Monks, Legacy Type Controls and Auto Attack

[GhibliTheSW]

Not sure why you encountered that problem, but I seemed not to have it. No matter which type of movement I use, Camera-based or Character-based, my Auto-Attacks still go off normally.
Are you sure that you were standing in the AA range? Because the AA range is actually much shorter than the actual "melee-range".

i have also notice that , that 's why i keybinded " the lock camera on target" feature .
with that when i need to focus a mob i just have to press on it , and when i need to avoid an aoe i repress on it to disable the actual view => problem solved .

Default lock-on is 5 on the num pad. If you use that while changing positions it should keep you facing the target at all times. Not sure if it was said already so sorry if it was.

I'm playing monk and i'd like to use legacy type controls, since it makes avoiding AoEs easier. But if i switch to legacy controls i won't auto attack the monster while circling around it. I noticed that auto attack only works if you are looking at the monster.

Using standard type controls i use A and D in combination with turning the camera with the right mouse button to circle around an enemy. That way i always look at the monster and auto attacks are performed.

But when using legacy type controls and doing the same, the character doesn't look at the monster and thus doesn't perform auto attacks.

You can try this by attacking some random monster and just cricling around it, not using any skill and watch the auto attacks you do. Yes, you do one from time to time with legacy controls, but not nearly as often as it should be (and is with standard controls).

Does anyone have a solution to this? What do i need to do to mix legacy type controls with auto attacks while moving around an enemy?

I just use Q and E for strafing

Character config: [x] Legcy controls.
Keybinds:
starfe left = A.
Starfe right = D
Preblem? Solved.

For controller, you have to learn to swap between lock-on mode and "not locked-on mode" to get all auto-attacks. Takes a bit of practise but pretty much mandatory in long run in my opnion

I am using legacy controls and i haven't notice i lose autoattacks, at least in fights where i don't force to move far the boss, like Melusine. In dummy, if you use an ability, the char moves to face the target and the autoattack is executed, only you need to click one skill.
