Guild Wars 2

What i’d really like in this game is a keybind that would always target the target most in front of you. I know the tab targetting sort of does this, but it picks the wrong target way too often (because it’s designed to cycle through everything on the screen). What i’m talking about is a keybind just to pick the target in front of you, for quick precision targeting.

So lets say i bind this key to tab, if i see some mob or player casting a powerful spell or heal, i can simply turn towards them, hit tab and shoot an interrupt at them as one quick action. The game is not going to randomly pick some other target and succeeding at this is purely based on my own skill. With the current tab targeting however, i turn at the mob/player casting the skill, hit tab, spend a second confirming the game targeted him and not something else, possibly hit tab some more to target him, and then finally shoot my interrupt late. This is based too much on luck.

If you want to take it a bit further, you could make it so as long as you keep the button pushed down, the game would keep targetting the target in front of you as you move your camera around, maybe even show a small target reticle in front of you like they have in TERA to indicate the spot you need to line the mobs on. While holding the button down you could move your camera around and shoot different skills on different targets.

It’d also propably make targeting with this easier if it valued the X-axis more than the Y-axis, so you’d always only need to move your camera left or right to get the right target, unless the mobs are in a straight line in front of you. It’d also propably need to value players higher than pets in pvp.

What do you guys think? I think the game would be more fun if targeting had only to do with your own skill and it’d make a big difference in pvp.
