Default Cycle nearest NPC's not working for me

Hi all,

Sorry but I really didn't know where I should post this.

I'm on green server.

So I set a key bind for target closest NPC, works fine. But no matter what key I bind to cycle nearest NPCs it just does nothing.

Is this a know bug? I've search the forums but I dont see anyone else with this problem, so I'm thinking it's just me.

Any help appreciated.

do Alt+O ... Keys tab .. Target drop down ... target nearest NPC -- default is F8 ... set alternate to ` or try TAB that should target nearest NPC

cycle through nearest npc is not classic, Don't expect it to ever work on green. Which it shouldn't

I am extremely thankful that the staff allow it on blue.

Oh really..I thought it was always in game.

Guess my memory is not as good as it use to be!

Working as intended to make charming/mezzing more difficult and because it was this way in classic.

Having said that I've been having a lot of difficulties mouse targeting, is there anything I can do to make it easier? I swear I am clicking on a certain NPC but the system doesn't seem to register it half of the time.

Not complaining, just trying to get better [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The trick is to change which npc is closest to you/in sight each time you hit your 'target closest' button.

clicking mobs individually or using /assist on other players/pets is another way to target quickly.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm sure I'll get to grips with it. I did it before, it seems, so I'll get use to it again.

Now that I think of it, I used to use a stop watch for mez recast time...hah

I remember using a stopwatch to time mez...heh

Sorry if this comes out a double post, quick reply didn't seem to work I think.

If you're at a camp for awhile, you can make `/target {mob name here}`. I've been doing this for camps where I need to mezz on a regular basis as an Enchanter. Works well for the most part.

You can also toggle between the last two NPCs you had selected. I'm absolutely loving the challenge.
