Guild Wars 2

This might be a noob question, so I apologize in advance if so. Anyway, I like to look around my character during combat, but I find that when using right-click to drag my camera around, I often inadvertently click on other objects and lose my original target (particularly in WvW and hectic events).

If I’m in a party, I know I can call a target which makes it easier to reacquire it later, but I can’t help but wonder if there’s a better solution out there that I haven’t found yet.

Ideally I wish there was a way to disable right-click targeting (which would solve this issue for me), but I don’t think that’s possible, is it?

Unfortunately, no. It would also help if it only did target selection when you click on the target (mouse down followed by mouse up), but as it stands right now, it selects the moment you mouse down. It’s extraordinarily annoying, and there’s really nothing you can change in the options right now to fix this.

Try using the “Promote Skill Target” option. It’s supposed to lock the target to whatever you are attacking. I think.

It’s under the Combat section of the main Options page (F11).

It only locks onto a target when you hit them. So if you are blindly swinging and hit something (unless they’re invisible) it targets. I too really wish they added a keybind for “camera lock onto target”. It would really help those who don’t enjoy the rapid shifting of their wrists just to face the enemy.
