Targeting
|
The hitboxes are so much different that to poe1, and due to that jumping backwards or locking on to targets is very common. That and many skills are targeted in funky ways, but that also probably has something to so with the huge hitboxes and targeted combat locking.
Need a way to ALWAYS aim towards cursor instead of the target if you are hovered, maybe skill specific like the "always attack without moving" setting. Targeting skills specificly feels a little weird, like you just dont have control of the specifics like in poe1. The Molten Burst skill goes up walls sometimes and I imagine all projectiles kinda work like that and can have very bad offsets. Last bumped on Jun 14, 2025, 1:51:35 PM

Agreed and I believe Rogers mentioned the feedback in a dev interview. It's very frustrating to target a monster and your spell/skill lands next to them. Or your spell/skill when not targeting is cast @ chest-height when ground makes more sense (or vice-versa). I am glad to hear they are aware there is an issue. I am just concerned it is low priority or they will fix it wrong/poorly.
Hopefully they do it justice on a case-by-case basis. |

Anyone who doubts the OP, just roll up a Witch and go till say... Level 30. Corpses, items, enemies, environmental stuff all getting wonky with targeting.
Don't get me wrong, I love my witch!! But its rough sometimes. I've done all the classes now and the worst by far has been Witch for targeting. The other classes will get you killed or messed up plenty often, but Witch is the ultra for junk targeting :P +1 |

try any class you try to use shield charge or any other kind of
skill like it, because that gets on my nerves so bad trying to hit a mob or mobs. i mean I am either really really good at dodging mobs or something is wrong with the skills lol because i was trying to rush about 3 or 4 mobs and run right through them missed every lousy 1 of them, then i try to not touch the targeting joystick cause i use controller i target mob and hit skill my toon turns and runs opposite direction. i can be standing right in front of boss, and yes i make sure my targeting icon is on so as to focus on the boss or mob and still manage to run around the boss maybe a couple times rofl. |

" lmao I had so many issues with shield charge just peeling off in the wrong direction and avoiding mobs entirely. |
