AutoFace Target

[Djeserit]

I still agree the auto facing is a bad mechanic. I have a few instant cast spells and I love cast them while running. Except lets say Ifrit is starting a plume and I click that instant cast. So instead of casting and running to safety I am now charging in to my death. Of course that means the best course is to unclick that auto facing... which means you cannot cast at all. Which in turn results in turning back on.

That brings us back to the point of the OP. Why have the feature to turn it off, when if you turn it off you are unable to do anything?

Autoface + Legacy controls doesn't have this issue. I had the same problem on SCH when i first hit 50. Changed to legacy movement and not had a problem since.

I've been using legacy controls since the start because i just can not stand the default and am too used to 1.0. I am just perplexed as to why this mechanic is in the game and why you have to /facetarget to do anything that is targeted. I can understand, for melee classes, needing to face the general direction of the target, but the idea that you can not reliably face the target as far as the game is concerned without using /facetarget for EVERY command is just silly. If i am within 45º of the target i think i should be able to execute a command or swing a weapon.

I don't have this problem with face target.
maybe because I play with controller
