20 seconds? Thats really obscene. I dont know what your doing wrong, but I have abosolutely no issues with it at all and I play with a gamepad as well.

The only thing i can think of is you play with your camera zoomed in way to far making it hard to angle it on things farther away. As you progress in the game, you will need to zoom out to see more of the battlefield for lots of reasons.

I really like the camera aim just the way it is. Most of the suggestions in this thread would change the position of the camera automatically and i dont want that at all. Im fine with an 'option' either with a toggle function or a different command to target under the current mob, but dont mess with the camera aiming. I frequently DONT want it centered on the mob im fighting.
