Guild Wars 2

I am young with good eyesight (with my glasses) and I’m generally good at doing a bunch of things at once (I play a buff/off-dps/off-healer/off-tank class in another game and I do all those roles during a fight).

But when the number of participants rises in combat, I can’t find my target a lot of the time. The small red arrow above the target’s head is just not enough.

And I don’t always even know what direction the target is in. I did the swamp event in Queensland last night, and when the big shadow was attackable, I tried to run up to his head and attack, but Rush (Warrior greatsword) took me backwards when I hit the skill! I never would have known that I could hit him from all the way back there if not for using Rush to find my target.

Please:

(1) A directional indicator that points from you to your target. Like a line or arrow on the ground; just be sure to make it visible during the chaos of large combats.

(2) More obvious markers on the target that you have him targeted. A bigger arrow above his head? A colored circle on the ground?

Else I’ll have to switch to ranged so I don’t have to worry about it, or just swing randomly at anything that looks like an enemy. Rush isn’t off cooldown enough.
