[Bug] "Flames of Midnight" Ring: Spirit Step Ignores Movement Keys, Follows Mouse Pointer

Hello everyone,

I’m having a significant issue with the “Flames of Midnight” legendary celestial ring. When equipped, it replaces the standard evade/roll with “Spirit Step.” However, unlike the normal evade, Spirit Step always follows the mouse pointer instead of the direction set by my movement keys (ZQSD/WASD).

This is causing major problems during combat. For example, when I try to dodge a boss attack by reflexively hitting evade in the direction I’m moving, Spirit Step instead teleports me toward my mouse cursor—sometimes right into danger or even onto the boss itself. This is very different from the default roll/evade behavior, which respects your current movement direction.

It feels like Spirit Step is acting as a targeted skill rather than a true replacement for the evade mechanic.

  • Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

  • Is this intended, or is it a bug?

  • It’s frustrating enough that I’m considering removing the ring, even though it’s my BIS for the build.

Any feedback or fixes would be appreciated! Thanks.
