Increase backpedal speed when locked on or in standard type movement

[Lunoc]

Not being able to back off quickly without moving the camera seems like an unnecessary penalty now that auto attacking no longer requires you to be facing your target.

this is mostly an aesthetics/visual gripe, but I just think quickly back-stepping out of a radial AoE while keeping your eyes focused on your target would look much cooler than turning tail and running all the time, especially as BRD/MCH.

As a side note, I normally just use Legacy Type movement, but sometimes the way the camera moves around makes me a bit dizzy so the more stable standard type camera would be great if using it didn't have so many disadvantages. Plus the strafe/back-step animations are just so cool and it's a shame that I don't get to see them very often on my own character with the way I normally play.

also for what it's worth, I'm a gamepad user.

I wouldn't mind a change like this. I play on PS4 and I've died to mechanics several times in many fights because I accidentally pressed the lock on button without meaning to.

Edit: welcome to the forums, btw :3

I'd love this. I feel like I'm being punished for liking my camera to only move manually. I've mastered the right click turn and strafe out of aoes, but it'd be so much nicer if I could just hit backward and run out. I mean, honestly, is there even any benefit to slowly backing away versus running away?
