Mouse Controls & Targetting Feedback

Greetings! I am here to give feedback about some minor annoyances that really, really bugs me.

Firstly, I wasn't able to see any option that would stop me from targetting my friends. Friendlies should be ignored, and enemies should be targetted, at least there should be an option for this in my opinion.

Secondly, shift-clicking with a melee character is painful. Because your character won't be attacking anything in that general direction, often requiring you to target whatever you want to attack directly. I don't know, I am used to shift-click a lot, and often I find myself attacking thin air instead of the mob next to me.

Also, in Diablo 2, while shift-clicking, your melee character would attack the enemies close to the cursor first, then turning to other enemies within range. As I've said, you often/always need to target whatever you need to attack, making shift-click for single-target skills (and default attack) painful to execute.

And you cannot keep pressing M1 to move & attack; what I mean is, if you are moving, you'll need to stop pressing M1 in order to acquire target to attack, and after it is dead, you'll need to stop pressing it again to acquire another. I understand the need for target lock, but if your target is dead, game should acquire another target without the need to stop pressing M1 in my opinion.

And lastly, can we rebind M1/M2/MMB? I put useless skills or nothing on my middle mouse button, due to how hard it is for me to press it (well, compared to thumb mouse button that is). I hope in the future we will be able to rebind those 3 skills that are bound to mouse.

Agreed with every point here.

This is why I do not play a melee character in PoE, even though I've basically been the equivalent of a Barbarian in every single hack'n'slash ARPG I've played since Diablo 2.

i agree, 100%. this needs to be fixed now, because of this im forced to use aoe melee attacks like groundslam and sweep, i cant go out of town with frenzy and 2 melee weapons hoping to kill swarms of enemies like i did in d2 it just isnt viable and it ruins an aspect of the game, please dont leave this sitting here, this is probably the best change that you can make to poe.
