Tab targeting in FFXIV

[Adhominem]

Coming from 14 years of WoW FFXIV is a breath of fresh air. Im really enjoying it and think it's a great game. Now here comes oen of the big "however", the tab targeting here is horrendous. In WoW it starts with the closest enemy, in FFXIV it seems like it's chosing targets randomly.

A friend told me to look at the target I was trying to tab to but thats doesn't seem to work very well. Im just coming from a fight were I fought 4 mobs who were agressive towards me with alot of passive/non- aggressive mobs around. When I killed the first agressive mob I started to tab while looking towards one of the agressive mobs and the game started to tab through all the passive/non-agressive mobs instead of the mobs I was actually fighting.

This shouldn't be too hard of an fix and would improve the gaming experience immensely.

Otherwise Im surprised how good this game and I love everything about it so far. Everything as in everything apart from some small minor annoying things like the tab targeting.

I think Tab goes for the first target from the top left. And ONLY aims at mobs you can see at that time.

If you are already aiming at something, Tab will go to the next in line and keeps doing that until you reach the first target again or disselect it.

there 2 type of tab target: Ignore Depth and Cone i personnaly prefer Cone its more like wow

Try both in Character configuration:Control Setting-Target

You can set a keybind to target your closest enemy, it helps immensely.

Tab targeting can take a long time when there are a lot of enemies on the screen. Click targeting I think is preferable.

If you go into keybinds and targeting you will see that tab is set to target nearest enemy (nearest to furthest) and ♥♥♥♥+tab is target nearest enemy ( furtherst to nearest). The names dont really fit how they work but w/e if you use the shift+tab one it works exactly like WOW does so I just flipped the two and made the second option set to tab and i feel home again. Also keep target type set to ignore depth as for me when I changed to cone it seemed to make the newly set tab key to work kinda funny.

Necro but its so bad in FFXIV i just click enemies while in larger fights like Frontlines or multipull dungeons.
In WoW brawls, those raid vs raid there was zero problems with targeting with tab

Yep, still trash.

No, tab targeting in this game sucks 100%. If they had priorities, fine, but I've tabbed and cycled through every enemy on screen except the one I wanted to actually target.
