Target explosive orbs

Did something change? I can hardly target orbs now, esp with TAB. That used to work, but something seems to have changed, on calm keystones discord people were also talking about it. Also had issues targetting them manually. More people have this issue?

As a healer, I usually help when possible, a flameshock here and there does wonders with these orbs, esp when I heal a melee group, I try to take care of the ranged orbs.

Totally agree. +1

Yeah one of the dps in my grp yesterday mentioned aswell he couldnt tab target the orbs.

I’ve had no issues myself but this would explain why so many were exploding and why I’ve been having to step in, even with 2 melee in the group.

Agreed, haven’t seen any changes in the patch notes. It is noticeably more difficult to tab target explosives than previous patch

I use Threat Plates (Tidy Plates formerly) and have a custom-color name plate for explosives, so I just click on the name plate to target them. I found tab-targetting difficult in larger groups and 3+ explosives.

Not only harder to target, but sometimes they aren’t even taking damage from single target attacks. Had a group for +12 Junkyard, and we eventually called it after constantly wiping on last boss, just because of orbs spawning with adds, and not always taking damage. Actually hope they delete the f***ing affix for shadowlands

I cant help but note that most of the time its impossible to click on them when any mobs are close by and even when I do as ranged, they are 9 times out of 10 already destroyed by melee almost rolling face across them.

Its seriously one of the more bs affixes they thought up, seeing as you cant cleave them at all.

Their click box radius is the size of my peepee now & tab doesnt work 90% of the time

So yeah, something has changed, Why? because blizzard

I dont mind explosives ( well before they made the click radius more annoying ) but they could atleast fix the bloody thing & not make it worse like

Was there some people dealing with it too well or something?

It feels like the entire tab-behaviour changed. Even when no explosives are involved it acts quite a bit different. Hard to say how it is different, but it feels very weird.

Yep, definitely a thing. Can confirm it has changed and it’s hard or near impossible to tab to an explosive orb effectively. I’ve had to click on most if not all of them.

Thanks for the tip, trying them out recently, works smooth on my feral druid

Not for explosives, but i was using default

If you want, I can upload my custom configuration. It’s a bit fiddly and you’ll have to edit a text file and replace a portion with the custom settings.

Nah i’l customize it myself

Mostly because i like to have horrible designs on things, i mean this is my UI for fox sake :joy:

It’s not that bad! But the placement of the AP bar … :stuck_out_tongue:

The world quests overlap the map clock, my actionbar is 15% of the freaking screen & the ap bar is on top of it :joy:

These are my settings for explosives, btw: https://imgur.com/Gl22YRE

Same here, except that I’ve added to it that it’s another bar colour and twice the size of the other bars.
