Greetings!

So, if you look at Control Options at the Targeting keys you will see this..

Targeting: Ally - Nearest
Targeting: Foe - Nearest
Targeting: Foe - Next
Targeting: Foe - Previous

Now, why isn't there a "Ally - Next" and "Ally - Previous" shortcut key?

To me, these missing shortcut keys could make a few builds easier an more efficient.

Necro MM and Bomber:

The necromancer have multiple skills that require the targeting of undead minions. A few examples are Jagged Bones and Death Nova. But targeting your minions have been a problem since the launch of Guild Wars. In the heat of battle you mostly miss click on enemy or allies in the attempt to select your minion.

If a "Ally - Next" shortcut is added selecting minions could be easier and faster.. allowing the player to cycle through his minions looking for the ones thats either low on health or meets a certain condition.

Ritualist Spirits:

This shortcut could also be useful for ritualist spirit selection. Examples of using assassin teleporting spells that target spirits, moving spirits to your location and spells that require a spirit to be targeted.

This would be very useful, especially for ritualists, necros and monks.

i've not used many of the skills that say targetted minion becuase i know how difficult it is to quickly mouse target on the battle field. Time is too precious to be clicking 5 or 6 times in a mob to get the right guy.
