Locking on to a target

[Legacy_Wolfwood]

its good for phys dps as when they move left and right to dodge so they are always facing the target. they will continue the auto attacks instead of having no auto attacks while running around un locked on target.

otherwise, i disable this feature on my controller as i main heals, and sometimes auto locking gets me in trouble lol

Is this really necessary for auto attacks to continue? I have been leveling pugilist lately and never use target lock, and while moving between rear/flank positions for the damage bonus, I see myself doing auto attacks even when I am sideways to the target. I am on PS4 btw.
