Easy Targeting 

I know alot of people already know or have their own, but I just wanted to share for some people who have not, or are new and don't know.

I recently added a bind that helped me greatly in teams and solo when facing enemies. I run in 3rd person view and sometimes the mouse click does not work right, and when you hit tab, who knows what you might be targeting. Since I run both mouse and Keyboard I set this bind up.

/bind numpad0 Target_custom_near enemy alive

now all I have to do is hit the 0 on my key pad and I have targeted the nearest alive enemy (often the one trying to slap me for all the problems my Zombie army has caused them)

I use the arrow keys for movement and the right control key for my TeamSpeak PTT, so you may want to change the "numpad0" to a key that you can hit easily.

I still use the TAB to cycle through the list to see what is in the group and pick out the baddest boy to send my team in after first, but this bind has saved my booty more than once.


On a second note.. If you are on a team, you can click the teammate in your team list to see who they have targeted (if any). In fact if you target a team mate and use an attack power you will attack the person they are attacking. (note as a MM this will not work to send your pets to that target for some reason)

Also useful to organize your team to make sure that they are not targeting two separate mobs and cause un-needed agro.

RE: Easy Targeting 

You can shoten your bind to: /bind add "target_enemy_near"
(Using the + on the keypad)

RE: Easy Targeting 

I tried that, but it kept targeting a near enemy that had been killed already until the body was removed. Don't know if it does that for everyone or just me.
