    Title: Targeting is Not Locking Sometimes (2nd time reporting)
    Reproduction Rate: 25%, happening intermittently
    Blocker? No
    Details: The targeting lock drops immediately following damaging a target, making it impossible to focus on one critter at a time in a mob. Must keep hitting 'G' to continue attacking a specific target. Bugged it last release, but it didn't get any attention.
    Steps to Reproduce: Try locking on one critter in a mob.

    We're not seeing this issue occur upon internal testing with our swarm of zombies and a bow. We may need more specific reproduction steps to see exactly what you're seeing. Upon using 'G' we're seeing the same target acquired throughout the fight. The only time this has changed is if double-clicking is done to either deselect the target, or select a new target. Is the problem occurring for you using free-attack, or auto-attack? What weapons are you using?

    Any details may help us investigate this issue further.

    Thanks.

    Sorry Attenwood. The problem is horribly intermittent. It stuck with me for a few hours and went away again.

    I'm using a mage build, wand weapon: (It's the exact same build I sent you pics of a few weeks ago, if you still have the conversation. If not I can send again upon request.)

    I use neither free or auto-attack. I just use Tier 2 spells only for damage.

    When the bug is happening, I select a target with 'G', and as soon as the selected target takes damage, it starts to auto-select the closest target again.

    Valor told me he's seen this bug also. He uses a melee sword build.

    Can you send me the details of the weapons and equipment you're wearing? Is any of it enchanted/Masterworked? Any have unique rare proc properties? On-Hit?

    Nope. It's all junk gear.

    Cotton Epic Cloth Set, Maple Wand, Iron Heavy Round Shield. Nothing enchanted/masterworked. Very basic noob mage build. Do you need pics?

    Which spells specifically are you using? Sorry for the inquisition. I just want to get as close to a repro case as possible. :)

    Sorry for the delay. Fire Arrow, Ice Arrow, Searing Ray, Obsidian Arrow, Discharge, And Corpse Explosion.

    This issue hasn't been seen by me for a few days. It comes and goes every few weeks. May be very hard to reproduce, because I can't even get it to happen again now. :( & :)
