Which is very different from facing a specific direction when casting stuff. That sort of thing doesn't play well with having to move around to avoid things, which I hope we continue to get more of as the game grows and ages. I may concede if the developers are planning to add strafing, but even then I'd have a hard time seeing it be useful. It just sounds like a horrible gimmick.
