Guild Wars 2

“You must have an enemy targeted to use that skill.”

Ever get this? When you thought you actually had an enemy targeted? In fact, you know you did, because you’ve been beating on it a little while?

But then suddenly, you are targeting nothing. What’s going on here? This is driving me nuts.

Before you ask:
I did not press TAB in the middle of the fight (and if I did, it wouldn’t clear my target – it would just choose a different one, I do believe).

My targeting-related settings (under F11) are:
Ground Targeting: Normal
Double-Click to Attack/Interact: checked
Right-Click to Attack/Interact: not checked
Stop Autoattacking on Target Change: checked
Autotargeting: not checked
Promote Skill Target: checked
Allow Skill Retargeting: checked

Anyone know why I keep dropping targets mid-combat?

Sadly tab will not lock a target only target it.

For example if you hit tab to select an enemy while ranging and right click and look behind you you’ll stop attacking it.

You need to actually click a target to lock onto them which is one thing I find very annoying as in zergs it’s often difficult to click an enemy. Tab should lock in my opinion bubuy it does not.
