Tab targeting has been silently removed...

[Daldaen]

It’s important to distinctly describe the four methods of keyboard targetting NPCs.

F8 - Target Nearest - This is classic and will target the first NPC entity directly ahead of your characters current bearing.

Tab - Swap Target - This is classic and will swap between targeting yourself and your last non-self target. It’s very useful to keep tabs on a tank not in your group on raids or to keep track of a charmed pet or an NPC during an escort part of a quest.

/target name - Type Target - Unsure on classicness but it exists here and allows you to Target an NPC or PC near you by typing out all or part of the name of the NPC. Previously you could target with NPC ID numbers to identify placeholders but I believe they nerfed that properly but you should still be able to /Target Lord_Nagafen.

Cycle Target - This is confirmed not classic and allowed you to cycle between NPCs 1-10 and then start over at 1 again. This makes many game functions like Crowd Control and DS powerleveling extremely trivial as you can seemlessly target every mob in a crowd one by one without getting the same target twice. It is good they remove this because with it in there is a lot of power gained by CC classes that they should not have by being able to quickly lock down a big train. You should need to fumble with your mouse or continually reposition yourself and try F8 to get a proper Target.

If Tab Targeting was indeed removed it should be reinstated. But it sounds like they removed Cycle targetting which is Classic and a good fix.
