Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen people automatically turn their character to attack in the opposite direction their camera is facing and kite/avoid attacking the air this way.

How does a man accomplish this.

About face Key in the keyboard options.

That turns my camera 180°, I wanna be able to look forward, and kite backwards, if that makes sense.

As far as I know, they might be using the Immersive Combat (think that’s the name – someone correct me if I’m wrong) mod so they can turn their character but the camera moves with their mouse.

Free camera. It’s one of the options in f11.

Mouse Left-click (hold) > Right click
Is what you are searching for ?

If not – could you provide a video of what you have in mind?

I want my character to rotate as my target is moving, regardless of the direction of my camera. I think I phrased it better there.

Maybe it can’t be done, this player might just be very good at targeting and playing with the camera.

At least tell me there’s a way to disable target cancel when cliking the ground.

For your character to keep attacking your target, you have to not be pressing or holding down right click. Otherwise turning will cancel your attacks.

So for not cancelling target, check there for more info.

Sounds like Stop Auto-Attacking On Target Change is disabled for you? Try playing around with the options to see if what you need is there. It sounds like in general you want Free Camera enabled.

ah i understand now , yes Cancelling targeting would be a culprit.
i’d think you;d have much more freedom of movement / foward directional movement if you only used the mouse for the Camara angle and use W for forward and then you’d Angle the camara to the direction and face your target while Strafing with Q,E,D,A while still using W as forward movement , this will allow you to keep Target at all times while Strafing but it needs Manual Camara control which can be messy/Blurry at times .

when i started doing this i lost my sense of direction a lot with the fast moving camara but it allowed me to keep track of targets much easier than using the Mouse for forward movements.

is this what your trying to achieve?
