WASD Movement - Allow More options for movement abilities movement tracking

[LouDaCrisp]

I like the addition of this feature, but I find that the customizability for this feature isn’t there right now. Currently, it lumps all short-range abilities together as if they are the same. Almost always, I would like to dodge in the direction I’m moving, but rarely would I want to Shadow Rend (Rogue) or Surge (Spellblade Mage) where I’m moving. I can see the case for Shift (Rogue) going either way.

The ideal solution would be for every movement ability to allow you to choose what to follow, but, in the short term, I’m hoping for a separate tracker for dodge or an option in the existing menu to have only dodge follow movement, as that is the center of frustration with the current system.

WASD - could use more customization for aiming with movement skills

While it’s nice that you have different options for movement skills when using WASD, more customization would be appreciated. It would be great to be able to individually select for each skill whether it follows direction or mouse. Shadow Rend is a great example, because it acts a lot like an attack, it is better to target with mouse for better accuracy. However, you can’t do that without also changing Evade to mouse, which feels unintuitive (especially for ranged attackers). Something you may …

Thanks for this. I tried to search for topics with WASD in the title, but the search prioritizes post from mid-2025

No worries. For future reference, you can just go to advanced search (the small button at the right of the textbox) and sort it by date.

I linked the post because it’s always better for visibility to have one post with many votes than a lot of posts with just a few.
