I'll type /tar name sometimes :)

Most times I just click, however.

I haven't really gotten into Tab for some reason, even though I used a similar mechanic in guild wars... I think my problem with Tab-targetting is you never know what you're going to get next, especially if the enemy is moving around.

Maybe I'll try expanding my tab target range as suggested above and give it another try.

Top left, but yeah. If you impose a clock face on your screen, just imagine sweeping clockwise from 9PM.

Just use tab for the most part, or a combination of V bars + switching when the monster is at 5%. Raid symbols have made me pretty obselete though.

Tab 'n pray. Also as a hunter I like to do 'rolling' autoshots from one target to another to find something squishy.

I use my mouse wheel to scroll through targets. Up = TAB analog, down = previous target.

For easy configuration of the tab targeting range.

Another usefull tip, although maybe not EXACTLY what the OP is looking for:

For DAB users, I bind my middle mouse button to a hidden floater. On the floater is a macro that checks a DAB variable if you are autoattacking. If you aren't, turn on autoattack.

This has the nice ability of targeting the nearest mob, if you have no target, and attacking it. Turns on your autoattack if you have a target, too. I find it usefull in situations like clearing the suppression room. My FPS goes to shit in that place, clicking those little whelps can be very unreliable, even the big dragonkin can be a pain.

/tar a : bind to shift+a
/tar b
/tar c

etc :p

One thing also, if you find yourself losing your target randomly, it might be because you don't have Sticky Targetting option on(Interface menu in base wow client). What it does is prevents you from unselecting your target by left clicking somewhere. It happens if you mouse look often with LMB, sometimes you'll lose your target.

As for the rest, everyone has its own things, I'm a ToT and /assist maniac to find what to attack and who's attacking what(or what's attacking who...). I can also usually tell who has mob aggro just from looking at where they're going, it's usualyl always the same healers who pull aggro with preemptive healing on untanked mobs, and being horde, it's usually always the same fat tauren shaman with orange shoulders, so it's easy ^^.

And yeah, playing RTS will improve your ability to pick targets fast with a left(or right for autoattack)click.

Tab+clicks+assists are usually all you'll ever need for PvP targetting.

Also if you're a hunter, there's an addon that lets you pick target from your minimap tracking dots, which is AWESOME for group PvP assists when everyone is assisting you and you need to pick a target before they're even in range/visible.

Try Cirk's Targetz. My current guild leader pointed me in the direction of this addon and it's pretty useful. It displays the name of anyone in your raid who is targeting a mob in the tooltip when you mouse over it. If you're into making addons, with a little modification you could even have it color code names in the tooltip by class, only list warriors/bears or have some sort of indicator, or change the tooltip background color when a mob has no warriors/bears targeting it.

There is also a mod that show's (in the mouse hover tooltip) what that mob has targetted. It's good for a caster as it shows "YOU" in big bold white lettering.
The name of it escapes me at the moment, but I'll be able to check my mod list tonight, and tell you, if no body else replies with the name by then.

there was a mod that when activated, when you press tab it would skip all mobs that are targeting a warrior.
let me look for the link

edit : found it http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/a...arttarget.html
old addon but it might still work with no or minor modifications.


edit 2 :

this is what i use for that : http://paradoxguild.net/gogu/SimpleMouseoverTarget.rar
it looks like this : http://paradoxguild.net/gogu/tot.jpg (lower right corner above the normal tooltip).
