Guild Wars 2

So I can left click and turn my camera and cast wells behind me while running full speed with action camera off. Why can’t I press S and run backwards with action camera without back-peddling (once I use a skill)? I understand if I used something like Gravedigger or my staff 1 but ground targeted AoEs shouldn’t trigger the back-peddling.

I want action camera so bad! It just feels a bit less tactical for PvP/WvW. Any other ideas or is this just a repeat thread? I did a search and didn’t find anything.

I tried action camera. Once. It confused me so much with my view moving with my mouse, apparently that just doesn’t work for me. But if these changes would make it work for you that would be awesome

It would be great! Less holding left or right click to move my camera, more quickly responding to whats really important in a fight! That back-peddling kills it though.

Action Camera Improvements.
Remove slow back peddling animation
Allow the option for Manual Aiming or No manual aiming in action camera (Attacks the enemy you are locked on to regardless of where your camera is facing to help alleviate issues of forcing your camera into a wall in some instances)

Action camera is good however many skills are severely restricted or buggy while with free camera they work just fine.

It doesn’t seem like enough people care or even know it’s a thing. Probably won’t be improved upon any time soon.
