    Ultimately this suggestion isn't about which one is better, it's about preference, as all User Interface settings are about.
    You don't need to move in an arc to move around a mob as melee, since the hitboxes don't have collision and your personal facing doesn't matter. It's actually more inefficient to do so since a straight line is more efficient and at the extreme it's entirely possible to do positionals with minimal movement via tiny little side steps back and forth at the transition. The addition of backward movement being hamstrung is an even bigger downside to it, though.

    Oh, and I think this option exists in a form by keeping Legacy movement enabled and locking onto your target. I forget which keystroke does this, however, since I never use it. I occasionally accidentally lock onto the summoning bell and it takes me a while to figure out how to unlock from it.
