Grim Views

Check out these two videos about a new targeting mechanism that Blizz brought us. It's pretty amazing.

I also notice in the first video, that it looks like tab-targeting has been fixed. It now properly cycles through mobs.

Target Enemy Scan and the follow-up.

Praise plastic baby jeebus.

Mmm.

I might have to switch to this. Tab-targeting has been acting in revolt against my will lately.

So looking at the video I see that tab-targeting is, in fact, still only working in some strange non-Euclidean fashion.

Wow. This looks gamechanging ... and I mean that literally.

The second video was amazing with the concept. Holding the key down, angle yourself as you wish, release to target and annihilate.

Seeing the normal tab-targeting in the first video, it made 100% sense to me. Starts with the closest and shifts on down the line until it reaches the end and comes back.

I'll have to try it in person. I didn't like the surprise jump to the far targets.

It made sense because the dummies were static. In a normal many-mobs fight they move around a little, or you do, resulting in tab targeting doing what is supposed to but not what you "expect".

Good point. But prior to patch, I think tab-targeting was so jacked up that it would have skipped around the target dummies erratically (probably sticking with the ones in back, since TT to close mobs seemed impossible).

The revised tab targeting system is more efficient at spreading exactly one wave of Dots.

After that, it seems impossible to hit the target you're looking at except through clicking. The scan feature is pretty nice, so it's likely that I'll end up using both features.
