to fix the targeting without needing a button to cycle left, and a button to cycle right please PLEASE tell me.

Nice to see I'm not the only one having trouble with this.

I'll give F11 a go, and maybe rebind it to Tab instead, since I'm quite used to Tab targeting. It's alright if it doesn't cycle, since I'm kinda meant to focus on one target at a time anyway. In the case of FATEs, the enemy would be dead before I'd switch my target.

And dammit, 1000 characters limit? First forums I've seen with a max character limit, others I've used just have a 10 characters minimum limitation.

Yea its a solution for melee characters at least I suppose, until something gets fixed.

On a side note, there is a way to get around the 1000 character limit. You just have to cut out the text that goes over the 1000 limit, then hit edit, and paste in the rest of it. Strange that it works that way, and these forum limitations are... strange and annoying.
