This has been broken since day one and I’m sick and tired of hitting TAB to ‘Target Next Enemy’, as the description states, only to have it target a yellow creature, a friendly NPC or some inanimate object like a chest, weapons rack or a barrel.

Surely it can’t be that difficult to have this work as intended.

Pressing Tab never targets friendly/allied NPCs for me. And it rarely opts to target a yellow mob unless there are simply no other hostile mobs around me.

I can beat that. For me it often targets other players

Edit: ignore my moaning and skip to the last para

My biggest problem with this is that it often refuses to target huge bosses slap-bang in front of me. For instance during Maw, it repeatedly switches to target the ice-storms, sometimes I can go through the whole event and never manage to target the Svanir Shamen at all. Shadow Behemoth is another boss that defies my attempts to target it. Karka Queen is just bizarre, usually there’s nothing else around for the targeting to switch to so I just get…nothing. Nothing targeted at all. I can Tab til I’m blue in the face, if it doesn’t want me to target KQ then I just can’t. And you can forget Claw of Jormag, all I can do there is run around trying to get numbers by general AoE-ing. And then others, like Fire Ele, are totally fine. It’s a mystery.

I do champs nearly every night, mostly I’m used to these targeting weird-outs so I just try to work around them. But sometimes I can go right the way through an event and not be able to target a single thing at all, which is a massive waste of time and food/buffs.

One thing I have noticed, which may or may not be helpful, is that once a player name comes up, that’s it, it won’t target anything else, except occasionally another player. It’s like the Tab key does nothing once you’ve got a player’s name there. And of course at boss fights where there are loads of players around you, it’s very hard to click anywhere, even on the boss, and not get a player’s selected.
