Guild Wars 2

I have having trouble loosing the my target focus.

Is there a way to lock my target that I am attacking like in Wow?

If I drop some sort of aoe I seem to loose my target. Also is there a target last or something?

I use Shift to instantly get back to my target before i used the aoe

Aiming at them via rclick, clicking them before combat to keep focus, or targetting(Cntl-T) to reacquire them with T if you switch targets all help.

I’ve got a slight selfish interest in getting people to target focus targets with “T” though :-P

There are options you can tick in the settings menu to keep focus on enemies you attack

Yeah, that is annoying. It always switches randomly to a friendly player in the middle of a fight.

Tick the option ‘Promote skill target’. I think this is what you want.
