i love this game, had it since day 1 early access release and have left t alone for a while so to keep it fresh when 1.0 releases. Anyway, i couldn’t see much in the forum about this… i have always played with joypad but recently picked poe2 back up and wanted to see what it was like playing with m&k. I liked it so i came back to nrftw and tried it. Now, i know the game is designed for controller but that has a couple of flaws in it but i really liked m&k movement and combat in nrftw, i actually prefer not having auto target selected as combat with m&k feels much better except for runes that fire projectiles. If auto target is not selected the rune does not fire towards the mouse pointer. eg.. lord of the muck wand: rune 1 plague dart just fires randomly in a rough sort of diection where the character is facing (sometimes not even that) yet rune 2 plague smite drops exactly where you want it. Having watched the recent wicked inside showcase and how the lighting feature of dragoon works - i think this problem needs addressin and have the projectiles aim exactly where the mouse is pointing. thanks ---
