Thanks for the quick responses guys. Yeah I guess its always been this way. Seems pretty wonky the way SoE has it set up to not display the implied target under certain conditions. like NPCs for example :
And it will display implied targets out of group, for instance go to lavastorm and target any player attacking a void beast and target the mob, the implied target window will display the player character. However if you do it the other way around, target the player, it will not show the implied target(the mob).
