Guild Wars 2

I found some old topics on this such as this one, but I didn’t want to necro those old threads.

Just curious if anyone knew if there had been any recent conversation about this topic or possibly any dev responses? It came to mind recently because I’ve been spending a bit more time with my Engineer lately, and I really like the concept of the grenade kit, but the constant targeting on skill #1 was driving me crazy. It’s not a L2P issue and I think I could get used to it, but it’s just annoying to need to.

I played around with the instant ground targeting option, but that wasn’t quite what I was looking for since I use the right mouse button to manage the camera, so the location of the mouse cursor isn’t where I want to target most of the time.

Honestly if the grenade kit worked on land like it does underwater, it would be perfect in my opinion. I’m sure there are places where the strategic value of always being able to target the grenades would have value (eg. leading an enemy who is moving) but that’s why giving players options is a good thing. Maybe an option to instantly ground target at the targeted enemy location (rather than mouse cursor location) would be the way to go.
