ESO need strict targeting system

And ignore untargeted enemy.

Or need "dithering shader" to hide too much short rage big sized enemy in front of player.

When I'm in Vateshran Hollows, I tend to lost important target like the "lethal tether" by big sized enemy.
When I'm in dungeon as tank, somebody use "Maw of the Infernal set", and that disgusting Deadroth take my front view.

This is really bad visual design. It always annoys me. Please do something.

Once I taunt 8 amount of Deadroth at the last boss of BC2 for HM.
I couldn't see any of my team people's situation. Because 8 Deadroth
kept surrounding me, and hide every my view in front of me.

Increase your FOV and raise your camera. I have my FOV on max but it logs in not fully zoomed out, so I can zoom out further if needed.

Tab targeting is broken though. I wish ZOS would fix but I think theres not enough people to complain about it.

"Increase your FOV and raise your camera."

Agree. it's a best method.
But, I don't want to lost my character model's detail.

It's been a major problem with targetable pets randomly eating attacks in PvP for a decade now.

FOV will not fix the targeting because time and time again I have been ready to start a battle at anytime only to have an insect that is 45-90 degrees take my first shot. I can be looking straight at the target and hit something else left or right, this has happened to me numerous times in the past year. Has anyone wasted an Ultimate yet on an insect?

This just isn't part of ESO's game structure. Like healing .... they go to whoever, even when people in your group, might need them more.

There're two major problem of targeting system in the ESO.

1. If we got big sized enemy cluster, then always lost front view sight.

2. And usually in those situation, we can't aim proper target what we want to attack.

Had more once, it was an pug, low dps and the DD thought that killing any Deadroth would disable HM so ran around then I released exec ones to I had to agro them and get them back at spawn point.
Used AoE damage to keep them agro me.

I've actually found that lately it's a bit too strict. For example, if I tab target a cycle boss in archive and turn around to attack a goblin that just spawned, my attacks will keep targeting the boss. Seeing crushing shocks do a 180 and go straight behind me isn't unusual. This can get pretty annoying if you need to switch targets to something with a very small (or narrow) hit box like some totems. You basically need to tab target the new enemy to be able to attack it, but the small hit box makes it so your aim has to be perfect or it won't change. The fact that you can barely see the outline change when there's 10+ flashy effects going on makes it even harder.

I think I remember being able to tab target one enemy in the past, but temporarily attack a different one by changing my aim if the angle between the two targets was about 45° or more.

When standing in front of a bigger enemy losing sight of everything behind him seems normal to me. Imagine, targeting through him would appear as you were able to shoot around corners. You are not an NPC ☝️

They definitely need to work on the tab targeting system. When you lock onto a player in PvP your single target attacks should never focus anyone else. It was always annoying fighting someone that knows how to kite that dwemer Engine Guardian monster set and it taking the damage from half your burst.

Do you know how many rodents I've dropped an ultimate on?? So many, even Stuga's mind would boggle! Then I also have the added bonus of Bastian yelling at me.

Targeting really sucks.

Don't remind me... Never been there after IR and a full stickerbook, being the offtank is NOT fun there.

Mostly don't need it. But, aiming mechanics of ESO is automatic.
So, some specific situation makes inconvenient.

I would much rather have tab target than action combat but as long as it’s customizable and can be turned off or on within the settings it would be a good change. Everybody benefits.
