Guild Wars 2

Currently if you’re near an enemy (red) or a neutral creature (yellow) and you use a shout, you will try to attack that creature. This is an annoying behavior that is annoying when you barely can pass some creatures as you can go in combat. Going in combat is quite annoying for my scenario.

Except for the lore, I see no reason to have my character try to make hit to a creature.

The same should be applied to warriors’ shouts.

Turn off autotargeting.

I was about to say I didn’t even know it was possible to have shouts put you in combat lol. But I haven’t used auto targeting since I was a lowbie leveling.

Not so much an auto targeting issue, as a having to make sure you clear targets before you do it. I have had it happen in WvW when I was using mobs to teleport with sword, switched to scepter and used retreat to move across the map, always end up throwing orbs at random mobs -.-

I’m not asking for work-around, but rather a fix. Shouts should not force me in combat mode, no matter what option I may or may not have.

Stop yelling at the enemy. You’re the one provoking them.
