Call Target 1, Target 2...

Ok, i'm playing PvE solo (this apply not only for solo), I call a target (press ctrl+space), when the foe dies, I have to look around for the second target i had in mind to attack, click on him, atack (or call target again).

Wouldn't be simple if I can call multiple calls? The same character can call Target 1, Target 2, Target 3... Like army organization in RTS games (see Age of Empires and others). I press Ctrl+1 for army 01, Ctrl+2 for army 02. When I want to call for that army, just press number 2 and I will have that army selected. Same for this new call system.

When we are playing with 2 or more players. We can divide 2 mini groups to act separatedly and calling targets individualy. The first team, can use Targets 1, and team 2, can use Target 2. With the call target system that we have now, I frequently go atacking to other teams target. =/

the shortcut don't need to be ctrl+1 like RTS, can be shift+1, shift+2... And to follow target, press F1 por target 1, F2 for target 2. Just an ideia.

anyway.

You can just hit the "C" key and you'll select the next closest target. Simply [TAB] quickly if you think there may be a better target available.

C -> Control-Space spamming ftw! (As long as only one charcter does it, lol)

this seems like an interesting idea but it needs work.... really it could be very helpful

interesting....
But in PvE, wouldn't you rather consider all of the enemies equally dangerous? And also wouldn't they die out fast to the point where the Ctrl + number isn't really worth it?

If you have time to assign shortcuts to targets, you're killing too slowly.

There are some rare exceptions, but if you're playing with heroes, they know how to prioritize. Just select the first target, usually the healer or caster, then they'll work it out on their own. In many cases much more optimally than player can select them.
