Pattotwo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 So title says it all. Playing a melee ATM, you hit tab to target the player right in front of you, but for some reason it targets other dam player across the other side of the WZ. I change the setting to target closest enemy. Think that's just for looks coz that doesn't work for **** either. Don't know a lot about coding for a game, but if ever other game has got it right surly it can't be that hard. **** copy WoW you have every we're else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahak Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If Bioware ever fixes tab targeting I'll eat my darn hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badseed Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 "target closest enemy" or "target center of screen" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFWarper Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Target closest enemy always targets the one hitting you from behind. No surprise you can't attack him/her not turning around 180 degree. Target center screen always targets friendly target in front of you. It's magic, street magic. Next target always targets the enemy you don't want, also it makes an interesting targeting sequence: 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-5. So to target 5th target in sequence (Do you remember that you always need last target ?) you need to hit Tab 14 times. It's such a relief when you want to keep up DoTs from 1st target to last - you never miss first target DoT expiration. The only problem with melee is the time you need to get to your target doing nothing. Mouse click always select anything around your target - mostly nothing as there is nothing around, but if you are lucky, you can target friendly target unless you are healer But what everyone forgets is the new revolutionary feature of the interface - non-target combat mode. For unknown reason Bioware called it auto targeting in prefferences, but it's obviously poorly chosen name for this revolutionary feature. Hopefully they'll fix it in next patch, but for now we should use it as it's named. Just drop target with Esc and use melee attack. Jokes aside, it's the only sure way for melee character to aquire next melee target in no time. You do not need to select target for melee attacks, it will be chosen automatically. You can even hit hidden enemies that come too close to you, so you can reveal stealther even quicker than he/she opens on you. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziljin Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Sometimes the targeting is whacky. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficium Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The worst is when you get stunned or knocked back and you lose your target. Then you try to pick them up again with tab target only to have to press tab 5 times to get back on your old target. Don't even bother trying to click target people because for some reason the size of the hit boxes seem to want to change ever 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
