The first idea I had for the action camera is the reason I don’t use it personally. When you turn your camera around with left click using the normal camera you can cast wells and other ground targeted AoEs behind you without turning around and back peddling. This is crucial for classes like Necromancer attempting to drop AoE pressure on the move or evade enemies. In the action camera if you attempt to do this by holding S to move backwards you run full speed at the camera, until you drop an AoE regardless of if it hits an enemy, you start backpeddling.
—Please make it so simply dropping an AoE doesn’t trigger backpeddling, I understand if it hits an enemy and causes combat but otherwise it’s very disruptive.

My second idea may be a little much but I think it could add some really interesting skill-shot like mechanics. If you could start a cast while in mid air, the action camera could allow you to jump, spin, cast, and re-orient yourself to your original course all on the fly. I think this would add an extra level of skill to PvP or even movement heavy PvE encounters.

I love the action camera, I just think it needs a bit of tweaking to not be a hindrance in certain gameplay scenarios.

Make it so that it actually teleports when I have a target selected and moused over and use a teleport ability.

Increase the size of the target area, especially when using melee weapons or closer to a target, it’s too easy to use leap skills and just leap over or past a point blank target right now.

This would defeat the purpose of action camera being convenient. Less button pressing for the same effect is always better.
