So all you have to do is hit it, avoid the gaze attack, then hit a skill shot (straighter arrow) and ur facing the right way again. I do this a lot. so maybe ppl just arnt used to using all the keybinds. but I have never encounted issues with what your describing.

Ok what the Live Letter answer says is that Face Target is INACCESSIBLE while MOVING. So yes as it works RIGHT NOW when you hit a skill no matter if you're moving or not you will turn and face target and said skill will hit. By saying Face Target is INACCESSIBLE while MOVING depending on what this exactly refers to, COULD mean that if you're on the run or dodging an ability that hitting said skill will NOT make you turn and Face Target and then said skill would NOT hit. But again that's why I want clarification. Because the command /facetarget or the keybind "F" to facetarget IS infact a different thing. I can have the game setting Face Target on and never touch the command one.

You keep referring to turning away to avoid gazes and such. That is not relevant to my concern. I actually see nothing in these changes that would effect how I turn around to avoid gaze type moves or even something like blighted bouquet. My concern is only with their comment about INACCESSIBLE while MOVING.

You talk about autofacetarget not the facetarget option. Here what the dev team want to fix because this was abused in some kinda of stuff like pvp but also in pve since you could block etc. while running away.



its more clear if you click faster or let keyboard do that for you

thats not how time bombs work.

This has no real effect on me, and I play MCH, BLM, and WAR. The only time a gaze attack hits me is if I don't notice it, and I just use the lock-on feature (L3 on controller, I think) to maintain auto-attacks and Raw Intuition. If anything, this will make my life much easier since I'll no longer need to use lock-on.

Or you can just.. make a keyring for sheath.

I love when PVP changes affect PVE. It's my favorite.

Anyway, everyone plays a little different, and this change looks like it will affect me at least a little. Going to check out the keybind section because I evidently missed a keybind that will turn you away from a mob.

I doubt the AA will have an issue with Gaze moves while looking away.

It is probably more like Blighted Bouquet and turning away from the boss to prevent AA will no longer work
