Guild Wars 2

When I use the Nearest Enemy hotkey, it doesn’t actually target the closest target IF there is a rank diffraction among the foes. For example, if there is a group of a boss and its minions, the Nearest Enemy hotkey seem to target the boss over the minion, despite the fact the minion is in melee range and the boss is in mid range.

The key has never worked well. Been using it since release and it 99% time targeted something other than the guy in my face, often some neutral (yellow) bird passing 10ft behind. I found if you pressed it a couple of times you did get the nearest on 2nd or 3rd go, and had got in the habit of always clicking that mouse button twice before even considering an attack.

Then they add this priority targeting to it, on purpose. So is now completely broken. If you are anywhere in the vicinity of one of the programmed priority targets it refuses to target anything actually near you. I really wish there was some way to turn that off as it makes playing much harder.

The hotkey should be named to “target something nearby but not actually nearest, unless there is a priority target in the vicinity in which case target that no, regardless of what is in your face attacking you”
