WASD and movement skills/evades

Hey there! I love zooming around in LE using WASD, I find it so much more comfortable and find it hard to look back to mouse movement. But what really grinds my gears with WASD are the inconsistencies of using movement and traversal abilities. Some use mouse to direct, some use WASD. I know there is an option to have everything move with mouse, but then Evade will also use mouse. What I’d like is to set key for each ability targetting separately (like Evade - WASD, Shift - Mouse, Smoke bomb - WASD, Aerial Assault - Mouse).

Literally was about to post about this having come back after a break. I want to be able to dodge with WASD and determine movement & traversal skills manually, as most I’ll want to follow mouse. Rogue feels super bad right now with how often I bring Shift into my rotation, either I can have it follow mouse but then dodge is mouse, or it follows wasd so that dodge follows wasd. At minimum, a “Only Dodge Follows WASD” addition would be great.

I really hope LE gets WASD working the way it should, cuz it feels great on PoE2 (which I’ve long since decided I’m waiting on retail release). Dodge on WASD and all attacks/movement/traversals on mouse is a necessary QOL option.

100% this. Dodge always WASD and abilities Mouse would be a great option

I literally posted this a while ago, seems just the right and natural thing to do. I’m hoping this is being added next patch cause one of the devs replied to my reddit post about this.

This has been requested often (still lots of open threads about this). They did release WASD as a beta feature. And even so they made quite a few improvements in the first few weeks.
So I expect they’ll keep improving it.

They didn’t listen to the feedback of their former CT testers who already said that WASD is undercooked and need some time. IIRC they call it beta or experiomental for a reason :smiley: .
