Monks, Legacy Type Controls and Auto Attack

[Bayke]

I posted about this same issue hoping for some quality of life changes with the legacy setting for ps3/gamepad players. I found a solution although it's a little excessive, all you have to do is macro EVERY attack like so: /macroicon /facetarget /ac "insertskill". Doing this will allow you to queue up your next attacks while moving between flank/rear etc and still facing the target doing auto attacks. So if you do Bootshine+truestrike+snappunch just rapidly tap the next skills in that order even when they are on cooldown and you will keep facing the target. They could fix this by making you face your target when tapping skills on cooldowns but they only face your target AFTER* the skill has been used. I recommend anyone using a gamepad to give that macro setup a try.

Sorry for necro but, thank you so much Bayke, That's the only acceptable solution i found to this problem.

The problem with that macro is that it ultimately leads into a DPS loss due to the GC skills not getting queued anymore.
