My favorite new feature: turning to face the mob I am targeting

I love it when my avatar turns to face the enemy she is firing a ranged spell at. Thank you!

 

It seems to help in some ways, but it messes with my ability to turn around sometimes i think.

 

It's cool, but I'm now shooting at MOB's that weren't in the fight and it's a little harder to pick a target in when a mob of MOB's come rushing in.

 

Interesting. Since REl27 I've noticed when I'm trying to melee enemies that my character will randomly turn around to face the camera away from the enemy and then I have to manually turn him back around to fight them.

 

I THOGHT my fight seemed a lot easier to manage!

Now if we could just get the targeting indicators some work so us color blind folk can make out which mob we have targeted a little easier I will be much happier with the combat.

 

can no longer face between two enemies so they're both in my cone of attack.

 

Well, as an archer, before the last patch i was able to fire arrows even backwards while running... lols.

It was obviously too easy and broken mechanic. Now, my character doesn't really turns by himself to the enemy (at least with standard attack, which always is my first attack), i have to turn him!
Indeed, if he's not facing the enemy, the arrow won't be fired.

Much better!

 

Things have changed... I have experienced my avatar targeting a mob farther away than a closer legitimate target (after killing the first target), sometimes turning me around completely. And I too have had trouble lining up my cone of destruction between 2 more more mobs.. I think it's a mouse/keyboard binding change with the game, but I haven't nailed down what the exact change is yet.. I just know my targeting and combat are affected

 

I like the idea of facing what i shoot, but the new auto targeting is awful, it seems to be targeting whichever mob is closest which is weak sauce! PVE is already pretty boring and the satisfaction I get from it comes from my tab target ability, which i have bound to my mouse. With the new changes its ridiculous to try to keep your target on the exact mob your trying to kill first. I haven't tested in PVP, but not a happy camper, it seems broken

 

I too hate this new change to targeting.. I'm still trying to figure out wth it's doing lol

 

All in all a step in the right direction I believe.

 

I think I've noticed the most issues with root/movement skills and then walking backward. Instead of stepping backwards, i instantly turn around(player and not camera) and have some trouble reorienting.

 

I definitely disagree, there is no reason my target should change without my conrol
