Controller Targeting: Allies (Huck) Stealing Focus

Controller Targeting – Allies (Huck) Stealing Focus

I'm playing on PC with an Xbox controller. When farming Rogue Exiles with Huck as my bodyguard, I keep running into a frustrating issue:

  • While fighting an exile, my targeting focus often snaps to Huck instead of the enemy.
  • This causes me to lose sight of the exile’s health bar and makes my attacks feel blind.
  • Since I'm using Smite, I like to visually monitor enemy HP while attacking, but Huck constantly interrupts target lock.


I don’t consider this a bug — the system is technically working as designed — but it’s a major QoL problem for controller users.

Please add an option (or default behavior) so that allied NPCs/companions are ignored by controller auto-targeting.
At minimum, give us a toggle to exclude allies from valid targets so focus stays on enemies.

This would make mapping with Huck (or other allies) feel much smoother and let us keep HP bars visible on actual enemies.

Thanks for considering a small change that would have a big impact for controller players.
