Disable Auto Aim - PC

Playing on the PC why cant i have the option to disable auto aim

Its one of the worst things playing as a fireball witch she will often stay focussed on a single behind me when i need it to focus on mobs wheere i am running to, Im not saying get rid of it as i understand for consoles its required, but for love of god allow us to disable it on PC as it makes running around a nightmare and having to roll to try and break the target lock

Auto aim is especially crazy on archer fighting Act 2 titan boss. Half of shots you simply miss, another half it aims at his hands. Weird.

I very much would like a target lock, and switch mechanic. Playing with controller (PC) it gets really tricky when you're trying to move around and you just keep shooting the direction you're moving in, even if there aren't any enemies there. Sometimes I'm even highlighting an enemy and the frost bomb just goes on the other end of the room. I get why that happens, because it's a placeable object you can adjust where you want it, but with a controller it just doesn't work well.
Also putting frost blast or nova on flying frost bolts is basically impossible if you're not standing still and keeping your finger off the moving stick.

It would probably be helpful if you had a marker so you can see exactly where the shot/bomb will end up. Would prevent casting stuff that won't go where it should but instead gets "stuck" at some piece of wall instead.

Aye its why i would be happy and would be a nice middle ground is to have it toggle-able in the option menu - this should be a doddle for any half decent coder:)

Im playing BM Fireball which because of its bounce and split fireballs i dont need to face anyway to kill stuff lol.. especially in the small corridors, so generally just want to run forward and the problem comes im firing away from where im runing and is just bloody awkward :D

You can change your aim+target direction with the 2nd stick (twin stick style) problem is its so clunky you effectively need 3 hands to be able to use left thumb stick right thumb stick and pressing a/b/x/y buttons at the same time. Controller is weirdly WAY better than m&k right now for some skills but its still a miss on the form and functional aspects of the game.

I came back after 2 months and I honestly thought this would have been fixed by now... What the actual fuck...

please just let me disable ALL auto-aim on keyboard+mouse.

yep.
I am playin WASD and mouse on Mercenary and the fricking target lock while keeping LMB pressed is crap.
I want to swipe my shotgun around but no, some mob gets locked on and breaks my tempo.

as an additional rant

Why the hell is my character stopping the slaughter just because some shit drop item happened to spawn in the place my cursor was for a 0,03 second when i pressed LMB? i have to release LMB or my char will go to pick that crap up even if i target opposite edge of the screen.

AND THE MOST STUPID THING

BLINK ON MOUSE.

how can it be called some mastery of spacetime when you can not target where you blink?
I get it that to accomodate consles it automatically blinks to max range but how could they fck up what was working great in PoE1?
Target outside of range - blink at max range
target anywhere in range - blink there
