Targeting (For Melee Tanks)

[Suzahn]

There is no Target of Target, sadly.

hitting F on a non-cover class will change your target to your target's target. So as a healer, I might target the boss and hit F which will then switch my target to the tank (or whoever is being hit). or I might target my focus target and then hit F to target my focus target's target. It's kind of a pain, and I agree there needs to be target-of-target.


Here's a repost of something that was posted on the beta boards today.

Quote:I really like the Focus Target feature. I think many people in game dont even know it exists, or dont know how to use it so here is what I've found:

You have to first enable the Focus Target feature in the game preferences.

Once enabled there are some things you can do with it.

ALT F sets your Focus target. A small healthbar will appear to the upper right of your normal target healthbar.

If you have something other than your Focus targeted and hit ALT F it will swap their positions. (Focus will be come target, target will be come Focus).

If you hold END (by default) your mouse cursor will turn purple and any ability you use will be used on your Focus target rather than your main target. (I use this for healing, I set my companion or the main 'tank' as my Focus)


Also of note, if you hold HOME any ability you use will be used on yourself instead of your target. This can be helpful if you need to heal/buff yourself but have another player targeted.

I dont get why people feel that way about referring to WoW. It was THE mmorpg. It is the standard, you wouldnt make fun of Babe Ruth. It saddens me to think people are so shallow-minded that they regard wow with such distaste. Blizzard and that game have 50% of the mmo fanbase. Just because the new kid on the block (swtor) comes doesnt mean you start hating your old friends Swtor will be judged by the standard that is WoW.
