Hold to target more cumbersome than it needs to be

Hold to target is really cumbersome to use on a controller while you’re trying to run around at the same time making it near impossible to use for some buttons. Ie if I have a curse bound to square then I have to try and hold that down with not my thumb because that’s needed to aim so twisting my hand in some way. It really limits how you can use these. What would make it easier to use square, triangle and x is if the left thumb stick was moving the target along with the character. Stays facing direction of when targeting began, but target is aimed by the direction character is moving in from the left thumb stick.

I would love a target lock for a short distance at least with the option that makes you change target with right stick.

If I run away on controller, it's very difficult to run back wards and cast most buttons at the same time. I have to stop attacking, force turn the character with the right stick, then resume attacking.

I haven't tried WASD but it looks way easier to do.
