Can anyone tell me why the next target icon don't work? I hit again 'n' again but nothing happened.
yes this function has been broken for like 3 Chronicles now.
they need to up the range to atlest 600, or make one for ranged classes. right now the range is about 200 maybe 150, give or take.
It's a Function only good for some classes and instances, mostly only close range fighters.
And it hurts all of us lazy people who don't want to run to the end of the cata to get that one mob that had to spawn way far away from the rest.
The other thing they need to fix is Attack key, when a mob dies you go to atk the next mob, and it forces your targeting back to the dead mob, very annoying.
Seems to work like intended for me. Also the target-lag is eliminated when I use Next target instead of trying to target with my mouse.. weird. Anyways, I use this alot on my SWS, on my archer it would be annoying.. next target oh, lets target the mobs behind me while I have 3 aggro in front of me. Nice way to creat chaos (and get killed), it's fine like it is now.
The next target button, as well as a /target macro, doesnt target the NEAREST mob. It just targets any mob in the range that this option can cover.
So if you keep things like they are (and I suspect they just target a mob from a list sorted with a hash table) but increase the range to 600, then you'll have a mob just in front of you, but the targeting option can target a mob at a range of 500 or more, it will seem to be random.
They did reduce the range of this, and if you hit the attack button too quickly, it does lag back, next target or not. Also, in pvp, the lag between my comp telling the server where I am, and my opponents comp telling the server where they are, makes this key very difficult to use effectively.
I agree with the OP, please adjust the range to encompass more area.
I'd vote for not adjusting 'next target', but instead adding a 'target nearest', as a melee type toon, next target is invaluable... flip through close mobs quickly and then attack. As any other toon, a target nearest would save a lot of hastle, or, maybe even just a 'ranged target' so that it works like next target, but covers a range. I just know that if you extend the range on next target, it will effectively break it for close range fighters fighting multiple mobs.
It seems to me target lag is almost eliminated when using next target, on monsters. Never really tried in PVP since I'm at 900 range most of the time targeting other long ranged people..
