Monks, Legacy Type Controls and Auto Attack

[Naryoril]

I'm not sure how it is on ps3, but if you are playing on the pc, why can't you just hold on right mouse button and then strafe out of aoes by hitting 'a' or 'd'? It's very simple to do and if you are losing out a lot on your auto attacks the other way, then you are losing a lot of dps. Maybe try getting used to the other way?

That's what i do, but this way you lose a bit of time turning the camera and/or you don't take the shortest way out of the AoE. But i think it's still preferable to losing out on the damage.

With legacy controls you just need to press S and you take the shortest way out of the AoE immediately (assuming it's an AoE based on the boss), thus it's easier to avoid the AoE.
