Guild Wars 2

At times, especially in sPvP when my screen is full of pets and minions (and Mesmer clones, but those are indeed supposed to be confusing, I guess), I have trouble with targeting.

I know I can call targets with ctrl+T and then use T to re-target, and that this is a group-wide function. But aside from that, I have a lot of trouble actually targeting who I want to, and having my selection actually stay locked on that target.

Relevant options I have:
[ ] Show All Enemy Names
[ ] Show All NPC Names
[X] Show Player Names
[ ] Stop Autoattacking on Target Change
[X] Autotargeting
[X] Promote Skill Target (What exactly does this one do? I didn’t notice any difference with it on or off)
[ ] Fast Cast Ground Targeting
[ ] Melee Attack Assist

Any tips? Do people tend to use Tab or Clicking to select targets in crowded situations? And why does sometimes it seems that my target changes without me clicking anything?

Thanks in advance!

There is not really anything you can do.

The targeting system is pretty horrible.

I’ve found a suggestion to disable “Attack / Interact with Right Click”, and that indeed helped a bit in the “why am I randomly losing my target after I finally manage to select it?” department.
