Action camera targeting - Friendly targets
OrdinAery
Member, Alpha Two
Slotting an ability that can target allies adds allies to the list of targetable combatants. Totally makes sense. I would like a togglable option in the targeting settings to make allies only targetable in tab mode though.
Reason being:
In action camera mode, as a mage, I had a friend tanking a group of mobs. The friend tanking kept moving to other sides of the group of mobs and would become the new target if they rolled/ran in front of my crosshair. This would sometimes feel clunky as I would cancel my damaging skills if I casted when he moved. I could lock on to individual targets, but again, it just felt a little clunky- especially when dealing with groups of mobs.
I had elemental weapon on my bar and had given them the buff. That was the extent of the targeting of friendly I had to do. If I wanted to reassign that buff at all, I wouldn't mind doing it in tab for a brief moment.
Not everyone will want this change (although I can't imagine healing or something friendly target intensive in action camera), but that is why a targeting option that people can opt into would be nice. 2 cents and obviously there are work arounds, but thought I would throw this out that and see if people felt the same.
