Professions with pets mess up TAB targeting way too much, in my opinion.
If the enemy team happens to have 2 Mesmers, or something on those lines, it can take too long before you get to target the actual player.

There’s even been a moment where I found myself against a team with a spirit Ranger (3 spirits + 1 animal pet) a Mesmer (3 illusions) and a Necro (2 bone minions, 1 Shadow thingy, 1 healing pet).

Fighting in sPVP is usually so frenetic that mouse targeting isn’t an option, also because you often end up targeting a pet anyway, and TAB targeting just makes you cycle all the pets on screen until you find the person you want to attack. And hope to god you don’t accidentally hit TAB again, or you gotta do everything all over again.

An “Ignore Pets” UI option would be great, but I realize that not being able to accidentally target a Mesmer’s illusions would nerf the profession excessively. Still, I believe something should be done about this because the amount of creatures on screen can reach an overwhelming amount.

(class stronger than mine) is OP. (my class) is underpowered. (classes I beat easily) are fine.

Zoom out camera option needs to be improved a bit, especially during the downed state.

If you have issues targeting just initially target them with ctrl-T (I think that is the default I changed mine), and all should be well.
