Definition:Combat targeting

Combat targeting falls into two main categories:

• A tab-targeted ability is something that must have a target for in order to utilize the skill.
• An action skill is anything that can be utilized through placement of the player, such as a reticle, a ground template or a directional placement.

I would consider any placeable template as more action than tab. So a tab targeted ability is something that you must have a target for so in order to utilize the skill. You must have a target for the skill. That's I believe what a tab target definition is. An action, where that skill is anything that can be utilized through placement of the player, whether that be placement on a reticle placement on a ground template, a directional placement - those I consider skill-based action skills. – Steven Sharif
