In Dragonflight we’ll be able to toggle auto-targetting, which will automatically target the mob you are facing if no target is selected. I’m hopeful, but will it make the same bizarre choices tab targeting does?

Ok? I won’t use it, no need.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same old tab target, except with a smaller radius in which case I wouldn’t expect miracles.

I see a lot of range classes mispulling distant mobs.
Wait, so business as usual then

Is it even useful in terms of quality of life and accessibility?

Yep… I see a lot of un intended pulls and some people making macros reminding groups to turn it off.
That said, I am all for it as a solo runner of old content. It will make things even faster.

SW horrific visions was the worst for this. Oh you want to target this cultist directly in front of you? Here, take this random mob halfway across the district instead.

I have always wondered why very little was done with auto targeting. If an enemy attacks you should it be automatically targeted? Instead, you panic and hit TAB and hit an enemy far away and a whole new mob runs up to you.
Tab targeting in this game is a meme

Sounds like it could be useful. Until it makes it harder to target the mob that needs an interrupt.
What would be really useful is a tab closest target that doesn’t cycle. It just actually always gets the closest target.
And a cycle target in range.
It’s such a PITA on my monk trying to get a hit in on multiple mobs. Especially if the tank is zooming around all over the place.

If I have nothing selected and a mob attacks me I do auto target them. Maybe this is a setting in options?
I’m sure auto-targetting will lead to many accidental pulls.

That with “hold to keep casting” kind of sounds like maybe WoW is coming out for Xbox?

Yeah I’ve pretty much stopped tab targeting and click target… having tab target select the mobs behind me that weren’t even engaged got more than annoying…
and no I have absolutely zero faith right now that it will function even remotely like it should.
Can’t mispull mobs when Barrage hits everthing

I was gonna say.
My mage has been pulling distant trash on the horizon since 2005.

Pulling stuff so far out you need an [Ornate Spyglass] to see it
As someone who uses tag targeting as rdps, it’s been way better than before. I don’t think I’ve tab pulled more than twice this whole expansion.

This already happens with melee abilities. Turning it off would be a welcome change.
