Guild Wars 2

I have some questions regarding targeting.

First, is there anyway to achieve some kind of “sticky targeting”? I like to use the camera to turn my character instead of keyboard turning (right click and move mouse). Its so much faster. When I am in combat if I turn my character this way and accidentally click on something else I lose my target. Some games have sticky targeting which once you acquire a target you have to press a button to release the target or tab to go to the next target.

Second, I cannot get Call Target to work. Do I have to be in a team or party? If so, is there a way to mark a target so that if I lose it I can acquire it quickly by pressing a button?

I hate to think I would have to go back to keyboard turning. It sucks.

Thank you for any help or tips regarding pvp / wvw combat targeting.

Generally speaking, no. There is an optional keybind called ‘Lock Autotarget’, but it won’t keep you from targeting something accidentally with the right mouse button.

However if you are using the camera to turn, how do you feel about perma-mouselook? You can use your local Fancy Schmancy Mouse software or AutoHotKey to put Mouselook on a toggle, thereby producing the functionality you’re looking for by virtue of simply never clicking the right mouse button during combat at all (because it’s technically being held all the time.)

I don’t know where posting AutoHotkey scripts lands on the sliding scale of kosher-ness for the official forums, given what that program is capable of, but if you google ‘Guildwars 2 AutoHotKey Mouselook Toggle’ you can find a couple.

I do believe you have to be in a party to Call Target, though sPvP and Dungeons seem to automagically assume you’re in a party.

Pressing T will target a Called Target. Or, you can change it in the hotkey menu under ‘Take Target’.

Hey Vox thanks for the perma mouse look thought. I will experiment with it when I get a chance. It sounds promising.

I also realized I have been pressing left and right click together sometimes to move forward and move the camera simultaneously. That technique drops targets even more often. It’s an old Warhammer habit I need to break. Warhammer has sticky target so it was great to move that way sometimes.
