Hope I didn’t post again something that rolled through forums for too long
.
For most of my GW2 time I played with elementalist. Staff one on top of that – so right/left clicking to choose enemy or loose target wasn’t an issue for me. It changed right after my Ele dinged to 80 – I made all sort of alts and change my staff build into more suitable D/D. Since then my heart is with every other player, who fight with targeting, not with enemies.
Probably Anet have some ideas how to solve it, but I’ll throw my 2 cents anyway. It would be great mechanic to use “show nametags” of enemies/friends to bound with targeting. Do whatever You do with right/left click targeting to fix it, because it’s shame after 9 months, that this kind of stuff still is in game, but… You allready have ctrl and alt to show enemy and friendly tags (I bound mine to Q and E, because I use the often and it’s hard to do with ctrl/alt with fingers long as mine…). Wouldn’t it be great to press ctrl and being able to click only only enemy target? Same with alt – press alt and no enemy can be targeted while it’s pressed (to drop fast revive from a pet or something similar). Think about it. You’re in WvW, in EB, making a ride on enemy SM. Two zergs collide like lovers in the rain and You can’t target anyone so You throw Your skills blindly, hoping it hit anyone – and that would be enough. What if You could press ctrl and target enemy through wall of Your own people. Because You see enemy, You know he is there – so why not to target him?
