Please revert the change that came with Patch 1.2.3: “Fixed an issue where players could use Warpath without moving when using WASD.”
Maybe it was a bug and unintended, but being able to stop moving while still using warpath was a way comfier playstyle. I’d legit take any other nerf such as aoe or dps rather than a fundamental change to the gameplay behaviour. The only effect this change has is making it less fun to play warpath imo.
That would force players to use WASD if they wanted to use warpath, though, which is not a good policy.
Yeah, but it’s to the intended playstyle… otherwise, they would just remove the “movement” tag from the skill…
There’s no other movement skill you can use while standing still, so it shouldn’t be different for Warpath… Especially not when this works only for a specific controlling method.
Or you know, use Shift to attack in place if you are using mouse. Theres no good reason why Warpath has to be a worse Whirlwind / Cyclone when other ARPG has the same skill which is exactly where this was taken from.
Other ARPGs with this skill also don’t let you stand still. They always follow the mouse, meaning there are always at least miniscule movements happening.
Apart from PoE & TBH, it’s been too long since I played D3/4 to say whether you can spin while stationery there.
AFAIK, in PoE cyclone it still follows the mouse, same as in LE. You can try to aim at where the character is, but it will always move slightly.
The movement scaling feels better in PoE, you don’t have to get quite as close to the character for movement to essentially stop.
That’s fair, but also a different issue. Also related to the “moonwalk” bug.
Personally, I want my warpath to moonwalk all the time. Maybe an MTX for it? 
I agree with this. Warpath feels unplayable to me with this change. I am new to the game this season, but the change to warpath feels unintuitive to me and has ruined my motivation to play.
I have to agree - Warpath feels horrible with WASD now. The reason that you should move all the time, feels really weak to me, especially because you can come really close to not moving at all when using the mouse.
The main problem with WASD movement is that it only operates at full force - when you press, say, W, your character spins northward at full speed and continues in that direction even after you release the key. This makes fighting enemies in place, especially bosses, really obnoxious because you have to literally spam WASD to essentially be able to stay somewhat stationary.
This completely ruined my motivation to continue playing, since I don’t want to switch to a mouse-based playstyle.
