tab bug?

[Orchids_Mantis]

Well I have been suggesting for a while now that somethign be done with <tab> targetting and recently, it seems somethign has been done -though I am not sure if it is a bug- and..well...it's horrible.

My problem with <tab> is it seems to have no method to selecting targets aside form a deriviation of Muphy's Law (whichever is the worst and most inconvenient to target based on your current situation, it goes for); and I have suggested multiple times that it cycle through mobs targetting the party first, or cycle through mobs based on distance, or even remainnig hp.

Now, when <tab> is used in combat, not only does it seem to target enemies that are not already aggroed on me; but I automatically run toward them to attack. Fighting a mob of 3 Greenkies, 2 Archons and a Greenky Big I used <tab> to cycle so I could use devastate (to avoid the mob death dev fail glitch) and it targetted another Greenky about 8 meters away -which had 2 others nearby- I automatically started running towards it, frantically pushing <tab> in hopes of targetting somethign actually attacking me, and it cycled through the 3 Greenkies in that area twice...


If this is a bug; then please fix it, but if this was on purpose, then please, please PLEASE get rid of it. It is even more annoying than the usual targetting aggravations with <tab>.

o.o Iunno about targetting mobs that I haven't aggro'd, but sometimes I tab and nothing happens :3... which is annoying >> cuz I can't click very easily.

yea that is kinda annoying ,but an eqasy way around it is too move the camera into your char so when you tab it has to target the mobs you are looking at

I kindof agree, I think it should target the monster targetting your pary that has the lowest hp. I was trying to help fight mobs off the tank in the tower the other day while still healing...Every time I targetted the tank to heal, then tabbed to a new monster, it picked a monster with full health. I coudn't click them since the Iron Golem was standing on top of them all, so I couldn't kill any monsters, so I couldn't cut down the damage the tank was taking at all :/

There's an action called "Assist." You can stick it on your hotbar. If you're healing the tank, you can press the hotkey for assist and you'll target the monster he's targeting.

Likewise, you know that new targeting window, where it shows you what your target is targeting? You can click that and you'll end up targeting it too.

But yeah, the tab thing is very annoying. :\ The description of using tab said it'd target "the closest monster" or something. Sometimes monster A is closer, but it picks monster Q who is further away than all the others.

I'm having problems targeting in general. Sometimes I hit "Esc" to get off a target, but it somehow re-targets whatever I aimed at last.

I hate it when you click tab and it sometimes says "must select target" and your mobbing....i mean like seriously what do you think im trying to do.

and yeah tab has seemed a little wacky lately. idk if anyone else thinks so but it seemed to work better a while ago and would actually targey monsters closest to you(whick more than likely would be in your mob)
