    I would buy WOD if they fixed tab-targeting.

    I would buy it just for that.






    I'm not even joking.

    It works just check your key bindings

    At what point did they break it? Ive also been noticing its been alot harder to tab target lately and in certain instances I have to move my char physically so I can tab something that is very clearly in sight and the camera is facing them...Pretty annoying.

    I believe your character's front part must be facing the mobs in order to target them, not just the camera. For example, facing a mob with your side and pressing tab will not target it, even though your camera angle is directed towards it.

    the mob directly in front of me is often the hardest to target.

    THIS! yea when I tab it usually cycles through the mobs furthest away before coming to the mob right infront.

    They probably messed with the targetting cone. Reduced angle?

    Weird, after trying a ton of other MMOs I can never get them close to how good WoWs tabbing is.

    there is a simple fix... use nameplates and just click whichever mob you wanna target... that way you easily select the mob you want... use tab targeting for selecting mobs that are harder to use the nameplate method for.

    Not easy for people who use their mouse to move. They rely on keybinds/tab targeting.

    Edit: I use tidyplates and click when I need to get a specific mob for a specific reason but for the purpose of tab target dpsing or tanking its annoying to move with your mouse and have to click all the mobs when tab target fails.

    Yeah well... if you change it like you guys want, it'll be harder to select mobs in the background that aren't visible... the way it is now it's intended to work like I said, u select mobs next to you that are clearly visible with the mouse, and mobs in the background with tab... if they make it select the closest mob with tab then it'd take way more time to select a mob in the background.

    you could always make a macro to assist your focus target aka the dps leader or tank and just keybind it.

    it doesn't even have to be focus, you could make an assist macro and have it @specific player

    WoW's tab targetting is still wonky but I think it's pretty much never going to be as smart as I want it to be, but yeah - it is pretty frustrating when you have to resort to clicking the nameplate because you've already tabbed through 39487 mobs you don't care about.
