Idea: Group Leader can pinpoint enemies...

KingDuncanVII

This would allow the Group Leader (GL) to pinpoint a target so that all players in the group can see which enemy the GL has pinpointed. This will help in both PvE and PvP as GLs will be able to pinpoint an enemy of importance (i.e. Healers, Bosses, or any other tough enemy) and the group members will be able to focus their attention on the focused target. The pinpointed (or focused) enemy should have some clear visual glow or beam of light (similar to a Nightblade's Mark Target or the glow you see when you pick up a Scroll in Cyrodiil) that tells the group, this is the person the Group Leader is worried about.

The pinpoint should go away if the marked target either goes into stealth, invisibility, or gets 30 Meters away from GL. So, basically, GL can pinpoint an enemy only if they are visible and within a 30 Meter range of the GL. The pinpoint (or focus) can only be used on one enemy at a time and lasts as long as the enemy is within 30 Meters of GL. Also, the enemy would be alerted that he or she has been pinpointed.

What do you think?

Interesting idea, sounds something better in an FPS sorry.
Yes i know that there are marked targets in Wow and SWtor but it just doesn't seem right to me in this
just my two cents

Well there is already a skill in game that marks targets, I don't know what it's called though, but either way I think this is a good idea. Don't see any reason why not.

its an interesting idea but you kinda said it you could group up with a NB and have the same result designate one NB in your pre made group to be a target marker. to seek out priority targets and point them out with mark target. however this would be harder in pug dungeons. but I like the idea

It's called Mark Target. It's a Nightblade ability. But only the NB that cast it can see the Mark. And it does more than just mark. What I proposed is more for teamwork.

It was my understanding that only Nightblades can see the targets they mark, now.

That sounds like a wonderful idea. It could be as simple as adjusting tab target to make a red outline and use control + tab for the group leader. You could take it a step further and make it an option for every single player in the group to mark a single target and give an option in the ui settings to turn it off.

I think everyone being able to mark would cause more disorganization than effective teamwork, in my opinion.

I think there needs to be a over haul on the way raids are handled. Marking targets needs to be a thing like maybe put a target on people that the RL can do. And i feel like The RL should have Assistant Raid Leader to help with group invites and the such. (i know there's auto invite addon exists)
