Is there a better way to target than clicking? - Guild Wars Forums

Upside · Dec 22, 2008, 02:03 AM // 02:03

I generally play midline ele for my guild (BSurge, Shatterstone). Generally, I'm constantly switching between enemies to snare, blind and spike. I've been doing fine, except once or twice per match, I misclick and miss the person I'm trying to target. Every few games, this crucial miss of a blind or a snare cause someone to drop. People have told me to try to tab through target, but I've had trouble when we get into the lord chamber, when the enemy rit puts up too many spirits, or when a necromancer pulls up a couple of minions. Any suggestions as to how to target better?

If someone else calls the target, you can just do T+Spacebar to attack that called target. If you guys aren't calling the targets, the best way is clicking imo.

Look through your controls to see what your "target closest enemy" and your "cycle enemy" hotkeys are.

Other then that, you can hold down Ctrl before you click so you can get a clearer picture of who you're targeting.

If theres 2 main targets you wonna focus w.e spells on i usually call one my self n get someone else to call the other. Allowing me to just click the lil thing on party list when ever i need to recast a certain spell on that target JEE.

I find the best way when playing Ele and such is to just hit "Tab" (The default for cycle targets) and wait for who i want to come in the target bar.

You get better/faster the more you do it.
