Targeters are used to determine what a skill targets when it is fired.
Targeters are always required (or the mob won't know what it is
attacking), and forgetting a targeter is probably one of the most common
mistakes people new to MythicMobs make.
While targeters are technically optional (as the default targeter will usually be @trigger), forgetting a targeter is probably one of the most common mistakes people who are new to MythicMobs make.
If a targeter is used with a meta skill, then all of the skills inside
of the meta skill inherit the parent targeter. It is important to keep
that in mind as excessive targeter use is a common cause of poor server
performance. Of course, you can overwrite the parent targeter for
individual skills inside of the meta skill by giving them their own
targeter to use, and there are even a few targeters that work
specifically off of inherited targets.
Targeters can be as complex or as simple as you want them!
When a targeter is used on the Skill mechanic, all of the skills inside of the meta-skill inherit the initial targeter. You can still overwrite the parent targeter for individual mechanics inside of the meta-skill by giving them their own targeter to use.

Laser:
Skills:
- ignite @line{r=1}
- ignite @EntitiesInLine{r=1}
In the example skill above, the "ignite" mechanic will target entities between the caster and the targeter specified in `- skill{s=Laser} @target`, i.e. a line between the caster and the caster's target.
In the mobs skill, the target specified there is the end point that the
meta-targeter uses.
Some meta-targeters also allow the mechanic to be casted "fromOrigin". This will change the starting location of the meta-targeter to be @Origin rather than the caster, which can allow for some complex effects, particularly when used with Projectiles.
