Guild Wars 2

Certain skills automatically turn you toward your target. For single target skills that works fine unusally but for skills with AOE cones this is really frustrating. For example, the warrior greatsword 2, warrior sword F1, ranger shortbow 2, etc. They have a cone of damage and I wish there was an easier way to aim them. I get frustrated running into a well clumped pack of enemies and using my skill only to realize I had accidentally targeted a mob right behind me.

This functionality is crucial for certain skills but unfortunate for others. As a Flamethrower engineer I absolutely hate it. As an Elixir Gun engineer, I find it amazingly useful (and much needed for clearing conditions off allies). As a Torch Guardian, I wish the weapon had this functionality for clearing conditions.

My suggestion? Add it to torch as well and leave it the way it is. Learn to target

Learn to target? Maybe you haven’t dealt with this on short range cones. I don’t know the ranges of the skills you mention. Sometimes there are two enemies that would both be in the cone if I could aim it between them but since it faces my target it will turn me so the center of the come is aimed toward one of them missing the other target completely. Most of my melee 1 abilities don’t do this and a lot of then have an AOE cone. I wish it was more consistent. Maybe make this a toggle in the options.
