Trouble targeting with Mind Control's Levitate

[rolandgrey]

So, attacks auto-target the nearest enemy.  Usually, this continues to happen after an enemy has been defeated.  With Mind Control's Levitate, this does not seem to be the case.  Upon defeating an enemy, if I use Levitate as my next attack in my chain, it does not select the nearest enemy, instead keeping the defeated enemy targeted.

I can concur. This is still happening on my Controller with the Mind Control set.

according to City of Data levitate...

• Entities Affected
  Foe (Alive), Foe (Dead)
• Entities Autohit
  Foe (Dead)

so this looks like it is built in for reasons... probably in relation to the synergy with telekinesis?

This is indeed the reason.

Yea, this is confusing but intended behavior.

If the dead target is the main target of your Telekinesis, then you can use Levitate on them (even when they are defeated) in order to Mass Levitate all the targets within TKs grasp.
