Switching targets - Builds, Talents and Class Mechanics - Hunter Forums

I have a macro set up to apply hunters mark and start attack on my focus target (tanks target). When I want to switch targets and pick up adds is there a button that allows me to cycle through the mobs and select one to attack or do I need to mouse click on the next target to attack? It seems easy enough to just mouse click on my next target but with all the chaos going on on my screen it's sometimes hard to pick up where my mouse pointer is and when mobs are grouped close together it's tough to mark a particular mob to attack.

The <tab> key will select the closest mob but not always the one I need to target.

Thank you

Playing with nameplates off, is not an option for me anymore, thus I need to be aware of specific adds' health status in many occasions, whether in a HC dungeon or a raid, or PvP situations.

Or sometimes I need to pick a specific target manually and swiftly by clicking its nameplate(like the chains at first boss of blackrock caverns) . When spamming tab sometimes you spam too quickly and miss the intended target and you have to spam several times more to re-pick it and waste critical time. You may end up breaking CC by mistake when using tab spam also.

If I'm firing at will, I use tab to fire free explosive shots in quick succession on different random targets, in between the multi shots.

If not using AoE, I simply continue clicking the shots and let the auto targeting handle it.

The addon called Virtualplates used to show the nameplates with different size in relation to their proximity, adding them the 3rd dimention, which made it way less confusing than it is now, but unfortunately, currently some aspects of the nameplate codes can't be altered via any addon, which made this awesome addon unusable.
