Target changing
Try turning ‘promote target’ on in the options.
I had this issue as well. However, I turned off auto-target and used tab targeting and have not had the issue. If you tab target the one you want, or click target, it does not drop. however, if the target was picked due to auto-targeting…well, you may auto-target to something else…especially if it move out of your view and their are mokittengets available. Not a perfect fix, but certainly has helped me a lot.
Yeah I have been loosing targets today. I will start firing my bow with my Ranger. And it drops off and I have to re-tab every so often to regain my target. Dosen’t matter how near or far I am either.
Yes, it has been very flaky lately. I haven’t had it switching targets to another enemy, just dropping the target so it has to be re—targeted and occasionaly target changes to a friendly player.

Yeah same problem here, targeting seems all over the place, several “hostiles” around me, so it targets a “non-hostile” some way off.
Jumping puzzles, love them or hate them, I hate them. Thread killer.
I had the exact same problem until I turned on “promote target” in options. I was always losing/changing target mid fight. I still get the issue of auto attack locking some random off in the distance (or off screen) but double esc or hitting target nearest works around that issue.
Random target changing happens to me all the time on my elementalist. Even with the option ‘autotargeting’ off and the option ‘Promote skill target’ on i keep switching targets if i use tab targeting. As long as there are more then one hittable objects in my screen i keep switching targets. I feel only safe to cast when i angle my camera in a way that i only see one target on my 24" screen.. I never had this problem on my ranger(80) before. Very annoying.
This problem is back since the last patch, and even worse than it’s ever been. I’m not the only one, our whole guild has been complaining of this since patch.
I had this very problem when a group of us went in to do the Caudecus’s Manor dungeon on explorable the other night. Extremely frustrating as my Ranger constantly had to re-acquire my target throughout the entire run.
Almost had a group wipe in one fight because of this issue and was fortunate the target was almost down…so my quick tab to get him back on target worked since there were no other enemies in the way.
BTW I do not have auto target on either…so this is a head scratcher for me as well.

Is there any word on whether or not the devs will be looking at this problem? I’ve not seen anything concrete noted anywhere. If there is a notation, I can’t find it.
