Feedback on Target Lock

Yes, there simply must be an option to disable it completely.

It messes way too much with casting of smaller aoe skills.

Suffering as a monk too
I agree. At least make it a toggle. Im using the quarterstaff and any time I throw my bell down in a group I target the nearest enemy instead of the bell.
+1. Titan LVL 82 here and it drives me crazy! Causing a lot of (very punishing) deaths in endgame, because you are often unable to escape when you need to. You should at all times have full control over your character.

Targeting definitely needs another look.

My Leap Slam sometimes name locks onto enemies and makes me jump backwards or into a direction I don't want to.

I have 100% chance to hit but Perfect Strike still consistently misses because the character visually attacks to the side of the target.

Attack-in-place also doesn't entirely do what I'd expect it to do. When I cast Leap Slam outside of range my character still walks a noticeable distance and then initiates the windup. If I cast outside of range I expect Leap Slam to instantly start and just jump as far as it will go into the designated direction.

So what I need are:

- "Free aim" option on a per-skill basis that disables name locking
- Name locking to actually lock onto enemies, guaranteeing a hit if the enemy is within range
- Skills casting as far as they can go if I target them outside of their range


same Issue with the Bell of the Monk.
On Console
U use Tempest Bell. It drops, and your caracter starts to fire Glacial Cascade in random direktion, mostly behind into a wall, where no enemys are.

Think there is a targeting issue with somewhat range Meele attacks. attacks, that are not really close, but some step aways.
Yes please let's make sure ggg understands this needs changing.
+1 please either remove name locking or lets us choos if the skill will name lock.
I just want to resurrect this thread because quite honestly this is one of the biggest issues in the game. This is a core, unchangeable aspect of game control and it is objectively bad.

It feels bad for me on controller and it feels bad for me on M&K. It feels bad for single target skills and somehow it feels even worse for AoE skills; this is because for an AoE, you'll usually want to target a specific location, only for the auto-targeting to kick in and instead focus on an enemy nearby your mouse, completely throwing off the AoE's intended impact.

Please for the love of god, just let us toggle it on and off completely. Its one of the worst things about the game currently.
+1 for a toggle to remove auto lock
mouse aim means almost nothing
