    Default Targetting

    Sorry if this has been suggested already, but might be nice if we could select how we target, like in the options there could be

    Target First: Closest [] Weakest [] Other? []

    I hate the fact that I auto target the closest mob when I really wanna join in attacking the mob that someone else close by is attacking.

    Maybe I am the only one though

    You can click on the mob that you want to attack.

    Targeting disposition is something we can easily add: closest, weakest, and assist (prefer what party members are attacking).

    Point being? That isnt what I wanted. If people agree with me maybe they can implement it, if people wouldnt like this feature then i guess I can rage silently.

    Yes an 'assist' option that targets what my closest ally is targetting would be good.

    Yes! This would be perfect for my Archer. Especially with tanks becoming more necessary. Much easier to dps one enemy down than three.
    Syacoff - lvl 35 Archer - Alterra
    Sahdatay - lvl 35 Bowchantress - Alterra
    Thumbo - lvl 10 Bearzerker (Leaving him low on purpose. Wanna check out low lvl PvP too)

    I agree with the assist option. The ability to group target a particular mob is huge in heavy encounters, and will be invaluable in pvp.

    Even a next target button (and maybe previous) would be nice. The click to target system is a bit clunky (slow) as currently implemented.

    This would be very cool. I hate when my enchantress, who's really not doing much weapon attacking anyway, starts meandering away from the party because auto-target picked some bad guy around the corner. Click to target isn't the ideal solution for me, and most of the time I just double tap my character which untargets the enemy.

    assist would be amazing, but if more than one person has a different target, how do you know what to assist? If there was a means to call targets (in my head I am thinking Guild Wars as an example) and a subsequent assist targeting available to the rest of the group, coordinating group attacks would be amazing. To be perfectly honest, I get a little annoyed with the randomness of group attacks in a dungeon, and anything that promotes group cohesion would be a welcome addition in my book.

    I'm against targetting weakest. It's just a way to rack up your kills when really we should be focusing on the boss.

    Liking the rest of the ideas tho.

    Not sure if this is possible, with Pocket Legends. But in other MMORPG games, there was a way to create macro's that would help in this instance and alot of other areas as well.

    Example:

    /Assist "Warrior" (target mob that "Warrior" has targetted)
    /AutoAttack

    That way, there is one main focal attack point, and everyone will assist this person.

    Cool

    I like the idea of a target mode
    Weakest / nearest / boss
    And to be able to shoot and run without stoping to turn
