Its the little things in life, please help!
So I have this goal to get old Tab Targeting working, and the new version does not at all work the same, and I want old tab targeting because first its authentic and second because for me it works out better since I do not spam DoT’s
Differences are these so far (testing old tab targeting VS “Classic”)
OG vanilla:
- Character facing dictates tab targeting cone.
- Maximum distance is about 35-40 yards (estimated max range)
- Target angle cone roughly 22.5deg (this is the eyecrometer estimate)
- Targets always nearest first, then cycles outward in a predictable nearest to furthest function.
- targets things in the order of Closest inside character forward angle cone, then goes to next furthest out.
- can OG tab target “target” things behind you? Yes, but it via aggressive testing I find that it only does so after the cone of of forward targeting is exhausted.
The take away from Vanilla - MoP tab targeting is that its very predictable making it easy and intuitive to use.
Classic ERA / Wrath
- Camera facing (not character) dictates tab targeting cone / bubble thingee if you can even call it one, this will target things beside you or behind you, next too you, sorta whatever it desires.
- Classic ERA / WRath tab targeting has no repeatable player learnable consistency in targeting and almost seems as if its trying to guess my desired target, and its often wrong with its guesses.
The take away from “Classic / Retail” tab targeting is that its has no predictable behavior making it incredibly irritating to use, and it does not use Character facing instead using camera facing.
What am I looking for?
- Any way to Toggle old Tab targeting in menu OR Config settings to provide authentic OG vanilla - MoP tab targeting as a fix for this Legion+ Tab targeting system that is not mage or melee friendly.
- Authentic Tab targeting in any way I can obtain it without hacking the game client on my end.
- at bare minimum a way to get the following predictable behaviors. 1. Character facing = target cone, 2. Targets actual nearest in cone first with the chain of tab presses extending out to whatever is desired max range, 3. target cone is narrow roughly 22.5 deg is ideal.
Any way to achieve the dream!
