So no buff till 2.3... how about a compromise to tide us over?

you can press the "F" key. it won't interrupt the cast

it doesn't work 100% of the time.
And sometimes you have to spam it and it still has chances to miss... On second thoughts, it sounds like a bandaid to the flawed design.

And as the "face-target" mode. It fixes one problem but raises another problem - which it hinders the movement when trying to run away from the target, instead, it forces us to walk.
In short, they promote lousy designs.
