is there a way to call a target for your team to attack without you automatically attempting to attack that target?

If ur dead u can still call....other than that no i think if u call a hostile target u will always move in for attack, but then how hard is it to just press S after calling?

calling targets is good at times when only one person does it but when everyone starts calling different targets, it's real bad, lol.

If you press Control+Shift+Space you will announce what you are targeting, but not attack it. I think that's what FilthyMcNasty was getting at..

EDIT: when you think about it, this is what should be meant when people say "call your target", since it causes your character to say "I'm targeting X". It's a really useful way for everyone to be able to designate the same target easily before a fight even begins..

CTRL+Space should really be known as a "called attack", since your character says "I'm attacking X"

not that I care, just one of those things..
