Brackets around an enemy in combat?

stridefar · January 2015

Sorry for such a basic question but I can't find the answer.

From time to time when in combat my enemy is suddenly surrounded by 4 brackets, much like a camera focus. What is the purpose of this bracket?

Thanks.

I think that's what the 'target change' button in settings is for. I believe its shift by default? To target who you are attacking?

It could also be the "Cursor Mode" which you get by pressing the "." button I think. I have no idea what Cursor Mode is for, but that could be what it is too.

Maybe Cursor Mode is that Target Change that @MissBizz is referring to

pressing tab will lock onto your current target, making it easier to aim spells and ranged attacks at that target amidst a group of enemies.

Lynx got it right! Cursor mode is so you can use your mouse to click on ui elements

Thanks everyone for the help. Lynx is definitely right and I can think of a number of times when bad guys were too close together and I had a lot of difficulty getting the aim point to hit the right target. I use "." all the time to go to curser mode.

Good hunting.
