Guild Wars 2

Last time I checked, “Nearest Enemy” targeting didn’t prioritize far away Champions over closest normal monsters.

Tried with Veteran monsters and doesn’t prioritize over closer normal monster.

Dunno about Elites.

Should there be target to be focused, it should be called target, by player itself when not in party, and vice versa.

i believe this is intended with the last patch, with the “smart targeting” or whatever its called that priorertizes players(and champions it looks like) over other NPCs..but i agree it should be a option to turn it off as iv pulled the champion harpy a few times now by mistake
