I decided to try this camera mode recently, kinda liked it (decided I’d better try it in pve first) since it easier to AA with this however once new PvP season started and I went on my thief and rev I found out that most target type abilities like Shadow Shot of thief or Phase Traversal (not to mention you can’t jump to targets that out of your range with this ability if they are out of range too) of revenant won’t work unless you look at the target directly.
This is such handicap, I can’t even describe it the moment I realized why wasn’t my Shadow Shot working sometimes on my thief xD What would we need this camera for Anet? Could we please have an option that would allow us to use our target abilities even if don’t have direct sight contact with the target like with Free Camera mode?

Right click target to lock onto it. Should be fine casting it as long as its in front or to the side of you.

You.have.gotta.be.kidding me.

You can’t use those abilities even if you target lock (right click) them with action camera. For example if you lock the target with thief and try to use Shadow Shot or Head Shot it will simply eat your initiative points without any effect. While with Free Camera you can have your target behind you or outside of your screen and use those abilities without any problem.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

And I actually thought reddit would give me something more useful than the forums. Instead got bunch of kittened simpletons not even reading/trying to comprehend my post and asking me rhetoric questions, the kitten.
Thanks, gotta read it.
