I have been out hunting several times tonight after just getting Master Rifleman and I have noticed a bug in the AOE targetting several times. The problem I have had is when attacking a lair with a AOE (any of them) and the mob comes in and starts attacking melee. Suddenly, the target outline on the base will switch to the color that it is not selected and the mob will be selected (though I'm still viewing the lair's damage bar as if that is targeted.) Any shots after that do no damage to the mob or the lair. If I target the mob, it's damage bar is displayed but the lair shows the color of my current target. At that point, if I use any special itwill damage the lair. If I target the lair, the active target will switch again and I can attack the mob. Basically, to hit the lair I target any melee mobs and to hit the mobs, I have to target the lair.
Has anyone else seen this?

Yep, exact same problem I was having yesterday. Even clearing the combat queue didn't stop it happening. At one point my toon just sat there shooting Strafe2 for all he was worth and no matter what I did he wouldn't stop! I even relogged and he was still shooting Strafe2 at the lair although there was nothing in the combat queue!
Eventually I had the sense to try another special and it seemed to clear it up. Major bug here Devs!

Strafe 2 has been really flaky lately since the addition of the supression fire animation to strafe 2. The AOE has been acting wierd (hitting lots doing no damage) has problems changing targets, seems to lock onto lairs and not allow shots on anything else.
