Guild Wars 2

Wouldnt it be cool if we had a key designed specifically to lose the target we have selected? This would be insanely useful, since the key currently used to do that (Lock autotarget) is not really meant to do that and on top of that it buggs out from time to time, which is kind of frustrating.

Would it take too much to design such a key?

It never bugs out for me, so what happens for you?

Click anywhere and the target is gone.

sometimes you can’t do that quickly, like if there are lots of things on the screen. You have to move your mouse way out to a corner to ensure you click on an empty space, and even then you also have to make sure you aren’t clicking on part of the UI

scratches head It works fine for me. Alternatively, ESC works, too. Only problem with ESC is, smash it too often and you’ll bring up the Options menu.

Yeah, ESC key (you may want to disable the “close window on ESC” option first), or if your point is to stop attacking the target, you can assign a shortcut to “stow weapon”, which does the trick.
