Hot key for targeting new mobs

[Riply]

Must be an easier way to target the mobs automatically. I’m just doing all names double click there health bar to attack, but seems like to many steps to perform.
Thankyou for suggestions.

In the CC I use:

Target Nearest > Hostile
Attack Selected

So I just run around smashing one key lol. It WILL target summons...so EV's, Colossus etc. but for this event, that's not really an issue.

You can also add that to each weapon special macro so you hit them with AI or whatever. Can add counter attack at the end also.

 

[Riply]

Thank you.

From actions menu in EC, set up macros for target nearest enemy and target next enemy. Flip between those until you get the desired target.

Awesome! Had not thought of tat last one : counterattack at end of macro, so you get to hit once more!

 

[Riply]

Hmm under macros I’m not seeing
Target nearest anyone else having this problem?

It's select nearest, way down near the bottom

This is a practical macro. I could have used that the past 26 years. So, I'm going to add it to all my close combat characters.
I suppose there are also variants to it for other skills? What would it look like for a tamer, a provoker, or other?

Please note with this macro in 2d, broadsword are currently requiring users to download third party client to filter out EVs, neutral animals, and red/grey guild mates and their pets.
But as Larisa said it’s not really a problem for this event as it’s trammel.
I am using this macro in trammel without third party client with no issues.

it has been requested many times for filters for official client but they are still promoting third party client as the solution.

 

[Tarragon Slayer/MZB]

I'm already busy trying to answer my own questions

So far, I have a CC macro to attack in close combat:
+SelectNearest Hostile
+AttackSelectedTarget

and for my tamer:
+SelectNearest Hostile
+Say all kill
+WaitForTarg
+LastTarget

Not sure if the Wait for Target is necessary, but it doesn't seem to slow down my pet.

Now, if I can just create one for a provo bard too, I'll feel quite happy.

I figured out the problem I had disabled the new targeting system.

THIS is really good information and I often wonder why I'm not wired to think like this!

I started doing it long ago with Discord. I have discord attached in front Consecrate Weapon on that archer. But I don't have attack in that one. So I discord stuff and hit with the correct damage.

Could do the same with Honor and AI or whatever.

 

[Ungoliant]

i use the honor virtue with the targeting

 

[Deschet]

Trying to work honor target into the nearest hostile macro. Think I saw @Jepeth post how to do it on the other forum, but can't find the post. What's the optimal way to set that up?

 

[Drakelord]

I figured out the problem I had disabled the new targeting system.

so to use that CC Macro I need to enable targeting?

 

[Larisa]

Just make sure this isn't checked

 

[Riply]

Yup

Or you can always do like others in Game, use a script along with Now Follow button.......Those are the Greedy ones that are taking all the kills in this Event. And I am sick of it, so if it isn't stopped I might have to learn how to script like the others in game
