Guild Wars 2

Greetings Mesmer friends! I wasn’t sure about posting this here or at the bug forum, but I guess it makes more sense here.

The last few days I couldn’t play since my router was broken. Yesterday I played the first time after the Teq-Patch. So I startet with farming at Orr…

I sometimes did those veteran giants, and then I noticed that every time when I’m not facing the target (with the camera), it stops beeing selected, so I couldnt run away and summon iDuellist e.g.. Also when I was fighting against 2 mobs I could simply face the other mob (just camera!) and it selected it without me doing something.

It’s annoying as f**k and I can’t find anything at the ingame options. Anyone can help me? Am I the only one?

2 options you need to check. First option is promote skill target. This should be checked. Second option is right click to attack/interact. That should be unchecked.

Ok ty, gonna check this out in … 9 hours

Nope, if your character is facing in the opposite direction almost no skill will work properly. You can’t attack your backside.

So be sure that when the phant cast is finished to turn your character towards the target for a short moment.

You’re wrong. Not sure how else to put it.

Dude … I played my mesmer for over a year now – I allways did it like this and It is supposed to work. The problem isn’t the skill, it’s the fact that I loose my selection when not facing something. I can’t backup with walking away and attack again, I allways have to reselect things >_>

It sounds like you have autotargeting turned on. Mesmers don’t need to face their target to summon a phantasm.

Autotargeting? WHERE IS IT??? :O Be my hero >.<

Edit: It seems to be a serious bug: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Targeting-bug-3/first#post2880911
