Easier way to target mobs while moving?

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hello there!

I am sorry for what probably sounds like a dumb question but I just created an archer and I was wondering if there is an easier way to keep locked on targets and firing while moving? I’m playing using mouse* mode and the problem is that as I hold the mouse button down, occasionally it rolls off the monster and onto the ground which triggers click to move and moves me in the opposite direction I want to do. Having a companion also doesn’t help as it sometimes gets in the way with its conversation bubble and stops my autofiring.

Is there some easier way to do this? It just feels a little off.

Pressing CTRL will enable Target Lock on the monster you are aiming at. Pressing it again will disable it.

To switch targets in this mode you press tab.

#3

Yes, it locks on but it doesn’t continue firing. I have to continually hold the mouse button down for that, which is what triggers things like the click to move.

If you’re playing in keyboard mode then pressing/holding the Z key will allow you to auto attack.

I apologize, I’m playing using mouse mode. That was incorrect info in my original post, sorry about that.

You can use the WSAD keys to move around while targetting monsters with your mouse (auto-attacking or using skills).

#7

Move the cursor over your target and while holding your mouse button, move the cursor to where you want to move. Keep holding the mouse button to keep that target. You also can’t let your cursor mouse over another mob or it will change targets.

Another tip with mouse movement, if you want to run with the map open, open your map and then move your cursor to the edge of the screen to move.

Playing with a mouse is kind of a pita in this game. There’s also several maps where you will be stuck and have to switch to keyboard to move.

Not true.

And lock target doesn’t work on mouse mode, does it?

Hold the mouse and move with WASD or to your mouse cursor on the ground, while still holding the mouse (you’ll keep attacking and can move mouse freely)

Yeah I guess that moving while using WASD and having to hold down the mouse button is the nature of the class. I was hoping there was some other way to auto attack in mouse mode but I guess not. I’m honestly just worried about my fragile old wrists getting sore from it, haha.

You can go A3->QS3, it works with holding Z in Kneeling Shot stance :smiley:

#11

TY for the suggestion! I’m already in C2 archer so I’ll grab kneeling shot. :slight_smile:

#12

OP is asking about mouse mode not keyboard mode. In mouse mode to change targets you merely mouse over the new target, no clicking needed. Also lock target is always on in mouse mode.

#14

You just need to assign auto attack a key to use it in mouse mode.

#15

But keyboard key has less efficiency than mouse key when the game gets laggy in some case.

Really?! I’ll give this a shot, thank you!
