Ok, i have played the game since beta.. and now i cant take it anymore

!

Is there a way to quickly cycle through minions in the area instead of actually clicking on them? The only shortcut i can find is Select Nearest Ally... but that doesn't allow you to cycle through them.

Its so frustrating trying to fish through names just to find your minion and cast a spell on it!

Ok as no one is helping you ill have a try, im not to sure about this but it cant hurt trying it...

Usually if i wanted to target a enemy i would press C first to get the closest one then TAB untill i get to it and it usually works from closest to furthest

So in your case i think using V(nearest ally i think) and then tab it should scroll to the allys from you outwards.

Vamps.

Sorry vamp, that won't work, if you aren't targeting the nearest enemy, tab works just like C.

There is no key to cycle through allies (other than assigning party members to numpad, etc). I know there have been several threads on the subject, most likely in Sardelac. I hate that I have to wave my pointer around hoping to highlight a minion. Then I consider mysely lucky if I click him before the sucker moves. I remember creating this thread a while back complaining about the same thing.

(By the way, don't resurrect that old thread, I am sure there are more recent discussions about it in Sardelac.)

It's annoyed me too, and recently I've found a solution that Arenanet can use. If they allowed minions to be shown as allies with the ALT key, then you'd be able to click your minions FAR easier.
