Guild Wars 2

Are there anyone else who notice that the ranger at times to so freaking stupid that it chooses a target further away then the one that is closer. Also, there are many times that there is an monster in front (like literally in front smacking me) and it decides to fire a shot at another which is far away to argo it. The problem is when you dodgy or strife, the selected target is deseelcted….why?..i dont know. Stupid Anet programming. and so when you hit button 1….the ranger fires a shot at sometime else rather then the one thats closest and infront of you.

And also can we have the pet not engage unless we engage eventhough it is being attacked. Besides have the attack/friendly button which i think just think adds unnecessary clicking.

No, Ichan, you are not imagining things. I often have to hit the key I have bound to “nearest enemy” twice in order to actually get the enemy that’s closest targeted. (And at times, I’ve even had to use the mouse to click the enemy right in my face that refuses to be targeted with Tab or my nearest enemy button – Mouse4).

With the above said, I think it’s gotten a little better in the last few weeks. Anet may have changed something, or I’ve just become more accustomed to double clicking my Mouse4 button before shooting. /shrugs.

And we need to have the Avoid combat/Guard button in a key bind, i.e. F5. Trying to click it during WvW battles is a joke.

Thanks. Just wanna make sure if I have forgotten how to play the ranger. I have to say its really annoying because you are trying to control the fight and its like “oh…let me invite you pretty thrall over there too”

To be clear, this has nothing to do with the ranger. People have been complaining about the targeting system since beta.
