Tab Targeting Alternatives for Melee

[Flushing]

I think we should be able to execute every melee ability without tab targeting and that they should have a hitbox that varies based on the size of the weapon.

This wouldn't be to replace tab targeting and would be more like Guild Wars 2 and not as extreme as New World.

Even WoW has numerous melee abilities that function that way. The gameplay just feels better when you have those options, and I think it wouldn't be too hard to implement here.

Tab Targeting for Melee is just boring.

I otherwise love Throne and Liberty.

You already can. Go into Settings and check the box that auto shoots the nearest enemy when you use a skill without a target.

That's essentially tab targeting and not what I am talking about.

That daggers, sword, and greatsword should all have a hitbox that varies based on their size, and that you should be able to just swing away like in an Action RPG.

Honestly, yes. I have been looking for posts that could help me with the targeting issues especially with melee, and I don't find much. Mostly because there isn't anything we can do to actually fix it on our own.

The additional problem with the targeting system, is the fact that the game will change targets despite my settings. It will target an ally or some enemy to the side, so I'm either hitting the wrong target, or I'm "too far away" because, again, it's not the target I even wanted. So I truly would rather play without its "assistance".

Let me hit things via the reticle like an actual action combat. Direct my movements and skills to where I'm facing. And if I want a target to stick on something, then let me manually do that via a hotkey. This is what I was hoping for from the combat, not whatever it is we've got so far.
