It defiantly opens up playstyles and builds that would normally be harder to play on a controller, thank you for commenting.

I appreciate that and I am glad you found it informative. When I first started using it I found it most helpful on bosses, as you have the time to set it up and play around with it and you don't care as much about the adds, and as I got better with it used it in more situations. Good gaming.

Thank you, they are some great options if your on a controller.

My pleasure glad it was helpful. Thank you for confirming it was a bug, and filling out the bug report. I probably should have but I had never used that set of options until I made the video and after a bit wasn't sure if it was bugged or my brain was. I went over liked and replied to the post.

@@Matches44 no problem, Yeah I was ready to set up my Controls just like Diablo 3, with the left trigger to lock target, it was almost perfect, until I realized this bug. As soon as they fix this issue, ranged characters will be a lot more enjoyable for me.

@@TonyMezaXD I am pretty happy with the toggle target lock, but I would like to try the hold lock as intended and see what I think. Hopefully it is fixed quickly.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I tried so hard to make mouse and keyboard work for me since I'm playing a ranged character as my alt, but after playing controller barbarian for my first playthrough, click to move feels incredibly stupid and outdated. I know it's a skill issue and I just don't care, controller is more intuitive for me here hahah.

My pleasure!

It does have that feeling that they didn't update or modernize the M&KB controls and spent that time making sure that the controller felt and played really well, I am sure consoles played into that.

True, some skills and builds are just not viable on the controller. Thank you for commenting and good gaming.

Sorry was AFK for a bit. There is no in game option like that for controller, there might be some work arounds if your on PC but they might be time consuming and not work that well in the end.

With the target lock system there is no way, that I know of, to target an unoccupied location. If it casts similar to other abilities you could cast it between two mobs with target lock off, not sure with what reliability because the auto aim will kick in if it is too close to the mob, and behind might not be possible at all, as I think the auto aim will always take over and place it on the mob. Definitely a limitation of the current controller control scheme in Diablo IV, and a win for mouse and keyboard. I hope you figure out what works for you and good gaming.

@@Matches44 Some skills, like bonespear, will travel it's full length through enemies and so if you target a close minion it's not so bad (although still not optimal). Other skills are cast only at targets. So think about the classic fireball. You cast it on a minion who's close to you (which is naturally at an edge of a mob pack), so the AOE effects only half the pack (roughly speaking). If you could target an empty space, you could cast that fireball in the middle of a pack and have it be MUCH more effect on average. This is impossible and this makes controller very bad when optimal play is required (i.e. endgame).

I know exactly what you mean, it is also a similar issue with teleport for example. The controller has pros and cons, one of those cons is it can limit playstyle, I have had comments that certain builds play as good or better on a controller. I have been having fun playing sorc on a controller but if you want to min/max the game at a pro level, yeah I would say use a M&KB. I personally haven't found the DIablo IV endgame very engaging or rewarding, mostly just a grind, so I'm looking forward to season 1.
