Guild Wars 2

While this problem occurs often, I mostly have the annoyance with high npc summoning players.
Normally I just tab to the right target, but when there is a horde of players, with one or more mesmers, minionmasters or thief guilders, I seem to lose track and tab doesn’t do it’s job anymore. I would then manually select a player, but it’s not always correctly and I would have to stand still to get a view of all the players.

So is there any better way?

Thanks!

manually click your targets instead of tabbing & make sure to set up an assist target on him both for yourself & your team.

the biggest reason for mis-clicks in manual targeting is the normalized hitboxes across all races, combined with nameplates not being selectable. the actual hitbox must be selected.

so, for small races, the hitbox is much larger than their actual model, so you can select the air around them just as well to get your target. use strafe keys while mouse2 isn’t held down to keep moving while selecting new target. position your camera to look down on targets from above so you don’t have line of sight issues when selecting.

it takes practice, but you will see results with more time. also, tab targeting will not work if you do not have line of sight on your target. both selection methods are useful, just know the strengths & weaknesses of both.

One of the main issues with targetting as a whole is that right click on mouse can select targets while also being the camera turn.

This really should be disabled, targetting should only be with left click.
