Q:

Not to replace current ground-targeting mode, just to add another option.

Will conditions on our fingers be removed?

Saw a data mining post on reddit showing some potential feature about it, however it was introduced in last patch.

I saw a 5,286 post stating it is a fact that the engineer elite spec will be called forgeman, from some data mined post.

But how would “auto-targeting” save your fingers? You still have to throw grenades.

Secondly, I doubt you saw anything about auto targeting, The mined feature is something that snaps your AoE circles to a target. There is a difference between aim assisted ground targeting and Auto attack. Auto attacks track the target, this data mined feature will not.

I understand what you said. IMHO an option of “pseudo auto-targeting”, if it is not “real” auto-targeting, could still be useful to some players; those who want more control on the position can still manually target every wave of grenades.

For the 1000th time (congrats): Auto Attack on nades would be bad. It now actually takes a little skill to use (at least at longer range cuz predicting movement), and AA would make them all miss.

I like the flavour of the ground target.

all nades need is a “hold button to keep attacking” function setting. A “true” auto attack isnt needed…same counts for mortar
